VBO & element arrays for tri strips

OpenGL OpenGL: Advanced Coding

I have indices for multiple triangle strips packed into a single element array buffer. I have the number of indices for each strip stored in a separate array. When I loop over them like so, I get a crash on the second (of 6) triangle strips in my test object.

#define BUFFER_OFFSET(i) ((char *)NULL + (i))
for ( unsigned int i = 0; i < g->getNumStrips(); ++i )
{
  glDrawElements(g->getPrimitiveType(i), g->getNumIndices(i), g->getIndexType(), BUFFER_OFFSET(4*g->getIboOffset(i)));
}

Any ideas? Am I doing multiple strips from the same index buffer correctly? I’m most worried about the last argument to glDrawElements()…everything works as expected if I only have one strip per element array buffer.

Edit: Forgot to mention I’m on an FX 5600 with driver version 52.16.

So no one knows whether it is possible to put multiple triangle strips in the same index buffer?

Try glMultiDrawElements.
