Vertex Array Object (VAO) is an OpenGL Object that encapsulates all of the state needed to specify vertex data. They define the format of the vertex data as well as the sources for the vertex arrays.

A Vertex Array Object (VAO) is an OpenGL Object that encapsulates all of the state needed to specify vertex data (with one minor exception noted below). They define the format of the vertex data as well as the sources for the vertex arrays. Note that VAOs do not contain the arrays themselves; the arrays are stored in Buffer Objects (see below). The VAOs simply reference already existing buffer objects.

VBO wont draw, large dataset

I am trying to render a large dataset of ~100 000 values in OpenGL, right now only as points, later using sprites. My vector "positions" is ordered like this: +------------------------------------------------- | x | y | z | w | x | y | z | w | x…

VAO/VBO management - change all VBO data

I have a VAO with 3 VBOs, containing a model with vertexes, normals and texture coordinates. I intend to change all the data in those VBOs quite often, roughly from a 500ms to a 20ms update frequency. The new model downloaded to the VBO can have…

Why isn't my OpenGL "hello world" rendering?

I've been hitting my head against the wall for two days on this. I'm trying to distill the simplest possible OpenGL Core ~2.0-3.2 drawing sequence so that I can build code off of it and really understand the API. The problem I'm running into is that…

C++/OpenGL - VAO Problems

After learning about VBOs, a friend told me to try using VAOs for linking cube indices with the vertices. I followed about every tutorial I could find with no avail. It looks like the buffers are binding correctly and everything works up until I try…

EXC_BAD_ACCESS when freeing a IBO and VAO

I made a small game in iOS where VBO, IBO, and VAO are created on stage whenever a new model is loaded. When the model is no longer necessary, those buffers are freed. The buffer creation and destruction is always done at the beginning of the…

Are VertexArrayObjects used in practice?

I am currently learning OpenGL and VAO's are confusing me. As far as I understand VAO's are just encapsulating the state of VBO's. Bind VAO load buffer data Disable VAO and then you can draw it like activate VAO DrawArray ... deactivate VAO But I…

OpenGL is it possible to have two VAOs active at the same time?

So I recently learned about VAO (Vertex Array Object), and so far they seem pretty awesome, but I have a problem I cant seem to solve. I have a bunch of models, their vertex-states are stored in separate VAOs, so a single call to …
