Answer 1

I tested this code and it didn't throw exception:
try{
            //HERE IS MY INPUTSTREAM VERSION
            InputStream is = this.getClass().getResourceAsStream("/pogoroo.m3g");
            byte[] objectBytes = new byte[is.available()];
            is.read(objectBytes);
            Object3D[] o3D = Loader.load(objectBytes,0);
            //HERE IS THE STANDARD LOADER VERSION
            Object3D[] o3D2 = Loader.load("/pogoroo.m3g");
        }catch(Exception e){
            System.out.println(e);
        }You can see, I tried the Loader.load("/pogoroo.m3g"); and it works perfect. Check your M3G file's extension (maybe this is .M3G, .m3g, .M3g or something), because if the file doesn't exist, the "standard" version throws java.io.IOException: no ':' in URL, the InputStream version throws NullPointerException.
