Hi,
I have the paid for version of Verge3D but I cannot find out how to get rid of the Trial Watermark for a previous project.
Please can you explain how I do that and how to avoid it in future because (from memory) I reckon it has something to do with Updating the software (it resets to Trial maybe ?).
(sorry, I haven’t used Verge3D in a long time and I am having to relearn the whole creation process again ).
3DS Max 2020.1, Verge 3D version 3.2.
Thanks.

you should open up the App Manager and activate your Verge3D installation with your license key:

This will remove the watermark from all your apps.2020-07-18 at 9:35 am #30302jezukCustomerHi Yuri,
I appreciate your help :)
But I’ve already done that.
I created an app a while ago – I think back then it had the Trial Watermark, and then I purchased the software.
So I’ve tried recreating everything from the base 3DS Max file.
I did the Export GlTF, and have a bunch of files.
I then went into the App Manager and created the Puzzles, for which I have a couple of XML files.
I will ’embed’ this lot into the HTML my web developer created for me.
But is there anything further I need to do ?
I ask because I don’t see where the v3d.js file is created from ? I will check if this file is something my web developer created especially for me, but maybe before I find that out, you might be able to throw some light on this for me please ?
Many thanks.

I guess this is the reason. The App Manager only activates v3d.js in the application folder. If it was deployed on a remote server, it cannot touch it.
Can you post here the link to your app?
2020-07-18 at 11:51 am #30305jezukCustomerHi Yuri,
I fixed why I didn’t have a v3d.js file – it was because I didn’t create a ‘default’ App to get me started. So I never could get the default html file etc. Once I did that, I was able to generate those default files and now I have a fixed my issue of the Trial Watermark :)
However….. how can I quickly get rid of Trial Watermarks off of previously created projects ? I did see that there is some HTML code relating to the Trial Watermarks in the html file – if I delete that code, it doesn’t seem to have any effect, the Trial Watermark remains (I did try other browsers in case it was all being held in the Browser Cache) ?
Finally, I have one other problem…..
My product in my new 3.2 created Verge3D webgl starts off with a black material ?
This has been tested for even when I do a Sneak Peek ? It shows as a Black material as default. I’m wondering if there is something which has changed since 3.2 is installed that would cause this ?
Before there was no problem, now my product is black rather than being it’s actual colour.
You can see it here;

And this one was created using a previous version of Verge3D;
https://3dvisuals.co.uk/work/verge/ezj/0010-v04i.html (notice this one is correct, yet they are both the same 3DS Max Scene).
Many thanks :)

You can copy your project folder to verge3d/applications/ and activate with license key.

that’s strange – can you apply this material to a box and share the .max file here?
2020-07-18 at 7:04 pm #30316jezukCustomerHi Yuri,
I solved it (the material issue).
It was a very strange issue – I think the material must of gotten corrupted.
I’ll explain how I solved it.
I tried the material on just a box (by the way, my material is a multi/sub-object with around 12 materials, and the first one Mat ID 1 is the Paint, that was the material that was show as black to begin with for no apparent reason).
Just a box, and the Sneak Peak would show the box as black too (even though that Paint Material was an Off White).
So I tried just a new default Physical Material on it’s own on the box and that worked.
So I tried copying just Mat-ID 1 to this new default Physical Material, and it was black again….
So I copied the parameters one by one to the New Physical Material from the ‘corrupted’ MatID one, and that worked.
I then finally copied that New Physical Material back to the Multi-SubObject and it was working again…..
Strange but true!
Many thanks for your help – you nudged me to figuring it out!
2020-07-18 at 7:19 pm #30317jezukCustomerStill not working….. when I do the above, it is no longer black but my RAL Color Picker isn’t working…..
Something VERY VERY strange is going on…..
2020-07-19 at 4:20 am #30318Yuri KovelenovStaffbut my RAL Color Picker isn’t working…..
Please make sure the names of the controllers are the same as in the old material.

Yes, that’s what I thought, and I did check that. It is the same name – in fact I tried different ways of copying in that material so that the name didn’t even change. Still not working… :(

No errors via the F12 console.
Any other ideas please ?
Thanks :)
