I'm working through the excellent tutorials at arcsynthesis while building a graphics engine and have discovered I don't understand VAOs as much as I thought I had. From the tutorial Chapter 5. O...

In a tutorial about OpenGL 3.0+, we create a Vertex Array Object and Vertex Buffer Object this way: GLuint VAO, VBO; glGenVertexArrays(1, &VAO); glGenBuffers(1, &VBO); glBindVertexArray(V...

I'm trying to make an app that draws an image in Android Studio with NDK and JNI to call C++ Code using OpenGL ES. I have went through the tutorial how to do this in OpenGL at : https://learnopengl...

I don't understand what the purpose is of binding points (such as GL_ARRAY_BUFFER) in OpenGL. To my understanding glGenBuffers() creates a sort of pointer to a vertex buffer object located somewher...

Looking at this question from 2010, concerning vertex buffers in modern OpenGL, is it still the case that Direct State Access is unavailable with them? I've modified most of my graphics library to ...

I'm getting started with using OpenGL 4 in Python (through Pyglet and some framework code I got off the net/wrote myself for loading Shaders/Programs), but I think I understand things fairly well, ...

I'm trying to color single vertices of quads that are drawn through glDrawElements, I'm working with cocos2d libray, so I've been able to scavenge the source code to understand exactly what is happ...
