Migration guide
Changed API for ICustomEffectHandler
In order for the ICustomEffectHandler to work for all the platforms, data should be transferred for some rendering APIs between the backend and the handler implementation. For this reason, we’ve changed the OnDrawCustomEffect callback which now takes void as its second parameter. The data is filled in the corresponding backend’s function DrawCustomEffect. In the cases when the parameter is nullptr, that means that no data from the backend is required to execute the draw call.
There was another requirement for some rendering APIs, where the rendering pass should be finished when the constant buffers are updated. So, we’ve implemented another callback OnPrepareConstantBufferData which is called on platforms with specifics in the update of the constant buffers' GPU data. You can check ICustomEffectHandler’s definition in BaseBackend.h to read more about this callback. Also check the implementation of DrawCustomEffect in VulkanBackend.cpp.
