In situations where this is too restrictive, it is possible to create a hardware, write-only buffer (the most efficient kind) and to back it with a system memory 'shadow' copy which can be read and updated arbitrarily. Ogre handles synchronising this buffer with the real hardware buffer (which should still be created with the HBU_DYNAMIC flag if you intend to update it very frequently). Whilst this approach does have it's own costs, such as increased memory overhead, these costs can often be outweighed by the performance benefits of using a more hardware efficient buffer. You should look for the 'useShadowBuffer' parameter on the creation methods used to create the buffer of the type you require (see HardwareBufferManager) to enable this feature. */ class _OgreExport HardwareBuffer : public BufferAlloc { public: /// Enums describing buffer usage; not mutually exclusive enum Usage { /** Static buffer which the application rarely modifies once created.
