Development:Renderdoc

Getting a capture

Without Thunks

• Ensure Renderdoc is installed in the rootfs

OpenGL

• Set LD_PRELOAD=librenderdoc.so as an environment variable
• This can be done in FEXConfig or an application profile to limit its reach

Vulkan

• Ensure the renderdoc layer is installed
• Set ENABLE_VULKAN_RENDERDOC_CAPTURE=1 as an environment variable
• This can be done in FEXConfig or an application profile to limit its reach

Alternatively

You can use renderdoccmd to launch an application directly.

• renderdoccmd capture -w <program> <args...>

As long as this application is installed in your rootfs then it should work for both OpenGL and Vulkan applications.

Capture results

• Once you have captured a frame in an application running renderdoc (F12 typically)
• The results will be in /tmp/RenderDoc/ as *.rdc files
• Technically these are meant to be moved over to the qrenderdoc application but you can rip them directly
