Shadows with imported evolver Avatars

Troubleshooting effects
1

If I generate a basic shape or use a avatar that comes with jme3 (like the green ninja), there are no issues with it casting shadows.

If I import a separate avatar and make it cast a shadow, it crashes in compiling.



This is the block of code where I assign shadows

[java] rootNode.setShadowMode(ShadowMode.Off);

BasicShadowRenderer bsr = new BasicShadowRenderer(assetManager, 512);

bsr.setDirection(new Vector3f(-1, -1, -1).normalizeLocal());

terrain.getTerrain().setShadowMode(ShadowMode.Receive);

viewPort.addProcessor(bsr);

warren.setShadowMode(ShadowMode.Cast);

[/java]



If I comment out the last line, telling the model to actually cast a shadow, everything runs fine (sans shadows)

The avatars I’m using were made from that free evolver site (evolver.com)

Anyone have ideas?

Thanks

It crashes in compiling? Don’t you mean it crashes at run time?

you need to post the exception.

do a testcase, propably you have a nullpointer exception
