# LowLevelRenderTarget

An object that describes the pixel format configuration for a render pass’s color and
depth attachments.

```
final class LowLevelRenderTarget
```

## Overview

`LowLevelRenderTarget.Descriptor` is analogous to `MTLRenderPassDescriptor`’s
attachment descriptors — it specifies the `MTLPixelFormat` for color and depth
targets, and the MSAA sample count. Build a [`LowLevelRenderTarget.DescriptorSet`](/documentation/RealityKit/LowLevelRenderTarget/DescriptorSet)
from one or more descriptors and provide it when creating a `LowLevelRenderPipelineState`
and a `LowLevelMeshInstanceArray`.

## Topics

### Describing the render target

[`struct Descriptor`](/documentation/RealityKit/LowLevelRenderTarget/Descriptor)

A color and depth pixel format combination for a render pass.

[`struct DescriptorSet`](/documentation/RealityKit/LowLevelRenderTarget/DescriptorSet)

An unordered set of render target descriptors that defines the output format
combination a pipeline state or mesh instance array is compatible with.
