  • 0

I’ve just finished my basic OpenGL model loader, and now I want to move over to VBOs instead of glBegin() and glEnd(). I read in an article that even VBOs are deprecated.

My question is: Are VBOs really deprecated and is there a better way to draw objects in OpenGL? Should I be using display lists perhaps?

    Vertex Buffer Objects are not deprecated. In fact, I believe they are the only (non-deprecated) way to render in OpenGL 3.0 and above.

    See the OpenGL page on Vertex Buffer Object.

    Legacy Note: Versions of OpenGL prior to 3.0 allowed the use of
    client-side data for vertex rendering, but GL 3.0 deprecated this.
    Core GL 3.1 and greater forbid client-side vertex data, so VBOs are
    the only means for rendering.
