Also, for the general case, it is actually the faster path and has been since the introduction of hardware T&L. If you need special case handling then you shouldn't compromise the general case for it, IMO. | |

| Oct 12, 2012 at 17:24 | comment | added | Benjamin Danger Johnson | @Byte56 unfortunately no, I have not tried gDEBugger, I've just been using the standard VisualStudio2010 debugger and running error checking with a combination of the glGetError and glut's getErrorMessage methods. | |
| Oct 12, 2012 at 17:23 | comment | added | Benjamin Danger Johnson | @JariKomppa yep, I mentioned in the question that it was working fine with multiarrays (aside from a small lighting issue) but when I modified the code to what I think would work for interleaving, I'm coming up blank. The only modifications are to the code shown. | |
| Oct 12, 2012 at 17:21 | comment | added | House | Have you tried gDEBugger? It's fairly nice for debugging openGL issues. | |
| Oct 12, 2012 at 17:21 | comment | added | Jari Komppa | Did you have it working without interleaving first? | |
| Oct 12, 2012 at 17:19 | comment | added | Benjamin Danger Johnson | @JariKomppa well I can't exactly bench mark this because it is not working to begin with. I realize this can be inefficient in some cases, but the goal is just to get it working for now and worry about optimization later. | |
| Oct 12, 2012 at 17:17 | comment | added | Jari Komppa | Why are you trying to interleave arrays? You shouldn't complicate your code unless you have a clear reason for it. I assume you're doing it for some potential speed improvements; you should only do things like this if you can benchmark that it actually speed things up.. In fact, in certain environments, interleaved arrays actually make things slower. | |
