Vertex Buffers - Vulkan Game Engine Tutorial 06

We cover how vertex buffers store data, and can be bound to graphics pipelines. A vertex buffer is really just a chunk of memory that we pass into our vertex shader. We can put whatever data we would like into this memory as long as we tell our graphics pipeline how it is structured.
