I'm a newbie to OpenGL and I'm trying draw two triangles using two VAOs and only one VBO. Even if after some research, I came to have a better understanding of VAO, VBO and how the needed glew functions work, I have no clue why my program displays only one triangle instead of two. Can somebody help?
...
GLfloat points[] = {
0.5f, 0.5f, 0.0f, //First Triangle
-0.5f, 0.5f, 0.0f,
0.5f, -0.5f, 0.0f,
0.0f, 0.0f, 0.0f, //Second Triangle
-1.0f, 0.0f, 0.0f,
0.0f, -1.0f, 0.0f
};
GLuint vbo;
glGenBuffers(1, &vbo);
glBindBuffer(GL_ARRAY_BUFFER, vbo);
glBufferData(GL_ARRAY_BUFFER, sizeof(points), points, GL_STATIC_DRAW);
glBindBuffer(GL_ARRAY_BUFFER, 0);
GLuint vao1;
glGenVertexArrays(1, &vao1);
glBindVertexArray(vao1);
glBindBuffer(GL_ARRAY_BUFFER, vbo);
glVertexAttribPointer(0, 3, GL_FLOAT, GL_FALSE, 0, NULL);
glEnableVertexAttribArray(0);
glBindBuffer(GL_ARRAY_BUFFER, 0);
glBindVertexArray(0);
GLuint vao2;
glGenVertexArrays(1, &vao2);
glBindVertexArray(vao2);
glBindBuffer(GL_ARRAY_BUFFER, vbo);
glVertexAttribPointer(0, 3, GL_FLOAT, GL_FALSE, 0, (char*)NULL + 9);
glEnableVertexAttribArray(0);
glBindBuffer(GL_ARRAY_BUFFER, 0);
glBindVertexArray(0);
...
while (!glfwWindowShouldClose(window))
{
glClear(GL_COLOR_BUFFER_BIT | GL_DEPTH_BUFFER_BIT);
glUseProgram(shader_program);
glBindVertexArray(vao1);
glDrawArrays(GL_TRIANGLES, 0, 3);
glBindVertexArray(0);
glBindVertexArray(vao2);
glDrawArrays(GL_TRIANGLES, 0, 3);
glBindVertexArray(0);
glUseProgram(0);
glfwPollEvents();
glfwSwapBuffers(window);
}
...
The last parameter for this function call is incorrect:
glVertexAttribPointer(0, 3, GL_FLOAT, GL_FALSE, 0, (char*)NULL + 9);
You're telling it to add 9 bytes, but your points are floats
Try this:
glVertexAttribPointer(0, 3, GL_FLOAT, GL_FALSE, 0, (char*)NULL + 9 * sizeof(float));
