Which side is considered the "front" side is set by the function glFrontFace​. Vertex 2 Vertex 1 This is global state. mode​ may be GL_CW​ (clockwise = left-hand rule) or GL_CCW​ (counter-clockwise = right-hand rule) is front, respectively. The default is GL_CCW​.

  12. Primitives • There is a limit to the number of attributes you can have for a vertex. An attribute can have 1,2,3 or 4 elements. • glGet(GL_MAX_VERTEX_ATTRIBS); • the maximum number of 4-component generic vertex attributes accessible to a vertex shader. The value must be at least 8 for 2.0, 16 for 3+.

  21. Primitives Yes, you can use lots and lots of memory rendering a primitive. This is called BANDWIDTH Bandwidth is your enemy Avoid Bandwidth at all costs Bandwidth is a performance killer Bandwidth is a battery killer It will make your app bloated and slow It will take longer to load and download No one will want to play with you if you are bloated and slow Performance Tip: Strive to use as little bandwidth as possible!

  22. Primitives • Methods of reducing primitive bandwidth (in order): • Do not let your artists go wild • Agree on a few (very few) minimal vertex formats • Use the minimum vertex count possible(i.e. do not use high-detail models when you don’t need to) • Reuse vertices by using indexed vertices. • Use higher-order primitive. • Use Instanced rendering. • Store data on the GPU (server side) if possible. • Compress your client side data – unpack it in the shader. • Tell (hint) OpenGL the data usage (i.e. static, dynamic). • Use Level-of-Detail (LOD) primitive sets. • Use advanced shaders (compute, tessellation, geometry)YMMV

  23. Primitives Use a higher order primitive. You can get good reuse if you use one of the STRIPS or FANS primitives. The longer the primitive, the more efficient – approaching 66% reduction overall in vertex buffer size.

  24. Primitives Tailor vertex data storage and usage Example 1a: Vertex Arrays - nonindexed GLfloat cube[] = { 0.5f,-0.5f,-0.5f, 0.5f, 0.5f,-0.5f, 0.5f, 0.5f, 0.5f, 0.5f,-0.5f, ... -0.5f, 0.5f,-0.5f, 0.5f, 0.5f,-0.5f}; // 36 total floats glVertexAttribPointer(0, // index of the attribute 3, // number of components 1, 2, 3, or 4 GL_FLOAT, // data type of the components GL_FALSE, // normalize? 0, // stride cube); // pointer to the start of vertex attribute data glEnableVertexAttribArray(0); // enable attribute 0 // use the vertex array to draw triangles glDrawArrays(GL_TRIANGLES,0,36); glDisableVertexAttribArray(0); // disable attribute 0

  25. Primitives Tailor vertex data storage and usage Example 1b: Vertex Arrays - indexed GLfloatcube[] = { -0.5f, -0.5f, -0.5f, -0.5f, 0.5f, -0.5f, 0.5f, -0.5f, -0.5f, 0.5f, 0.5f, -0.5f, 0.5f, -0.5f, 0.5f, 0.5f, 0.5f, 0.5f, -0.5f, -0.5f, 0.5f, -0.5f, 0.5f, 0.5f }; // 24 total floats GLushortindices[] = {0,1,2, 0,7,1, 7,5,3, 7,3,1, 4,5,6, 4,6,2, 3,4,2, 3,5,4, 2,1,3, 2,6,0, 6,7,0, 6,5,7,}; glVertexAttribPointer(0, // index of the attribute 3, // number of components 1, 2, 3, or 4 GL_FLOAT, // data type of the components GL_FALSE, // normalize? 0, // stride cube); // pointer to the start of vertex attribute data glEnableVertexAttribArray(0); // enable attribute 0 // use the index array and the vertex array to draw triangles glDrawElements(GL_TRIANGLES, 36, GL_UNSIGNED_SHORT, indices ); glDisableVertexAttribArray(0); // disable attribute 0

  26. Primitives • Tailor vertex data storage and usage • Example 2: Vertex Buffer Objects • The problem with Vertex Arrays are that when you issue a glDrawXXXcommand the data must be copied from client memory to graphics memory. Every time you draw. You can avoid this overhead using Vertex Buffer Objects (VBO’s). • Creates buffers in GPU memory • Memory is resident on GPU • Can free up memory on client side • Can provide “hints” of usage • Enable/Disable via the currently “bound” buffer

