Thank you, Yuri!

Really appreciate you and the team for everything you’re doing for the 3D creators out there, and for giving this specific point some time to think on – sounds like a tough problem.
Fingers crossed that you and the team will be able to find a solution – would be amazing!

Unfortunately, that kind of defeats the purpose of doing instances in the first place, as I’m animating transforms dynamically per instance. If I combined them into a single object, i’d have much more geometry data to deal with (likely another bottleneck w/ exponentially more triangles), and to get the animation effect I’m after, I’d have to do something like use thousands of bones (which I can do), but not sure how performant that solution would be.

If it just Verge3D that handles instancing like this, or webgl/three.js in general, I’m curious? If each instance was dynamically created in JS as an InstanceMesh, would that change anything, or same result?

And no – one directional light, no shadows. Only bloom and outline effect on a couple objects, (neither of which are the instances).

Thanks again Xeon, esp for going through the trouble of attempting to recreate the issue.

Tried it with a clean scene and simple cube just in case, but same issue when the cursor would leave the container in pressed state (made a gif, but unable to attach it so here’s a link link to gif maybe it’s a browser “feature” or a v3d bug? not sure).

That said though, testing for container dimensions in the logic as a work around is brilliant!
I’ll give that an attempt when I get the chance to do so and report back. Thank you for your great insights and ideas!

Thank you for your consideration, Alexander.

Yeah, looks challenging, ngl…something probably beyond what three.js enables on its own and into the webgl maths level?

It’d be huge and I’d be beyond grateful if you and the rest of the genius team were to attempt to get this implemented, and think it could unlock new levels of creative control in a lot of ways.
If there’s anything I can help with on the testing side, i.e. in Blender, plz do let me know.

Thanks again for your ongoing efforts in building this great product!

Not supported in V3D, or not supported with broadly in three.js/webgl?
Is it something that can be supported in a future release?

Thanks Xeon.

Good take about possibly skipping the iframe setup altogether. I saw initial value in abstracting the webpage UI, but it’s really not adding much, as I’m not using a no-code solution to build it.
Shouldn’t be too hard to consolidate things in to a single html and css file, and change a couple things in the JS file.

Re: the modal box: ya, tht could work. Thanks for the link!

That’s cool and all, but not sure it’s relevant to this specific topic. Thanks for sharing your input and work, though!

Uploaded a picture to help visualize.
We see four tracks on four different materials (the materials have keyframed value nodes and each material was assigned to the same object prior to gltf export, and split in Verge3D automatically as “material-generated mesh” objects), but all tracks are being controlled by the same animation clip/action.
Trying to find a way/the best way to control playback for each track independently through code (each track is meant to loop keyframe animation at different durations).

Any and all insights appreciated!
