C++ - Opengl VAO and VBO Objects - Stack Overflow

The document discusses OpenGL VAO and VBO objects for rendering multiple objects. It describes a VertexBuffer constructor that creates the VBO but does not store the generated VAO. As a result, drawing additional objects incorrectly uses the VAO from the last object. The answer recommends storing each object's VAO and binding it before drawing to ensure the correct state is used.

Opengl VAO and VBO objects

Asked 7 years, 2 months ago Modified 1 year, 3 months ago Viewed 214 times

I want to create multiple vertex buffers in objects (one by object). the constructor is:

-1 VertexBuffer::VertexBuffer(const GLvoid *data,


GLsizeiptr size,
GLenum mode,
GLsizei count,
GLsizei stride,
ShaderInterface *shaderInterface,
GLvoid *positionOffset,
GLvoid *normalOffset)
: _mode(mode),
_count(count),
_stride(stride),
_shaderInterface(shaderInterface),
_positionOffset(positionOffset),
_normalOffset(normalOffset)

{
glGenBuffers(1, &_vertexBufferID);
glBindBuffer(GL_ARRAY_BUFFER, _vertexBufferID);
glBufferData(GL_ARRAY_BUFFER, size, data, GL_STATIC_DRAW);

//
GLuint vao = 0;
glGenVertexArrays(1, &vao);
glBindVertexArray(vao);
glEnableVertexAttribArray(0); //??????
glBindBuffer(GL_ARRAY_BUFFER, _vertexBufferID);
glVertexAttribPointer(0, 3, GL_FLOAT, GL_FALSE, 0, NULL);
//
}

If I create 1 object VertexBuffer, this works ok. But if I create another object (I won't use it) and I draw the
first object again the result is not correct (for example, the object showed is in other place). Why?

1 You should show your drawing code too. – Yakov Galka Jan 15, 2017 at 7:46

You don't seem to store the vao anywhere, but you should. Before drawing each object you shall
glBindVertexArray its vao (but not _vertexBufferID ) before you call any of glDraw* .
