Re: Loading vertex arrays in the graphics card ?


I am wondering how I could load an array (or even more than 1) of vertices (and related colors, normals, tangents, texcoords) into the memory of the graphics card, once and for all.

ARB_vertex_buffer_object (10.3+, cross-platform)
http://oss.sgi.com/projects/ogl-sample/registry/ARB/ vertex_buffer_object.txt

APPLE_vertex_array_range (10.2+, mac-specific)
http://oss.sgi.com/projects/ogl-sample/registry/APPLE/ vertex_array_range.txt


The mac-specific extension is really not an option sinc the code must work on Linux, so I looked into ARB_vertex_buffer_object, and this is really weird, but apple's developer website doesn't talk about it (http://developer.apple.com/graphicsimaging/opengl/extensions.html), and glxinfo on X11 doesn't give me that extension (any way to get the opengl extensions without using glxinfo on X11 ?). When I read from the spec you gave me, it says that this extension is used in OpenGL 1.4, but OS X.3 uses OpenGL 1.2.1... So where is this extension hidden ?
