Okay, I’ve learned that emailing for such support is for Enterprise customers only, so attached here is the scene;

Okay, I have sent the files to info@ and yuri@ (I couldn’t find any email on your website for support), it is 10Mb big (one exr file I didn’t include because it was too big and so the email got rejected first time, but I don’t think you need it anyway).

Many thanks.

Mihkail,

I want to send in an email with this scene.

Please can you provide me with your email address.

Thank you.

Hi Mikhail,

It is a VERY simple scene, one piece of architrave / skirting and I’ve now added a few teapots into the scene (to help diagnose what’s happening).

All my objects will come out completely unilluminated (100% black) if I do NOT have a Environment Map as a light source (and have these photometric lights only).

I have 6 Photometric lights in my scene (again, I’m just testing….), and had to put very high intensity values to illuminate my scene, and yes they are visible in the Sneak Peak….but NOT when Exporting (if I add an environment map, they are not visible in the reflections).

Also, with my 5 teapots surrounding my simple piece of Physical material (glossy paint), you do not see them in the reflections. I changed the wood material to polished gold and you still cannot see the teapots in the reflections……

And finally…..

The export settings – AO, Shadows, they do nothing at all for me. How are these settings meant to be used ?

Again, AO and Shadows, these work in the Sneak Peak, but NOT when I export them.

Frustrated :(

Verge3d for 3ds max errors when exporting

Quoting Jamie “Also,3ds max photometric light and shadows doesn’t work when exported to verge3d.”….

I have this exact same problem.

Does this actually work?

I have a simple (like this scene cannot be any simpler, a simple one piece of wood profile, extruded).

It seems to me that Verge3D only works for an Environment Map type lighting.

I cannot get photometric lighting to work when exported to verge3D.

What am I missing here?

I have just three photometric lights, and nothing in the environment map slot. (is an environment map obligatory?).

When I export my scene and upload, my object is in total darkness.

There is nothing written in the manual to say if there are any special settings needed for photometric lights.

(in case you’re wondering, if I do add an enviroment map, then I get environment lighting only, no photometric lighting).

Can someone please help me?

Jamie, did you find your solution?

Many thanks to you all :)

Hi Xeon,

And thank you for such an indepth response – I really appreciate the time you’ve taken to do that.

I’m a beginner here.. and whilst I can / do understand your response, I’m new to texture baking.

Does AO and shadows have to be baked into the textures?

How do I do that?

I can/do look at the Verge3D manuals but I see nothing about that.

I’m guessing at this stage, that that’s the issue here, I’m not baking these into the shaders….

Just wanted to thank you again Vern, for your suggestion late yesterday, regarding using the names of the objects, that worked *perfectly* for me and now I have a really robust puzzle that is only a few lines long (with no if/then/else/dos at all) and it will solve 100’s or 1000’s of products, no problem with no further tweaking necessary!

So, many, many thanks to you . If it wasn’t for your suggestion, my playing with Verge3D would probably have gotten shelved yet again, for yet another year.

Cheers

Actually, I solved my puzzle with a really nice solution, without deep nested If/then/else, so I’m all good.

Okay, I solved it :)

I used the Get Prop from elem “get event property ‘target.value'” :)

Yay :)

Hi Vern,

Yes, I saw your post, thank you so much.

I’m going to give that a try tomorrow :)

I’ll let you know how I get on :)

Once again, thanks for all your help – it was very much appreciated.

Oh man, I was soooo looking forward to using Procedural Wood in 3DS Max for my Verge3D project :(

Hi Vern,

You don’t know how much I appreciate your help :)

My objects are logically named, so for example;

001_01
001_02
001_03

Etc etc.

Unfortunately, because Verge3D doesn’t support Multi/Sub-Object materials, and each of my objects has 2 materials, I have had to break the (very simple) mesh for each object so that there are ‘end’ meshes.

So…. I mean, that for 001_01, there is a corresponding 001_01_Ends, 001_02 (an 001_02_Ends) etc etc.

If Verge3D supported Multi/Sub-Object materials, life would be sooooooooooo much easier :)

Also, I have a switch in my interface which I’d like users to be allowed to swap materials to see what the object looks like in other finishes. I’ve managed to do this, but I reckon, once I learn of your more efficient way of coding this, I’m kind of hopeful that I’ll also be able to apply the same kind of coding approach to that area as well :)

Many thanks for your help :)

You’re a star Vern.

There’s only one ‘big’ problem……

With a 100 coded products, this will get very unwieldy…..

To do that, I’ll need a ultra nested If, Then, Else statement (been there before with Excel, I know this won’t work because it’s very, very easy to make a mistake and incredibly difficult to debug, I’ve been there……).

The solution is that software needs a Select statement in the Logic section of Puzzles.

If I’ve got a 100 codes, and it can only be any one of these 100 codes, I just want a ‘Select’ statement so that I can test;

Select (‘Profile’);
When (“200”) do this….
When (“203”) do this…..
etc
etc
End Select;
….

I’ve seen these in other packages, like I say, Excel, is very clunky because of this….

Dang!

We typed at the same time Vern, so I’ve changed it to input :)

Many, many thanks, I’m sooooo chuffed that this is working! (thanks to you!)

I’ve put my If test into an “On Event of” and selected the “mouseleave”……

Seems to be working :)

Yay!
