each time i try and use skinHelper.getWHATEVER it returns null. the skin file is fine, i can check to see if the node exists, and it does, but still getting null exception, any thoughts?

never mind, i found the problem (was going nuts, but found the problem) the textstyle in the composite image/drawstring referred to an undefined textstyle.

dont you just hate it when its something so simple, but you miss it, and takes you hours to realize, dah!

The SkinHelper isnt very forgiving, but it usually gives an appropriate error message in GBPVR.exe.log. Anyway, glad to hear you got it working.
