VBO Compatability

What's the differenc ebetween using Vertex Buffer Objects for OpenGL 2.1 and OpenGL 3.1?

Can I use the same method for both core versions?

Nothing.

The difference is that Nothing is shown on screen :)

glVertexAttribPointer

and non-fixed pipeline = BLANK SCREEN

Here's code



glGenBuffers(1, &vbo);

glBindBuffer(GL_ARRAY_BUFFER, vbo);

GLenum glErr = glGetError();

glBufferData(GL_ARRAY_BUFFER, 4 * sizeof(struct VertexLayout), NULL, GL_STATIC_DRAW);

glErr = glGetError();

struct VertexLayout *vertices = (struct VertexLayout *)glMapBuffer(GL_ARRAY_BUFFER, GL_WRITE_ONLY);

glErr = glGetError();

vertices[0].pos[0] = -1; vertices[0].pos[1] = -1; vertices[0].pos[2] = -10; vertices[0].pos[3] = 1;
vertices[0].color[0] = 1; vertices[0].color[1] = 1; vertices[0].color[2] = 1; vertices[0].color[3] = 1;

vertices[1].pos[0] = 1; vertices[1].pos[1] = -1; vertices[1].pos[2] = -10; vertices[1].pos[3] = 1;
vertices[1].color[0] = 1; vertices[1].color[1] = 1; vertices[1].color[2] = 1; vertices[1].color[3] = 1;

vertices[2].pos[0] = 1; vertices[2].pos[1] = 1; vertices[2].pos[2] = -10; vertices[2].pos[3] = 1;
vertices[2].color[0] = 0; vertices[2].color[1] = 1; vertices[2].color[2] = 1; vertices[2].color[3] = 1;

vertices[3].pos[0] = -1; vertices[3].pos[1] = 1; vertices[3].pos[2] = -10; vertices[3].pos[3] = 1;
vertices[3].color[0] = 0; vertices[3].color[1] = 1; vertices[3].color[2] = 1; vertices[3].color[3] = 1;

glUnmapBuffer(GL_ARRAY_BUFFER);

glErr = glGetError();

glVertexAttribPointer(0, 4, GL_FLOAT, GL_FALSE, sizeof(struct VertexLayout), 0);

glErr = glGetError();

struct VertexLayout v;
unsigned int colorStart = ((char *)&v.color[0] - (char *)&v.pos[0]);
glVertexAttribPointer(1, 4, GL_FLOAT, GL_FALSE, sizeof(struct VertexLayout), (char *)colorStart);

glErr = glGetError();

glEnableVertexAttribArray(0);
glEnableVertexAttribArray(1);

glErr = glGetError();


I then call DrawArrays(GL_TRIANGLE_FAN, 0, 4);

The shape renders fine (square) but in white color.

When I change the vertices color attribute it does not change.

The shader works fine, and I verified it with non VBO using glBeing/End and VertexAttrib, the correct color shows.

Am I missing something here?

okay guys, my mistake...it was shader error :D
got it!
