LWJGL不渲染任何东西

Question

I am trying to learn how to use LWJGL3 and I just got to a state where I want to render something (a test quad for now). I have a class that represents a mesh where I set up the VAO with vertex, colour and indices buffers and another object later takes the mesh instance, retrieves its VAO ID and attempts to render it.

The problem I have is that no matter what I try, nothing renders in the window. I can change the background colour through the glClearColor() method but the quad never shows up.

The VAO set up:

vertexCount = indices.length;

vaoID = glGenVertexArrays();
glBindVertexArray(vaoID);
glEnableVertexAttribArray(0);
glEnableVertexAttribArray(1);

//Vertices
FloatBuffer verticesBuffer = BufferUtils.createFloatBuffer(positions.length);
verticesBuffer.put(positions).flip();

vboID = glGenBuffers();
glBindBuffer(GL_ARRAY_BUFFER, vboID);
glBufferData(GL_ARRAY_BUFFER, verticesBuffer, GL_STATIC_DRAW);
glVertexAttribPointer(0, 3, GL_FLOAT, false, 3 * 4, 0);

//Colours
FloatBuffer colorsBuffer = BufferUtils.createFloatBuffer(colors.length);
colorsBuffer.put(colors).flip();

colVboID = glGenBuffers();
glBindBuffer(GL_ARRAY_BUFFER, colVboID);
glBufferData(GL_ARRAY_BUFFER, colorsBuffer, GL_STATIC_DRAW);
glVertexAttribPointer(1, 3, GL_FLOAT, false, 3 * 4, 0);

//Indices
IntBuffer indicesBuffer = BufferUtils.createIntBuffer(indices.length);
indicesBuffer.put(indices).flip();

idxVboID = glGenBuffers();
glBindBuffer(GL_ELEMENT_ARRAY_BUFFER, idxVboID);
glBufferData(GL_ELEMENT_ARRAY_BUFFER, indicesBuffer, GL_STATIC_DRAW);

//Unbind
glBindBuffer(GL_ARRAY_BUFFER, 0);
glBindVertexArray(0);

The rendering code:

//Bind the shader
shaderProgram.bind();

//Bind the VAO
glBindVertexArray(mesh.getVaoID());

//Draw
glDrawElements(GL_TRIANGLES, mesh.getVertexCount(), GL_UNSIGNED_INT, 0);

//Restore
glBindVertexArray(0);
shaderProgram.unbind();

Vertex shader:

#version 330

layout (location=0) in vec3 pos;
layout (location=1) in vec3 inColor;

out vec3 exColor;

void main()
{
    gl_Position = vec4(pos, 1.0);
    exColor = inColor;
}

Fragment shader:

#version 330

in vec3 exColor;
out vec4 fragColor;

void main()
{
    fragColor = vec4(exColor, 1.0);
}

What am I doing wrong?

Answer 1

The problem was not in the parts of code shown, but in the main loop that I copied from a book without thoroughly thinking through what it did. I ended up with a glClear call right before glfwSwapBuffers call, which cleared the buffer right before showing it.

Lesson of the day: don't just copy from a book, think thoroughly about what you're doing
