Why aren’t my Blender models showing up/reflected in the browser, as how they were showing in my Blender? How do I get my Blender models to show up in the browser, the exact way they were designed in Blender?
Also, unlike Blender, with a resolution of its monitor screen’s, why is the resolution grainy in this browser (Firefox browser)? Any way to make browser resolution match with that of the Blender’s?
2023-05-24 at 5:18 pm #64030xeonCustomerOk…lots of questions rolled into one.
In general…not everything you can do in Blender will work in V3D. In the case of “Bloom” you will have to turn that off in Blender, and then use the Bloom post-process effect puzzle in V3D.
Without having your blend file I would suggest reviewing your shader nodes for compatibility with V3D. This link will help: https://www.soft8soft.com/docs/manual/en/blender/Shader-Nodes-Reference.html
There are other settings in Blender, including color management that can affect the way EEVEE represents what you will see in V3D. However, EEVEE is only a close representation it is not exact, and the more complicated your shaders are the less likely EEVEE will give you a good representation of what it will look like in V3D. Emissive shaders are just one of those that you have to fine-tune bouncing back in forth between V3D and blender to get right.
Regarding graininess in FireFox. I would take a look at your V3D export settings and see if you are using compression on textures or perhaps you need to add anisotropic filtering see this video https://youtu.be/symQy5gEHdY?t=685
good luck

I did attempt that anisotropic filtering as per that video, but unfortunately, I don’t see that option. How do I find or enable it? Thanks.
Also, these are not textures, but materials. Will anisotropic filtering be applied to materials as well?
2023-05-25 at 4:56 am #64039xeonCustomerPerhaps, if you are willing you can share your blend file. Equally important can you show a screen shot of the issues you are having in firefox and do a side by side comparison to Chrome?
With respect to the Ansiotropic Filtering, it only applies if you are using an image map. You would select the texture node and make the adjustments. Since you are using a basic material any irregularities in rendering are more than likely blender settings in general.
Take a look at your Rendering Properties and evaluate the Color Management for your scene.
Your display device will more than likely be sRGB but your view Transform may need to be tweaked to fit your needs. Most will find that setting the View Transform to sRGB as well will help a lot.You may find the that under Render Properties > Verge3d settings > the antialias may need adjustment for your scene. In most cases auto will work nicely but in some situations fine tuning is required.
If you are using lights….try removing them from your scene and only lighting with and HDR environment map and see if you get a better result. If you do then put the lights back in if they are needed and adjust the Shadow filtering.
Just some ideas since I cant see what you are really having an issue with.

I have reviewed the blend file and there are a number of issues you may be encountering that are leading to some frustration.
The first is the misunderstanding that Blenders EEVEE Viewport Shading will look identical in Verge3d. It will be close..but not exact. Where this is most evident is in emission shaders and emission settings. You will want to be sure to disable “Bloom” in blender. This is not supported in Verge3d. The next thing you are going to want to do is to replace the Principled BSDF with an Emission shader. You can use the color in your BSDF emission in the Emission shader with a value of 3. In Blender, your lightning will look yellow/orange but once you get it into V3D it will be okay once you setup bloom. Note: Bloom in V3D has to be set up in the puzzle editor. SneakPeak will not display bloom. If you look at your object in SneakPeak it will not appear to be emissive.
Blender V3D settings – be sure that if you are using modifiers in your blender project that you check “bake modifiers”. Otherwise, those objects will be displayed in an unmodified shape.
Modeling – Use of displace modifiers is fine as long as you control the normals in your geo. In your case the model is displaced significantly such that many faces are inverted and will not be visible in your scene.
As you explore V3d..i would suggest you do not use Firefox…but use Chrome instead. Unless your specific application requires it. Firefox has such a low market share that web developers for the most part ignore it. See the following for reference: https://gs.statcounter.com/browser-market-share.
Hope this helps.

And it doesn’t support “KHR_parallel_shader_compile” extension. It compiles shaders much slower, without the multi-thread support.
Puzzles and JS coding. Fast and expensive.
If you don’t see the meaning in something it primarily means that you just don’t see it but not the absence of the meaning at all.
2023-05-28 at 6:56 pm #64134c4ccParticipantThanks for your tips, they all worked. While I agree with your recommendation about focusing on Google Chrome for Verge3d apps, I tested your tips on Firefox to see if the results was equal, and it sure is:
Edit: btw, what do you mean, “fixing the geo” in your screenshot?
2023-05-28 at 10:21 pm #64143xeonCustomerIn the screen shot you will notice red faces. These faces are marked red when their normals are pointing in a direction opposite the camera. Those faces do not render unless they are double side materials.
Imagine you have a scene with a default plane. This flat surface has two sides. But only one will render by default. You can test this out by creating a simple V3D project with a plane object and rotating the plane. At some point, while rotating the camera around the plane the camera will find the back side and the plane will appear as if it disappeared. You can visually verify which sides of a surface the normals face in Blender by turning on your Viewport Overlays for “Face Orientation”. I believe the default coloring is red for the back and blue for the front”.
In the screen shot I provided I have setup my preferences to always show faces with normals pointing away as red and normals that are facing to me to be default gray. So when I look at a model I can always tell if there are issues.
In your case the model you created was made from plane objects and then displaced. The model. If I recall there was also some use of solidify but the display modifiers strenght was so large it cause the model to penetrate itself causing the inside of the model to be shown on the outside. In the screen shot I took your model and just moved some of the parts around to see just how many models were affected.
Fixing the geo (short for geometry) is subjective based on your needs. However, if you don’t need the reversed faces, then why not delete the polys and improve performance? If performance is of no concern and it looks the way you want then there is no need to fix the geo. On the other hand, if this is going to be part of a larger scene then you will want go through the objects and make sure you either delete or flip faces so that they are visible in the V3d render. You can uses double sided materials but this will have a lot of inefficiency since your object would then be trying to render faces that are hidden. So the most efficient method would be to fix the geo.
Method 1: hand flipping faces normals and deleting unwanted faces.
Method 2: rebuilding or recreate the geo so it doesn’t create flipped normals.
Method 3: double-sided render the material/faces
Method 4: do nothing because the result is fine and there are no performance issues.Xeon

1. be sure the square and the lightening object share the same material
2.validate your monitor is using an SRGB color space. You will find these in your monitor calibration and settings.
3. make sure blender color management is set sRGB.
then the numbers I provided for the material and puzzle should yield similar results.However, if you rather skip that, you can increase your emission value in the shader and tweak the bloom settings in the puzzles and I am sure you will reach similar results.
