Vertex buffers were used alongside index buffers in renderable meshes. Their only known use is in Black 2 (2006-06-29 build); the type was deprecated by the time Burnout 5 (2006-11-13 build) was built.
Note that because this is a standalone resource type, indices and vertices are completely separate. This is unlike its modern counterpart, where they reside together in a single buffer.
Structures
This listing defines types for Xbox 360 only. For other platforms, although the modern format is not identical, it is similar. See Renderable.

| Offset | Length | Type | Name | Description | Comments |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 0x0 | 0x4 | uint32_t | ? | D3D resource type | May have highest nibble as a flag See D3DRESOURCETYPE |
| 0x4 | 0x4 | uint32_t | ? | Always 1? | |
| 0x8 | 0x4 | ? | ? | ||
| 0xC | 0x4 | ? | ? | ||
| 0x10 | 0x4 | ? | ? | ||
| 0x14 | 0x2 | int16_t | ? | Always -1? | |
| 0x16 | 0x2 | Padding | |||
| 0x18 | 0x4 | uint32_t | ? | Start offset + 3 | |
| 0x1C | 0x4 | uint32_t | ? | Buffer size + 2 | May have highest nibble as a flag |
This is followed by the array header.
Array header
| Offset | Length | Type | Name | Description | Comments |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 0x0 | 0x2 | uint16_t | ? | Combined length of this header and values Same as in mesh state |
|
| 0x2 | 0x1 | uint8_t | ? | Number of values | |
| 0x3 | 0x1 | ? | ? | Padding? | |
| 0x4 | 0x4 | uint32_t | ? |
The values this stores are possibly flags, though none of the fields are known.
