How to apply Bullet physics to drawn Opengl 3d shapes

Question

I was just wondering whether there is a way to apply bullet physics to opengl drawn objects (created using glVertex3f or triangle mesh with glVertexAttribPointer). I am curr

Bullet is independent of OpenGL, it's up to you to apply the transformation to your geometry.

You can store your transforms into separate objects instead of modifying your vertices. It's what do Vehicle Dynamics Engine Demo (JOGL + JBullet) and JMonkeyEngine 3 which has its own Bullet binding and a renderer based on JOGL 2 (and some other renderers that I don't use).

Please look at our demos using JOGL and JBullet here: https://github.com/sgothel/jogl-demos/tree/master/src/jbullet
