    Hi,

    I was wondering if anybody has had any luck passing a Compute Buffer into a native Metal shader?

    I have been following an example commit from here by Alexey
    https://bitbucket.org/Unity-Technol...mits/520af5d726ec9888523ffc058c64f0f2ab49720e

    However whenever I try to attach a simple compute buffer it just will not bind. I've attached a simple demo scene to test with. There's an example of standard CG way and a native Metal implementation of the same shader.

    If Alexey or Mantas have any ideas to get this running that would be great! :D

    Also, provided we can get this running, can it be extended out to Compute Shaders?

    Cheers,
    John
