[PyOpenGL-Users] How to draw a cube using indices ?

[Florian N. <flo...@en...>]

Hi everybody!


I recently started to learn OpenGL through Python thanks to several tutorial (especially the Nicolas P. Rougier one: http://www.labri.fr/perso/nrougier/teaching/opengl/).


I am now switching to 3D and I am trying to draw a cube.


Thus, I manage to get some triangles which do not render a cube (this seems to be normal as I do not duplicate my vertices and I use the glDrawArrays function).


However, after, I build an index "vector" to further use the glDrawElements function to render my cube. As a result, I do not get any error but nothing appears on screen.


I hope you could be of some help!


Thanks.


Here is my code:

        gl_Position = matCam*vec4(scale*position, 1.0);
        v_color = color;
    } """
