Instancing - Sending mat44 array to a VBO crash

Hi OpenGL community!

I’m trying to instancing geometry. I’ve found this very good tutorial:

http://sol.gfxile.net/instancing.html

In the last example (ARB_instanced_arrays), the code is!

int pos = glGetAttribLocation(shader_instancedarrays.program, "transformmatrix");
int pos1 = pos + 0; 
int pos2 = pos + 1; 
int pos3 = pos + 2; 
int pos4 = pos + 3; 
glEnableVertexAttribArray(pos1);
glEnableVertexAttribArray(pos2);
glEnableVertexAttribArray(pos3);
glEnableVertexAttribArray(pos4);
glBindBuffer(GL_ARRAY_BUFFER, VBO_containing_matrices);
glVertexAttribPointer(pos1, 4, GL_FLOAT, GL_FALSE, sizeof(GLfloat) * 4 * 4, (void*)(0));
glVertexAttribPointer(pos2, 4, GL_FLOAT, GL_FALSE, sizeof(GLfloat) * 4 * 4, (void*)(sizeof(float) * 4));
glVertexAttribPointer(pos3, 4, GL_FLOAT, GL_FALSE, sizeof(GLfloat) * 4 * 4, (void*)(sizeof(float) * 8));
glVertexAttribPointer(pos4, 4, GL_FLOAT, GL_FALSE, sizeof(GLfloat) * 4 * 4, (void*)(sizeof(float) * 12));
glVertexAttribDivisor(pos1, 1);
glVertexAttribDivisor(pos2, 1);
glVertexAttribDivisor(pos3, 1);
glVertexAttribDivisor(pos4, 1);

There is a glBindBuffer so I suppose it send his matrices to a VBO before (there is not this part of the code…).

So I’m trying to sending my std::vector<Imath::M44f > so I’m doing like this:

glBufferData(GL_ARRAY_BUFFER, 16*sizeof(GLfloat)matrixArray.size(), (GLvoid)&matrixArray[0].x, GL_STATIC_DRAW);

And it crash there…

I’ve tryed many combination:

(GLvoid*)&matrixArray[0].x
(GLvoid*)&matrixArray[0].x[0]
(GLvoid*)&matrixArray[0].x[0][0]

But this still don’t work…

If I don’t use VBO:

int pos = glGetAttribLocation(shader_instancedarrays.program, "transformmatrix");
int pos1 = pos + 0; 
int pos2 = pos + 1; 
int pos3 = pos + 2; 
int pos4 = pos + 3; 
glEnableVertexAttribArray(pos1);
glEnableVertexAttribArray(pos2);
glEnableVertexAttribArray(pos3);
glEnableVertexAttribArray(pos4);
/*glBindBuffer(GL_ARRAY_BUFFER, VBO_containing_matrices);*/
glVertexAttribPointer(pos1, 4, GL_FLOAT, GL_FALSE, sizeof(GLfloat) * 4 * 4, (GLvoid*)&matrixArray[0].x[0]);
glVertexAttribPointer(pos2, 4, GL_FLOAT, GL_FALSE, sizeof(GLfloat) * 4 * 4, (GLvoid*)&matrixArray[0].x[1]);
glVertexAttribPointer(pos3, 4, GL_FLOAT, GL_FALSE, sizeof(GLfloat) * 4 * 4, (GLvoid*)&matrixArray[0].x[2]);
glVertexAttribPointer(pos4, 4, GL_FLOAT, GL_FALSE, sizeof(GLfloat) * 4 * 4, (GLvoid*)&matrixArray[0].x[3]);
glVertexAttribDivisor(pos1, 1);
glVertexAttribDivisor(pos2, 1);
glVertexAttribDivisor(pos3, 1);
glVertexAttribDivisor(pos4, 1);

This work!

Problem with std::vector<Imath::M44f > format?

Any idea? :frowning:
