Using GL_SHORT instead of GL_FLOAT in an OpenGL ES vertex array

Question

I have this vertex array of a cube

float vertex_coordinates [] = {

-12.43796, -12.43796, 12.43796, -12.43796, 12.43796, 12.43796, 12.43796, 12.43796, 12.43796,
         


        

Answer 1

instead of (+-)12.43796 use (+-)1

then apply a glScalef operation on your modelview matrix of 12.43796

I doubt this would speed up your code, however. All it will do is reduce your vertex array to half of its original size.
