Create D3D12 Device

Create Descriptor Heap / Render Target View

Create Command List

         ThrowIfFailed(m_device->CreateCommandAllocator(D3D12_COMMAND_LIST_TYPE_DIRECT, IID_PPV_ARGS(&m_commandAllocator)));

    // Create the command list.

    // Command lists are created in the recording state, but there is nothing

    // to record yet. The main loop expects it to be closed, so close it now.
