  - BoneIndex
```
public static final VertexBuffer.Type BoneIndex
```

  - HWBoneWeight
```
public static final VertexBuffer.Type HWBoneWeight
```
    Bone weights, used with animation (4 floats). for Hardware Skinning only
  - HWBoneIndex
```
public static final VertexBuffer.Type HWBoneIndex
```
    Bone indices, used with animation (4 ubytes). for Hardware Skinning only either an int or float buffer due to shader attribute types restrictions.
  - InstanceData
```
public static final VertexBuffer.Type InstanceData
```
    Information about this instance. Format should be VertexBuffer.Format.Float and number of components should be 16.
  - MorphTarget0
```
public static final VertexBuffer.Type MorphTarget0
```
    Morph animations targets. Supports up tp 14 morph target buffers at the same time Limited due to the limited number of attributes you can bind to a vertex shader usually 16
    MorphTarget buffers are either POSITION, NORMAL or TANGENT buffers. So we can support up to 14 simultaneous POSITION targets 7 simultaneous POSITION and NORMAL targets 4 simultaneous POSTION, NORMAL and TANGENT targets.
    Note that the MorphControl will find how many buffers can be supported for each mesh/material combination. Note that all buffers have 3 components (Vector3f) even the Tangent buffer that does not contain the w (handedness) component that will not be interpolated for morph animation.
    Note that those buffers contain the difference between the base buffer (POSITION, NORMAL or TANGENT) and the target value So that you can interpolate with a MADD operation in the vertex shader position = weight * diffPosition + basePosition;

public static VertexBuffer.Type[] values()
```
    Returns an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared. This method may be used to iterate over the constants as follows:
```
for (VertexBuffer.Type c : VertexBuffer.Type.values())
    System.out.println(c);

    an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared
  - valueOf
```
public static VertexBuffer.Type valueOf(java.lang.String name)
```
    Returns the enum constant of this type with the specified name. The string must match exactly an identifier used to declare an enum constant in this type. (Extraneous whitespace characters are not permitted.)
    
    Parameters:
    
    name - the name of the enum constant to be returned.
    
    Returns:
