It should be simple, but I will skip it.
I have a complex model having> 32767 vertices. indexes can now only be passed to opengl as type GL_UNSIGNED_BYTE or GL_UNSIGNED_SHORT. java does not have an unsigned concept, so the unsigned short version displays simply (signed) short, which is 16 bits, or +32767. when I specify the vertices, I need to pass opengl short [], where the values in the array point to the vertex in the vertex array. however, if there are> 32767 vertices, the value will not match the short [].
is there any other way to specify indexes? snapshot below, thanks.
short[] shorts = ... read the indices ...;
...
ShortBuffer indicesBuffer = null;
ByteBuffer ibb = ByteBuffer.allocateDirect(indices.length * Short.SIZE / 8);
ibb.order(ByteOrder.nativeOrder());
indicesBuffer = ibb.asShortBuffer();
indicesBuffer.put(indices);
indicesBuffer.position(0);
...
gl.glDrawElements(GL10.GL_TRIANGLES, numOfIndices, GL10.GL_UNSIGNED_SHORT, indicesBuffer);
...
