VB.NET and interleaving problem

Posted Thursday, 20 January, 2011 - 02:11 by vmelkon in

Rendering with immediate code works, however that was only a test. I need to render my vertex structure with regular vertex arrays.
glGetError() returns 0, so there is no error.
I have posted the entire code but the relevant part starts with Call GL.EnableClientState(ArrayCap.VertexArray).

Also notice my "Structure TVertex_VNTC"
and
"Public Structure TVertex_VNTC2".

Vertex arrays will not work correctly in .Net, unless you pin the arrays. Don't do that: use vertex buffer objects instead!

I can't because I have to use GL 1.1

In that case, either pin the arrays after you create them:

GCHandle.Alloc(pVertex, GCHandleType.Pinned)

or, if the data is immutable, use display lists which don't suffer from this issue.

What exactly is "pinned". Does the array move around because of some memory allocator?

Also, I am declaring the array on the stack. I don't see why the array's location would change between a call from
glVertexPointer and glDrawElements. It could even cause a crash.

Managed arrays are always allocated on the heap in .Net.

The .Net GC is a compacting garbage collector, which means it will move memory around to improve performance. This is perfectly fine in pure .Net programs, where the collector knows precisely where each piece of memory lies and ensures that all memory references are valid.

Once you pass a managed piece of memory to unmanaged code, however, these guarantees go out the window. This can cause crashes if you are not careful, which is why Vertex Arrays are generally not recommended (VBOs and display lists do not suffer from this issue). The solution is to either (a) pin the memory yourself for as long as the unmanaged code will be using it or (b) allocate unmanaged memory via Marshal.AllocHGlobal() and store your arrays there (the second solution is rather annoying to use, since you have to use Marshal.Read/Write*() methods to access those arrays).

Ok, so I tried 1 VBO and 1 IBO and it still is not rendering.

You are not specifying texcoord and color offsets for the VBO code.

Check the "VBO Static" sample in the OpenTK Example Browser.

You are right, I was uploading pVertex
I changed
Call GL.BufferData(BufferTarget.ArrayBuffer, q * 4, pVertex, BufferUsageHint.StaticDraw)
to
Call GL.BufferData(BufferTarget.ArrayBuffer, 12 * 4, pvv, BufferUsageHint.StaticDraw)

and also
Call GL.VertexPointer(3, VertexPointerType.Float, 12, New IntPtr(0))
Call GL.DrawElements(BeginMode.Triangles, 6, DrawElementsType.UnsignedInt, IntPtr.Zero)

I'm not using texcoord or color.

Still not getting any triangles and glGetError() returns 0.

I use GLIntercept to see what is happening.
**** Never mind, there is some sort of problem with GLIntercept

Try gDEBugger. They offer a free download now and it generally works better than glIntercept.
