I am curious why the vertex_array objects are disabled by default?  Shaders are not exactly easy to learn, so it would be nice to have your vertex_array objects as a more accessible, visual alternative.

Mind if I enable them in Pd-extended?  Are they in a useful state?

This is what the vertex_array objects basically do.  The vertex_model object opens up a .obj and then passes the vertex, normal, texcoord and color data to other vertex_ objects for processing.  The speed is pretty good - better than standard geos - but the better route is to use shaders.  Shaders allow for more end user manipulation than the vertex_objects could ever offer.

Forgot the attachment.

Best,
