I did. Same thing. Are you sure you gave me a vertex shader? Bear with me and my ignorance, but could you have given me the fragment shader instead?

No, it's a vertex shader. Any log messages when compiling the shader?

Looks fine...except that i don't see any message about calculating the tangent vectors... ???

It's a bit strange that the tangent vector calculation happens after object and shader compilation. Try to move it closer to the actual object creation instead. This looks like as if it happens right before rendering, which might be too late.

Still black. If I disable the shader, Batman looks right.

The tangent vectors are part of the Mesh instance. Any chance that somebody (Bones?) replaces this instance with some other? Can you load the model outside of Bones and see if that works?
Apart from that, one actually have to add some stuff to jPCT and Bones to allow proper handling of tangent vectors during an animation. But it may look good enough as it is now, so i would post-pone that step for now.

I'll make a test with Object3D now and report back. But don't you think that normal mapping is important enough to be considered a "standard" part of your engine? There should be a simple helper class for it, in my opinion.

That helper class would be either very limited or very complex, so i decided to leave it to the user for now. If everybody and his dog would be asking for direct support, i would consider it...but that's actually not the case. Only few people are explicitly using shaders and those who do, usually write their own.

I have two golden retrievers. I talked it over with them, and they seem to agree with me that such a helper class would indeed be useful.

I can't test the same model as OBJ, by the way, as the textures don't come out right and the model is exported with a different number of pieces. But can't you just assume I'm not doing anything wrong and that there's a better way to make that shader?

No, because the shader is fine. Just look at the shader in the example that is included in the zip. It should be the same thing line by line and it works fine. The only difference between your former and this one is, that this one takes the tangent vectors as an attribute. And the only problem that i can imagine in this context is that this attribute doesn't get filled correctly...most likely because the data needed for this just isn't there. Please try this jar...it also clones the tangent vectors if a mesh is being cloned. Maybe that will fix the problem: http://jpct.de/download/beta/jpct.jar

Raft says that Animated3D.getMesh() never returns null. I think I ran into a scenario in which it did, or I wouldn't have made that post:
