Drawing with element array in OpenGL ES
- by FatalMojo
Hello!
I am trying to use OpenGLES to draw a x by y matrix of squares about an arbitrary point.
I have an array sideVertice[] that holds a series of vertex structs defined as such
typedef struct {
GLfloat x;
GLfloat y;
GLfloat z;
} Vertex3D;
and an element array defined as such
GLubyte elementArray[];
my draw loop is as such
glLoadIdentity();
glVertexPointer(3, GL_FLOAT, 0, cube.sideVertice);
for (int i=0; i<((cube.cubeSize + 1)*(cube.cubeSize + 1)); i++) {
for (int j=0; j<=3; j++) {
elementArray[j] = j + i*4;
glDrawElements(GL_TRIANGLE_STRIP, 4, GL_UNSIGNED_BYTE, elementArray);
}
}
for (int i=0; i<=3; i++)
elementArray[i] = i;
However, the visual output is corrupted and I cannot figure out what the problem is.
here is an output of the vertice held in the array:

any ideas?
