Difference between GL_TRIANGLE_STRIP and GL_QUAD_STRIP?
Both require vertices in the same order and quads are rasterized as triangles anyway
1. GL_QUAD_STRIP only renders after 4 vertices and on even counts (no additional odd triangle)
2. GL_QUAD_STRIP will interpolate attributes (colours, textures and lighting) linearly
between 4 vertices. GL_TRIANGLE_STRIP renders completely separate triangles.
