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.

OpenGL Vertex Array/Buffer Objects

Question 1 Do vertex buffer objects created under a certain VAO deleted once that VAO is deleted? An example: glGenBuffers(1, &bufferObject); glGenVertexArrays(1, &VAO); glBindVertexArray(VAO); glBindBuffer(GL_ARRAY_BUFFER,…

OpenGL VAO VBO shaders confusion

I am writing a renderer and am at the point to pick a final way to handle vao/vbo/shader management. On the web I found highly contradictory information on what is actually recommended. Right now idea is as follow: -One VBO stores all meshes…

VAOs and VBOs for rendering different objects

I wrote this "Model" class to load .obj files and allocate data for them in a VBO. Its code is something like this: (notice how it doesn't use VAOs) class Model {...} void Model::LoadOBJ(const char *file) { //load vertices, normals, UVs, and…

What are the Attribute locations for fixed function pipeline in OpenGL 4.0++ core profile?

I would like to know the attribute locations inside fixed pipeline (no shader attached) for nVidia OpenGL drivers: glVertex = 0 glColor = 3 glNormal = ? glTexCoord = ? glMultiTexCoord 0..7 = ? glSecondaryColor = ? glFog = ? Empirically I found the…

Crash on VAOs loaded from non-main thread

In my code I have a wrapper class for an object backed by two buffer objects and a vertex array object. I generate them using this in the constructor (slightly simplified): glGenVertexArrays(1, &vao); glBindVertexArray(vao); glGenBuffers(1,…

Problem with rendering a quad in LWJGL 3 using VAOs and VBOs

(This is the second time I am asking this question. Last time I got one answer that didn't solve it (the answer there referred a bit of code that was left accidentally from one of my attempts at fixing this). I also changed the question itself…

WebGL 2.0: Draw call succeeds even VBO is deleted

So I am using a VAO to store pointers from a VBO. I wanted to test what happens when I delete my data buffers (vbo, ibo, etc.) before binding the VAO and calling a draw. Since VAOs store pointers to the data in the corresponding data buffers, I…

Is the glVertexAttribPointer state bound to the current GL_ARRAY_BUFFER?

I have a simple question. Is it right, that glVertexAttribPointer operations have to be called once for a GL_ARRAY_BUFFER to save the attribute states until I want to change them? Or do I need to call glVertexAttribPointer each time in between…

What happens when binding a VAO without unbinding another bound VAO?

Suppose I have 2 different objects, each one has its own VAO and draw call. Something like this: void Object::Draw() { glBindVertexArray(vao); glDrawArrays(GL_TRIANGLES, foo, bar); } First I call the first object's draw call which binds its…

Qt 5.9 OpenGL buffers cleanup

I recently updated to Qt 5.9. The application I'm working on uses QOpenGLWidget and QOpenGLBuffers. I noticed that since Qt 5.9, the QOpenglWidget destruction is really slow and makes the application exits really slowly. Any suggestions/ideas to…

Java lwjgl Modern OpenGL Access Violation Exception using VAOs

I am currently following ThinMatrix's OpenGL tutorial on rendering with VAOs and VBOS. I copy the code almost exactly (the only difference being I make a factory class static instead of just having it normally). The only technical difference I can…

PyOpenGL How to set VertexAttribPointer

Do OpenGL Vertex Array Objects store vertex buffer names and indices, or only indices?

When created, do VAOs track just VBO indices (via glBindVertexBuffer), or also which VBO names are bound to those indices? If I specify a binding index of, say, 0 using glVertexAttribBinding during VAO creation, can I bind a different VBO to index…
