Vertex arrays ?

Lanman · 2002-03-20T22:13:23

Hi there ! I''ve heared something about vertex arays. Is it faster ? I guess so. So, I need to know how to do it... I''ve read (in this forum some time ago) that its not good (and fast) to call glVertex3f may times. I don''t know what vertex array looks like. I imagine that it would look like normal array. But i don''t know how to tell OpenGL to draw vertexes from this array. I''ve tried to find something looking like this in gl.h but i didn''t find anything. I imagine that the command would look like glVertexnf( ... ). I just don''t know how to do it...please help me.Send me any www or good tut how to do it. Thanks !!!

how do you fill a vertex array to use with opengl with linked lists or someother nonstatic data structure?

Vertex arrays expect just what they''re named for, arrays. malloc however many vertices you have in your list and traverse the list and copy the vertices to the array.
