OpenGL ES 3.0之顶点缓冲

所谓顶点缓冲就是直接将顶点数据存储在gpu的一段缓冲区，不需要从cpu拷贝到gpu。提高了程序的运行效率。

操作步骤

1.创建顶点缓冲对象

GLuint vertexBufferID;

2.分配空间

glGenBuffers(1,  &vertexBufferID);

3.绑定当前顶点缓冲对象

glBindBuffer(GL_ARRAY_BUFFER, vertexBufferID);

4.初始化缓冲区数据

glBufferData(GL_ARRAY_BUFFER, sizeof(vertices), vertices,  GL_STATIC_DRAW);

5.启用顶点属性数组

glEnableVertexAttribArray(GLKVertexAttribPosition);

6.使用顶点数据进行渲染

glVertexAttribPointer(
      GLKVertexAttribPosition,
      3, 
      GL_FLOAT,
      GL_FALSE,
      sizeof(SceneVertex),
      NULL);

7.绘制　　

glDrawArrays(GL_TRIANGLES, 0,3);
