Instanced rendering with vertex vs. texture buffer (any practical difference?)
Post Body

I came across a few opengl examples that produce the same visual result:

https://github.com/progschj/OpenGL-Examples/blob/master/06instancing1.cpp

https://github.com/progschj/OpenGL-Examples/blob/master/06instancing2_buffer_texture.cpp

The first does instanced rendering with a vertex buffer, but the second uses a texture buffer. I usually see it done the former way; is there any benefit to using a texture buffer instead?
