Shader error and Identity Matrix

Hi. I have a simple shader line gl_Position = u_MVPMatrix *(u_InverseBindMatrix) *(a_Position); I have u_inversebindmatrix set to Identity matrix using Matrix.setidentityM(); If I render without the line *u_InverseBindMatrix, then my cube shows up. If I leave it in, however, nothing shows up. I thought the identity matrix left equations unchanged. Any ideas?

You might want to consider that you’re not setting the matrix properly. Of course, we can’t actually know that since you didn’t show us your code…

This is the shader and the draw code.

it wont let me post the full code for some reason. Maybe there is a forbidden word somewhere in it.

Of course you can multiply by an Identity matrix. Thep roblem was that my handle was looking for a variable in the shader that wasn’t there. Took me 2 weeks to find that error, wow. I see why no one could help me who would look at this crap code and catch that. Thanks for the views anyway.
