Import animated model with normal maps

Troubleshooting import-assets
6

@Ali_RS Thanks for the hints.

Actually ogre is the only format which generates the tangents correctly. Using a custom defined material with the diffuse map and the normal map gives the correct results. What I have noticed from ogre exporter is that it would load only the first texture, so I exported only the normal map, using the custom material then helped to define both maps . The animations fail with an index out of bounds exception.

Error : Exception in Control, scene content removed.
java.lang.ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException: -4

xBuf loads the animations correctly, but the tangents are not correct. I am using the SDK beta 2 version. I am pretty sure I am using the 0.9.1 version of the exporter, the only use case that I can think of right now is that the loader of jme3.1 is not at the same version or that it has a problem with mirrored UV’s.

@jayfella The stacktrace :
