Creating a buffer view

When we want to use a given buffer as a uniform texel buffer or as a storage texel buffer, we need to create a buffer view for it.

How to do it...

1. Take the handle of a logical device from which a given buffer was created. Store it in a variable of type VkDevice named logical_device.
2. Take the handle of a created buffer and store it in a variable of type VkBuffer named buffer.
3. Choose a format for a buffer view (how the buffer's contents should be interpreted) and use it to initialize a variable of type VkFormat named format.
4. Select the part of a buffer's memory for which a view should be created. Set the starting point of this memory (offset from the beginning of the buffer's memory) in a variable of type VkDeviceSize named memory_offset. Define the size of this memory through a variable of type VkDeviceSize named memory_range.
5. Create a variable of type VkBufferViewCreateInfo named buffer_view_create_info. Use the following values to initialize its members:
   • VK_STRUCTURE_TYPE_BUFFER_VIEW_CREATE_INFO...
