Thanks for pitching in to the conversation.

@xeon I did try using other browsers such as Brave, Chrome, Edge and even Internet Explorer. All of them produce the same result. I did also sort out the red warning, it was related to a Firefox extension that is unrelated. I have disabled the extension, but no changes have occurred by doing that, other than that warning no longer being there.

@Crunch I thought this too, but tit doesn’t explain why some older projects do load puzzles with previews, and I still get this result when making a default new app, without changing anything in the blend file.

I did also mention that I am using 4.0.1 because I wasn’t in a position to renew when the time came up for my renewal.

Looking for some official word from the Verge3D staff to give some clarity.

Sorry I forgot to check back on this. This screenshot shows the console errors. I am not sure what to make of it, if you have any suggestion, it would be much appreciated.

Xeon That’s a very nice example. Is there some way you could share the puzzle configuration? Perhaps a screenshot of at least the puzzles used for the time rotation.

This would be very helpful and much appreciated.

I had to take some time away from this for a while, but I recently came back to it, trying to get the time working correctly.

I tried using the example provided by alexopatin, though I seemed to have some issues with it. I recreated his puzzle setup as best I could, but I am unsure about the first puzzle inside each ‘do something’ container. It looks like it is just text, (in Russian, which I cannot read), but I see the puzzle comes from the “Advanced” section. It makes me wonder if the puzzle is related to javascript?

So the attached picture is the setup I feel is best so far:

It seems to work well most of the time, but it also seems to be incorrect at specific points in the 12 hour cycle. I have noticed that the hour hand jumps an hour ahead, when it passes the 12:00 mark. Also the time seemed correct when I was previewing it locally, then when I published it on the Verge3D network, it jumped an hour. I am still unsure if this is simply due to the cache in my browser, because later I looked at the Verge3D network link on my phone, and it seemed to be showing the correct time.

My concern is that I am providing this example to show potential clients, etc. I need confidence that no matter when they view it, it will be accurate to the actual time. And if I leave it running, it should not over time, become inaccurate.

Here is a link to the current published setup:

I can provide the application data, but would prefer to send it though a private message. Thank you again.

I found this bug report on developer.blender.org:

T88678

It seems to be related, but in releases before 2.93, I only noticed this behavior once I started working and test a scene/file in Verge3D.

So I have tried many times to get Morph Factor to work; and have never succeeded. I am desperate, and need help; as I will need to wrap this up for a presentation in a week or two. The app will need to accomplish 3 things:

1) all the pieces of the wall will be part of an exploded view animation; which only happens when the “Arrow Out” object is clicked.

2) No matter what state that animation is in (exploded or not), several the pieces of the wall need to move based on inputs from clicking on the ‘ARROW UP’ & ‘ARROW DOWN’ which are visible to the side of the wall. *This works.

3) The Panels that appear to be the exterior covers of the wall, (‘[FRT] APPLIQUE’ and ‘[BAK] APPLIQUE’); must change shape using a Morph Factor. They need to adjust to the changing height of the other parts, in the same 6 inch increments. Overall the arrows should never allow the wall to go beyond 11 feet tall, or below 8 feet tall. Also, the Morph Factor parts, also need to not skew or distort the UV texture maps when using the Morph Factor.

I am not entirely sure if all these things are possible. I would appreciate if someone could clarify if I am attempting anything that ultimately is not possible at this time. And if so, exactly which part.

I am providing a link to a simplified version of my file, so that you can hopefully see what may be causing the Morph Factor to not work properly.
