Hi,
I have a configurator working well using and changing/swapping gltf’s and textures from the parent doc as needed. Problem is on the texture side, they are seamless tiles that vary greatly in size and aspect ratio if keeping to a single repeat for a minimal file size (but they are the same dpi). What is the best way to control the scaling so that, for example,the smaller textures aren’t stretched out, and the larger compressed and/ or distored.
The solution likely starts with the material puzzle for the dimensions, and a calculation can be done on the server side, but not sure how to get it back to verge and scale in a manner like you might with the vector mapping node in blender.
Thoughts? and thanks in advance.

(ps could of course already have the scaling values ready (from the server) on selection of a given texture, but still not sure how to affect it in verge).

You can add a mapping node with a value node this way and change value with Set Value puzzle.

Can I add a related question?
In Blender with evee, things are quite sharp, but once in verge, the textures blur a lot over distance. not using shadows, and really simple lighting and settings. any thoughts as to how to get less blurry halo?
attached are two snips, one from a blender evee window, and the other from verge in the browser.
thanks again :)

You need to turn on Anisotropic Filtering in the image settings. You can find the solution in this video.

Thanks for the tip and video link Mikhail – worked great. think i’ve got the scaling with the value thing figured out too, though not fully implemented.
but thanks in advance. :)

Hi again,
Just noticed that once I have added the nodes you suggested, the exported gltf does not render in ios/ipad. I have shadows disabled, so it’s not that. Any clues as to what needs to be disabled??
Many thanks.

can you share some screenshots of the app, better with a console or better just upload your app somewhere and sahre the link.

Thanks for the quick reply.
Is there an email address I can share screen shots of app w/console?
thanks again.

Hi Mikhail,
B2B app won’t work without login, and would take some explaining to get to the verge part. So here is a screneshot of the console, but don’t think there is much to learn there from a windows screen vs ios. In ios, the primary background scene loads, but none of the assets/ other gltf’s. I had this problem once before on the ipad, and it mysteriously went away, but now back :-/

Also, on the texture scaling question, I have this puzzle that works if I put a constant for the set value to part, or send value from database, but I wanted to derive the width from the external jpg and calculate the scaling factor based on the difference to the original/stock texture as attached. Is this possible, or what am I doing wrong to get the mat1 width and make the calc vs the 512 original.

As well, even with a constant, it works on mat1, but not on 2 or3 etc. The xy “value” can’t be made unique in blender, or verge doesn’t see if I change the title of the value, so do you have a suggestion.

Thanks very much for your kind attention.

Unfortunally there’s no image attached, may be you can upload your application to verge3d network and share a link here.

There’s no way to do this using puzzles I think you need to use JavaScript for thet, but better to post this question separately in Programming forum to get help.

As I undestand right you just need to make all materials unique to set independent x and y scale for them.

Hi Mikhail,
Regarding the gltf’s not rendering in ios, after hours of hunting, found that one obscure object that repeated in all of my files did not have a normal mapping node, and that alone kept anything in that gltf from rendering in v3d. So problem solved
Thanks.
