Can we allocate memory on the stack on the CPU before sending it to the GPU?

1 point

Yes, this is okay because when we ship data to the GPU we are making a copy. So this means the data will persist on the GPU, even when we leave scope and the memory would be reclaimed on the CPU end.

No, we must always allocate on the heap when sending data to the CPU.

Clear selection

In regard to the 'point light' what is attenuation?
*

1 point

This is the reduction in lighting over a distance. Typically we can model this realistically using a constant, linear, and quadratic factor multiplied by distance from the light source.

This is the increase in lighting over time.

Why do we add textures to triangles?
*

1 point

It's a way to add more 'data' into our scenes that is relatively cheap when compared to adding additional geometry. Typically a texture will be used to add surface detail to a triangle (though sometimes it may be used to compute or store additional information).

When I 'bind' to something in OpenGL, or do 'glUse' how should I interpret those commands?
*

1 point

Think of them as 'selecting' something that you want to use or modify in your graphics pipeline.
