[osg-users] osg_Vertex with GL compatibility profile

[Sebastian Messerschmidt]

Hi Ravi,

That is probably simply by chance, since the vertex attribute is usually 
the first one in the stream. The compiler will map the first attribute 
there. So basically this works most of the time.

The cow model might not have texture coordinates but generated texture 
coordinates. I can't test the example right now, but maybe this is the 
reason. Usually when you go with vertex attribute aliasing you need to 
use an appropriate shader for the data.
