Detailed Description

A datastructure for creating interleaved data for Mesh with a specifc format (BufferLayout)

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

◆ BufferElement()

Karma::BufferElement::BufferElement	(	ShaderDataType	type,
		const std::string &	name,
		bool	normalized = false,
		uint64_t	offset = 0 )

inline

A constructor.

Parameters

type	One of the defined ShaderDataType
name	name of the attribute (MeshAttribute)
normalized	For glVertexAttribPointer, if normalized is set to true, it indicates that values stored in an integer format are to be mapped to the range [-1,1] (for signed values) or [0,1] (for unsigned values) when they are accessed and converted to floating point. Otherwise, values will be converted to floats directly without normalization
offset	The amount of gap to be left, for instance in vertexarray

Todo: Think about vulkan needs of normalized parameter, with opengl in context, and try to abstract accordingly. Also may need to think about the custom default offsets
