For example, we can tell opengl some transformations to do to every vertex of our shape. This is similar to display lists in which the display list is cached in vram and executed from there, yielding a higher fps. There are two main methods of drawing stuff using a gpu. Note that this target flag assists vbo to decide the most efficient locations of buffer objects, for example, some. Nehe tutorials are generally a good resource, for tutorials, maybe you can find. To make it work i have to reload vbo data every frame in render function that happens because i have 2 models each models constructor calls loadvbo, and obviously the second model overrides the first vbo s 1,2 and 3 id positionsi was assuming that the vao generated from the first object will be entirely separate from the vao generated from.

This time were going to use the vertex data from our vbo, so we bind the vbo using glbindbuffer. For example in computer graphics, computing the color of a pixel usually does not depend. It works by specifying a special vertex array element index that causes the current primitive to be restarted. After were done drawing our vbo, we disable vertex arrays and update the screen. Instancing is a technique where we draw many equal mesh data objects at once with a single render call, saving us all the cpu gpu communications each time we need to render an object. There are really a couple of ways to go about this, one of which is called mapping the memory. Yes, they do give you an easy overview of how instancing works, but instancing gets most of its power when drawing an enormous amount of similar objects.
