Cube using single GL_TRIANGLE_STRIP

Question

Is it possible to draw a whole cube using just a single GL_TRIANGLE_STRIP?

Obviously it\'s just the cube combinatorics I\'m concerned about here, it might a

Answer 1

May be useful to some, here's a geometry shader that will take in a point and output a triangle strip of a unit cube

#version 410

layout(points) in;
layout(triangle_strip, max_vertices = 12) out;

uniform mat4 mvp;

void main() {
    vec4 center = gl_in[0].gl_Position;

    vec4 dx = mvp[0];
    vec4 dy = mvp[1];
    vec4 dz = mvp[2];

    vec4 p1 = center;
    vec4 p2 = center + dx;
    vec4 p3 = center + dy;
    vec4 p4 = p2 + dy;
    vec4 p5 = p1 + dz;
    vec4 p6 = p2 + dz;
    vec4 p7 = p3 + dz;
    vec4 p8 = p4 + dz;

    gl_Position = p7;
    EmitVertex();

    gl_Position = p8;
    EmitVertex();

    gl_Position = p5;
    EmitVertex();

    gl_Position = p6;
    EmitVertex();

    gl_Position = p2;
    EmitVertex();

    gl_Position = p8;
    EmitVertex();

    gl_Position = p4;
    EmitVertex();

    gl_Position = p7;
    EmitVertex();

    gl_Position = p3;
    EmitVertex();

    gl_Position = p5;
    EmitVertex();

    gl_Position = p1;
    EmitVertex();

    gl_Position = p2;
    EmitVertex();

    gl_Position = p3;
    EmitVertex();

    gl_Position = p4;
    EmitVertex();

}
