glBindBufferRange and GL_MAX_UNIFORM_BLOCK_SIZE

Question

In OpenGL ES you can bind a specific range of a buffer to a uniform block with glBindBufferRange. Is it possible to overcome the GL_MAX_UNIFORM_BLOCK_SIZE restriction by sending data over the limit with glBufferData or glBufferSubdata, but move the offset my shaders read from by binding a range whose size is within the limit?

Answer 1

GL_MAX_UNIFORM_BLOCK_SIZE is explicitly a restriction on the size of the range you use in glBindBufferRange(GL_UNIFORM_BUFFER, ...). How big the entire buffer's storage is is irrelevant (save that the range must be within the storage, obviously), so there's nothing to "overcome".
