VBO Headaches!
Jul 20th, 2009, 8:07pm  
[remove/edit]: crash no longer happens with this new VBO demo, for me:

http://benhem.com/VBOdemo

the culprit seems to have been the stop().  I should have known.  But, now I am not positive that it is shutting down its processes perfectly and freeing up the graphics card entirely, so any input from those with more OpenGL experience would be greatly appreciated.  --Ben

I made the simplest demo I could, and it works great in the Processing IDE.  But online, it works at first but consistently crashes Mac (PPC) browsers when navigating away from the applet, and doesn't work at all on PC/Windows machines.  Not sure about Linux.

Here is my demo, watch out for browser crashing:

and here is the code, in a separate PasteBin:

Can anyone see what's going wrong   Thanks!  --Ben


Both applets work fine in Ubuntu 9.04 + Firefox and Sun jre 1.6.  Might be something changed between 1.5 and 1.6 as I believe most macs still have the older version ...
