Known Issues

The Vulkan version of the sample has a known TDR when used on AMD GPUs with the Radeon Software Adrenalin 2020 Edition 20.12.1 driver. If you hit that issue, please go back to Radeon Software Adrenalin 2020 Edition 20.11.3 which is unaffected, ahead of the next release of glTFSample in early January which will fix it.

glTFSample v1.0

This is the first public release of glTFSample.
