I’m not sure what am I doing wrong, but I’ve attached a screenshot to my version of the app.
The URL can be opened on the web browser so I believe it is accessible.
Here’s the url:
https://xmotion.studio/wp-content/factory.csv
when I tried to trouble shoot, I found some errors. I’ve attached the screenshot as well.
I tried to upload it to v3d network and the same error appears! it seems that this csv file has to be on the same server or domain name.

Update: when I uploaded the files to my website, and the csv file is also uploaded to my website but with another path, it works but it does not update in real time when you overwrite the file. It responds to that change after a minute or a bit less which is ineffective in case of a digital twin.
I’m happy to hear anyone with a possible solution though.

Hey
I saw this thread a bit late.
It was festival vacation and I resumed back just 2 days back
This has always been my play area and I am hard core into Ind. 4.0 & IoT field where I tried to utilize the Verge 3D at many places.
About digital twin application here is a screenshot of a virtual factory layout we had created as 3D asset & later tried implementing some data fetch from server to specific location where puzzle setup can read it and accordingly the behavior can change in 3D scene after refresh or restart.
We also made a trial successful during the robot virtual training learning module where the value is read from xml or txt or csv file and depending upon the value ( example – 0 or 1) the object behavior changes in verge published scene. This xml / txt/cxv would be updated by the application linked with the machine or device based on the sensor data collection.
Its glad to see that someone here is thinking of virtual 3Dfactory level digital twin with verge 3D capabilities. perhaps this side is too potential for verge 3D to become a production grade powerful industrial digital twin maker.

Thank you for commenting! This is very similar to what I need to do, but instead of restarting or refreshing the app, I hope it could be a real time change.
As I said earlier, I created a very simple test and a csv file in the app folder, I was able to parse the csv file and some animations responds to the data within the csv file, also whenever I overwrite the file. The animations change accordingly as I used on every frame puzzle.

Can you please walk me through what should I do to achieve that through puzzles?
BTW, I’ve uploaded a very simple verge 3D app folder on google drive and posted it here earlier in this thread. I’m not sure if you have the time to test with it, but I’ll be grateful if you do!

Thanks again for your comment!

I understand the concept and how it should work, I just need to know the technicality from the verge3D side.
I have managed to read a CSV file and created a few animations that respond to those data.

The “Load data” puzzle usually uses a file within the application folder, if I used a URL it cannot load the file.
I just need to know the possibility to read that CSV file from a URL. This will solve my issue and I can then worry about how I could update this file so the app can respond accordingly in real time. (it does when I replace the file locally).

Amazing! thank you.
I have managed to do it with a local .CSV file. However, if I needed it to run live, the file has to be updated periodically so it has to be hosted online.
I tried to host it on my website, then used the load data puzzle but it didn’t work, after trouble shooting it gave me an error related to (CORS). I think this means I cannot load another file hosted on another website.
Is there a workaround?
The best solution I can imagine is hosting the CSV file on google sheets for example, then somehow link the app to fetch the file from google sheets. Is that possible?

Yes, I did. I’ve also tried to play and pause the video just after the app is loaded (with user input at the start of the app), and it didn’t make a difference.
I’ve tried it with an iphone 15 pro max, an iphone 13 pro max. the .mov format fixed the issue on both.

Thanks for the reply Alex!
It is installed, otherwise it will not be visible in 3ds max like the screenshot. Unless you mean something else.
BTW this happens on any other font that is not installed by default on windows, I tried my laptop and installed another font and created a new scene and the same happens. The only work around would be renaming my desired font to “liberation_sans.woff” and pasting it into the project folder, it works fine this way, which is actually not ideal as I would have to do that every time I export from max.
