Release v3.8.1-stable · jMonkeyEngine/jmonkeyengine
This is a very small patch release to fix a crash that occurred when using Instancing with PBRLighting.j3md.
This bug managed to slide through the alpha and beta testing phase because all of JME’s instancing related tests used Lighting.j3md, and I also do not yet use instancing in my own projects so I didn’t catch this error in my own testing either. But this bug is now fixed, and a new test has been added to jme-examples that uses Instancing with PBR to resolve this previous blind spot in jme’s test/example library.
