Thanks for the quick answer Yuri

Also, is there a Get Value “some value” from material? I can’t seem to find it.

Hi Crunch, thanks for the detailed post. Much appreciated.

#1
My request was simpler in that we don’t need to setup Blender empties or Max Dummy objects for position and LookAt targets. If we had a Tween to Camera puzzle then it would tween to that camera taking Position, Rotation and FOV into account so the Blender side of WYSIWYG to Verge3D is much quicker with less scene clutter.

How you describe the camera’s is how I have been doing it already but thanks for writing it out for others who maybe wondering. One thing to note is that the Tween Puzzle will only take the LookAt’s transform the instant it runs rather than constantly so if your LookAt object is also animating then this will create undesired tween results. You can get around this by animating the camera in Blender rather than using a Tween Puzzle but the downside is that it locks view rotation while a camera is animating.

I like the way you use Init for creating buttons in the puzzle editor, that is neat and great for quick prototyping. However, anything more complex than buttons requires multiple tabs open (Puzzle + index) which I think is unnecessary when the puzzle editor could house the index.html page, maybe this could be optional. The raw gltf running to the side is only useful at the most basic of projects and I would rather have my index page there so it would be a case of “Save + F5” to test tweaks to parameters. Currently I have to Save + Switch Tab + F5, it might not seem much but it is an extra step and also means you have 2 x gltf running on a system unless you close the puzzle editor tab.

The fastest result would be for the runtime JS to be updated on save without having to reload the entire page but not sure that is even possible.

I can already see the need for a third monitor as it is with Code editor / Puzzle Editor / Index.html

#3 Yes you are correct, there is no property in the puzzle editor for this yet. You can do it by editing the visual_logic.js file and coding it manually but be aware this code will be overwritten each time you save in the puzzle editor.

You mentioned keeping notepad handy for the init template code.
Did you know you can select a puzzle code block and right click it and save the entire (connected) block to a category that appears in the side bar called “Library”, when you next open or start a new project you can just drop in your saved puzzle blocks or move them into new tabs for cleaning up big puzzles.

PS. Love the easter egg haha.

Regarding #1, the current puzzle is awkward to use if the LookAt object is currently animating its position, even if the Camera Tween To is still animating it only gets the LookAt position once rather than constantly while the camera tween is still animating.

Hi Yuri

Thanks for the reply. I will take a look at that now.
