Module 7

Question 1

Is an OpenGL feature that provides methods for uploading vertex data to the video device for rendering

Answer 1

Vertex Buffer Objects

Question 2

Answer 2

Vertex Buffer Objects

Question 3

What OpenGL constant is used to Bind a regular array data to the VBO
Group of answer choices

GL_VERTEX_ARRAY

GL_NORMAL_ARRAY

GL_ELEMENT_ARRAY_BUFFER

GL_ARRAY_BUFFER

Answer 3

GL_ARRAY_BUFFER

Question 4

Complete the program below by copy and pasting the appropriate statements below to its right place.

glBufferData(GL_ARRAY_BUFFER, sizeof(GLfloat)*9, trianglevertices, GL_DYNAMIC_DRAW);
glClear(GL_COLOR_BUFFER_BIT);
glUnmapBuffer(GL_ARRAY_BUFFER);
glDrawArrays(GL_TRIANGLES,0,6);
glutTimerFunc(1000,modifyTriangle,0);
glVertexPointer(3, GL_FLOAT, 0, 0);
mappedVertices = (GLfloat *) glMapBuffer(GL_ARRAY_BUFFER, GL_READ_WRITE);

Consider the program below wherein the display function is used on the display callback of GLUT. The program moves the triangle

void display(){

    glColor4f(.16f,.72f,.08f,1.0f);

    triangle();

    glFlush();

}

void modifyTriangle(int value){

           triangleUpdate=true;

          

           

          

           mappedVertices[]+=.01f; //0

           mappedVertices[]+=.01f; //3

           mappedVertices[]+=.01f; //6

          

          

           glutPostRedisplay();

}

void triangle(){

    if(!triangleUpdate) {

                           GLfloat trianglevertices[] = {

                    0.0f, .75f, 0.0f,

                    -0.75f, 0.0f, 0.0f,

                    0.75f, 0.0f, 0.0f

            };

                           

            glGenBuffers(1, &VBOid);

            glBindBuffer(GL_ARRAY_BUFFER, VBOid);

            
  

 

            glEnableClientState(GL_VERTEX_ARRAY);

            glVertexPointer(3, GL_FLOAT, 0, 0);

            
   

    }else{

               //When for update just draw the primitive object

           

           glDrawArrays(GL_TRIANGLES,0,6);

    }

}

Answer 18

main loop

Question 19

Map the buffer object into the client’s memory

Answer 19

glMapBuffer(GLenumtarget, GLenumaccess)

Question 20

If GPU is still working with the buffer object, glMapBuffer() will not return until GPU finishes its job

Answer 20

true

Question 21

After modifying the data of VBO, it must be unmapped the buffer object from the client’s memory

Answer 21

true

Question 22

Using regular arrays is more efficient than VBO as it does not need to travel from physical memory to server memory.

Answer 22

false