  27. Primitives • Tailor vertex data storage and usage • Example 2: Vertex Buffer Objects - creation • GLuintIDs[2]; • structvertStruct{ … // vertex interleaved data }; • vertStructverts[100] = {…}; • Glubyteindx[300] = {…}; • glGenBuffers(2, IDs); // one for vertex, one for index • // vertex data • glBindBuffer(GL_ARRAY_BUFFER, IDs[0]); • glBufferData(GL_ARRAY_BUFFER, 100 * sizeof(vertStruct),verts, GL_STATIC_DRAW); • // index data • glBindBuffer(GL_ELEMENT_ARRAY_BUFFER, IDs[1]); • glBufferData(GL_ARRAY_BUFFER, 300* sizeof(Glubyte),indx,GL_STATIC_DRAW); • unsigned int stride = sizeof(vertStruct); • glEnableVertexAttribArray(0); • glVertexAttribPointer(0,3,GL_FLOAT,GL_FALSE,stride,(void *)0); • glEnableVertexAttribArray(1); // plus any more in the vertex attribs • glVertexAttribPointer(1,3,GL_FLOAT,GL_FALSE,stride,(void *)(sizeof(float)*3)); • glDrawElements(GL_TRIANGLES, 36, GL_UNSIGNED_SHORT, (void *)0 ); • glDisableVertexAttribArray(1); • glDisableVertexAttribArray(0); • glBindBuffer(GL_ARRAY_BUFFER, 0); • glBindBuffer(GL_ELEMENT_ARRAY_BUFFER, 0);

  28. Primitives • The idiosyncratic glVertexAttribPointer command • The glVertexAttribPointercommand is one command with two distinct functions. The OpenGL-ES version still has the functionality that was deprecated in OpenGL, while it also has newer additional functionality. • Rather than have a new function that provides access to the new functionality, the glVertexAttribPointerfunction provides two separate but similar bits of functionality – depending upon the OpenGL state. • It is used to describe the vertex data format, size and offsets in both cases. • By default, it points to the vertex attribute data that sits on the CPU side that you want to use for rendering. It renders vertex arrays. • IF there is a VBO active, the arguments do NOT point to the data but you pass in the offset of the VBO array that is active. Hence the last argument will require a cast from an unsigned integer to a pointer, even though it’s an offset and not an address. • void glVertexAttribPointer(GLuintindex, • GLint size, • GLenum type, • GLboolean normalized, • GLsizei stride, • constGLvoid * pointer); • Specifies a pointer to the first generic vertex attribute in the array. If a non-zero buffer is currently bound to the GL_ARRAY_BUFFER target, pointer specifies an offset of into the array in the data store of that buffer.

  29. Primitives Use Instanced Rendering. (OpenGL-ES 3.0) Instancing is a way of executing the same drawing commands many times with one function call. You can render the same vertex data many times with different results. You perform instanced rendering with; glDrawArraysInstanced glDrawElementsInstanced And use the glVertexAttribDivisor command to skip to sequential elements in a vertex array or you can use the shader variable GL_INSTANCE_ID and do something in the shader.

  30. Primitives Use Instanced Rendering.Example 3a: Multiple objects non-instanced rendering Position0, Position1, Position2...PositionN Attrib 0 Normal0, Normal1, Normal2...NormalN Attrib 1 Matrix0, Matrix1, Matrix2...MatrixN for (inti = 0; i < NumInstances; ++i) { glUniformMatrix4fv(…); // send matrix[i] glDrawElements(…); // render object }

  31. Primitives Use Instanced Rendering. (OpenGL-ES 3.0)Example 3b: Multiple objects instanced rendering Position0, Position1, Position2...PositionN Attrib 0 Normal0, Normal1, Normal2...NormalN Attrib 1 Matrix0, Matrix1, Matrix2...MatrixN Attrib 2-5 // tell it NOT to advance per vertex, // but per N instances rendered, here N=1 glVertexAttribDivisor(2, 1); glDrawElementsInstanced(…,NumInstances);

  32. Primitives Use Indirect Rendering. (OpenGL-ES 3.1) OpenGL-ES 3.1 introduces Indirect Rendering, which allows you to fetch arguments from buffer objects. This allows you to generate arguments on the GPU and then draw from the GPU, without CPU intervention. Typical examples are particle systems or animation systems.

This is the maximum positive value that the index size can hold. The size of the index array elements is one of GL_UNSIGNED_BYTE, GL_UNSIGNED_SHORT, or GL_UNSIGNED_INT. You must 1st enable this state through the call: glEnable(GL_PRIMITIVE_RESTART_FIXED_INDEX);
