Transforming model vertices after loading to vao [solved]

OpenGL Development

Greetings earthlings of JGO.
I’ve been i little stuck on this problem for a while now.
I want to know if there is there a way to transform the individual vertices of the model without needing to change the vertices array and then reload it to the vao. Also whenever i do a transformation it applies it to the whole model.
I am also aware that there might be a way to do this in the vertex shader.

vertices and indices:


// defines a triangle
private static float[] vertices = {
		-0.5f, 0.5f, 0, 
		-0.5f, -0.5f, 0, 
		0.5f,-0.5f, 0, 
	};
	private static int[] indices = {
		0,1,2
	};

and i load them to a vbo and vao, after which i load to shader, render etc.


private List<Integer> vaos = new ArrayList<Integer>();
	private List<Integer> vbos = new ArrayList<Integer>();

	public Shape loadToVao(float[] positions, int[] indices) {
		int vaoId = glGenVertexArrays();
		vaos.add(vaoId);
		glBindVertexArray(vaoId);

		bindIndicesBuffer(indices);
		dataInAttribList(0, positions);

		glBindVertexArray(0);
		return new Shape(vaoId, indices.length);
	}

	private void dataInAttribList(int attribNum, float[] d) {
		int vboId = glGenBuffers();
		vbos.add(vboId);
		glBindBuffer(GL_ARRAY_BUFFER, vboId);
		FloatBuffer b = BufferUtils.createFloatBuffer(d.length);
		b.put(d);
		b.flip();
		//GL_DYNAMIC_DRAW the vertices will change
		glBufferData(GL_ARRAY_BUFFER, b, GL_DYNAMIC_DRAW);
		glVertexAttribPointer(attribNum, 3, GL_FLOAT, false, 0, 0);
		glBindBuffer(GL_ARRAY_BUFFER, 0);
	}

	private void bindIndicesBuffer(int[] indices) {
		int vboID = glGenBuffers();
		vbos.add(vboID);
		glBindBuffer(GL_ELEMENT_ARRAY_BUFFER, vboID);
		IntBuffer b = BufferUtils.createIntBuffer(indices.length);
		b.put(indices);
		b.flip();
		glBufferData(GL_ELEMENT_ARRAY_BUFFER, b, GL_STATIC_DRAW);
 	}

also i want to note that i have seen this thread: http://www.java-gaming.org/topics/applying-transformations-to-vertices/34070/view.html
