Procedural Geom through compute shader

[rdb]

I just created some sample code showing how to do this:

Flying embers effect using compute shaders and vertex pulling from SSBOs

I quickly hacked up a little sample to demonstrate how to create a particle effect system on the GPU using compute shaders and vertex pulling from shader-generated buffers. I could have used a point cloud for this, of course, but wanted to show how one could do this using triangles. embers.zip (21.5 KB) An interesting exercise for the reader would be to modify it to create motion streaks by elongating the triangles in the direction of motion.
