shaders and animations

[elhoce]

Hi,

I have a problem with shaders,  my model don't move (bones animation) when I activate a shader

my code

GLSLShader shader = new GLSLShader(Loader.loadTextFile("./vertexshader_body.glsl"),Loader.loadTextFile("./fragmentshader_body.glsl"));
        for (Animated3D o : animatedGroup) {
            o.getName();
            o.setTexture("corps");
            o.setRenderHook(shader);
            o.compile();
            o.build();
            o.discardMeshData();
        }

if I comment o.compile() my model moves but without shader 

Can you please tell me why ?

Thanks

Replace o.compile() vy o.compile(true); and add a call to Object3D.touch() right after calling the animation method.

Thanks now it works fine !

I have another question, I have a model composed of several parts,  How can I disable the normal auto computing during the loading model ?
I have already comment the Object.build() call.

Thanks

Why do you want to do this? Without normals, no lighting will work properly.

[elhoce]

because my file already contains precalculated normal data, and because my model looks bad between the parts in jpct

[EgonOlsen]

jPCT doesn't load normal data from the file. It fully relies on its own calculations. What's the problem "between the parts" (screen shot)?

[elhoce]

the problem is I see the edge of each part, so I think the normals must be calculated on the whole model not in each part (part == one object3D)

[EgonOlsen]

And it's not an option to merge these parts into one Object3D?

[elhoce]

Yes I can, How can I merge them in jpct ?

[EgonOlsen]

By either using this

or this

Edit: Maybe the first link doesn't work as it should...the bloody forum software can't handle brackets inside others.
