Maybe I can combine the two then into one. I never bothered with shader based shadows in the desktop version. The android version of course uses them, but it uses shaders across the board anyway (because OpenGL ES has no fixed function pipeline anymore). But I never ported that over to the desktop.

The shadows look better. And it's meant to work like ShadowHelper.

Looks a lot like a shader based variant of the ShadowHelper to me. Is it supposed to work like that or is it something different?

I'd love for you to include this shader in jpct. This is an example of how to call it:
//In the game loop:
           shadows.setCenter(batman.model.get(0).getTransformedCenter());
           shadows.updateShadowMap(theWorld, buffer, camera);
//The setup:
    private void setupShadows() {
       shadows = new ShadowMapper(1024);
       shadows.setLightDirection(new SimpleVector(.2f, .4f, -.3f));

       shadows.setShadowArea(360f);//120f
       shadows.setShadowBias(0.00f);
       shadows.setShadowDarkness(0.50f);
       shadows.setCenter(batman.model.get(0).getTransformedCenter());

       // ALL visible objects must be casters
       for (Object3D part : batman.model)
           shadows.addCaster(part);
       shadows.addCaster(batman.cape);

       for (Object3D part : joker.model)
           shadows.addCaster(part);

       shadows.addCaster(catwoman);

       shadows.addCaster(batmobile.hull);
       shadows.addCaster(grappleTarget);

       shadows.addReceiver(ground);

       for (Object3D obj : cityObjects)
           shadows.addReceiver(obj);
    }


I hadn't seen this message. Please do. Then I'll show you what I just did (morph targets, lip-synching with speech synthesizing all offline, of course).

You can still access older versions by their version number. Like so: https://jpct.de/download/net/jpctapi_124.zip

Hello, I'm currently trying to access an older version of jPCT that supports JVM 1.3, since the latest version only supports JVM 1.4 at minimum. I would like to experiment with JVM 1.1-1.3 support for certain applications, and based on the version history, jPCT 1.24 seems to be the last to officially support JVM 1.1 before jPCT 1.25 made JVM 1.4 a mandatory requirement.

I would greatly appreciate any assistance in this area.

Didn't get to it over the holidays. I'll try to look at it later this month.

Yeah, that's a bit strange indeed.

I'll produce a simple test for you. But it's interesting that it doesn't happen on Intel, right?
