Syntax

class FRDGBuilder : private FRDGAllocatorScope

Remarks

Use the render graph builder to build up a graph of passes and then call Execute() to process them. Resource barriers and lifetimes are derived from RDG parameters in the pass parameter struct provided to each AddPass call. The resulting graph is compiled, culled, and executed in Execute(). The builder should be created on the stack and executed prior to destruction.
