I'm upgrading all of my OpenGL code to support the newer specifications, as a result I don't want to use the standard matrices in my GLSL code, such as gl_ModelViewMatrix or gl_ModelViewProjectionMatrix.. I wish to use my own matrices, except the problem I see is I'm using many shaders in my engine. It would be counter productive to upload a seperate set of uniform view matrices to every shader therefore I would need to have shared matrices.
I know about Uniform Buffer Objects and Uniform Blocks... but have not use them yet, are these the only way of sharing data between different shaders? I'm just looking for someone with experience to shed some light on the subject.
Many thanks, Jon.
