Wgpu + Slint

[dumestre]

Hi there, I’d like some information about Slint. I’m currently developing a DAW and have been building my timeline using wgpu and Rust shaders. How can I integrate my wgpu timeline with Slint without running into issues with the event loop and Winit?

I think right now the only way to achieve that is through an intermediate texture. So create a render pass that renders into a texture and convert the wgpu::Texture into slint::Image using try_from. Since wgpu::Texture is Send and Sync, I think you can do your timeline updates in a separate thread, if you'd like. Check out the wgpu_texture example in the slint repo for an example :)
