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);
