Detailed Description

A base class for mesh and shader program vertex attributes.

Vertex attributes are used in model data (meshes) and material types (shader programs). Draw calls that are sent to graphics device for execution must have, among other things, both mesh and shader program attributes setup properly. VertexAttribute is a base class for MeshVertexAttribute and ShaderVertexAttribute. VertexAttribute contains name, semantic and semantic index. Derived classes MeshVertexAttribute and ShaderVertexAttribute contain additional information that is specific to mesh / shader.

Each mesh has a number of attributes, which are repeated for every vertex. For example, a mesh can have attributes such position, normal and texture coordinate. Meshes provide values for each attribute for each vertex. Shaders consume some or all of the attributes provided by mesh.
