Hi, in the first case, you are giving the address of the first element of the vector in the second case since you have a pointer to a vector, you are giving the address of the vector itself.

By telling opengl were finished with the pointer operations via glunmapbuffer, opengl knows youre done. So far as glbufferdata is concerned, youre just transferring bytes. So this is the case where glmapbuffer is more efficient. A lot of code can be shared between versions, even es2 and gl4. The cache assumes that the vertex shader is deterministic which it was up till opengl 4. A vertex buffer object vbo is an opengl feature that provides methods for uploading vertex. If you have used another graphics api or an older version of opengl before, and you want an ataglance look at the differences, then.
This function has often been used for interleaved arrays but even if we still could use it with vbos, there is a better option based on glpointer functions. What matters is that the buffer you want to source a given attribute from is bound when you make the glvertexattribpointer call for that attribute the best way to picture this is that when you. The only way to do this in opengl is to duplicate the whole vertex, with its whole set of attributes. For glnamedbufferdata, a buffer object associated with id specified by the caller in buffer will be used instead.

Im not going to explain the code beyond the comments. This avoids the cost of reallocating the data store. The opengl buffer is created, bound, filled and configured with the standard functions glgenbuffers, glbindbuffer, glbufferdata, glvertexattribpointer.

Specifies the target to which the buffer object is bound for glbuffersubdata, which must be. So in this case its actually better to have two different normals, one for each vertex. Specifies the target to which the buffer object is bound for glbufferdata, which must be one of the buffer binding targets in the following table. News, information and discussion about opengl development. First of all that quote you give doesnt really apply to glbuffersubdata itself, but to the actual buffer data at a whole when used by whatever gl functions that actually work on the buffer object, like drawing from a vbo, since glbuffersubdata doesnt have any notion of any multibyte data types yet, it just copies a bunch of bytes around. Opengl vertex buffer object vbo to store vertex array data with high performance transfer rate such. Vertex buffer object vbo creates buffer objects for vertex attributes in.
