Hi Marcus. I’m glad to hear you found my posts helpful. I hope your presentation goes well. Good luck. – Patrick

Yes. If you are using Blender, place your camera in your scene where you want it to start. Then, with your camera selected, select the “Object Data Properties” tab. (If you are using Blender v2.8 it looks like a Movie Camera Icon.) Then look for the “Verge3D Settings” drop down option. Expand that, and change the “Controls:” setting from “Orbit” to “First-Person” (See attached reference image). This should allow you to do exactly what you are describing. Then, when you open your project in Verge3D, by default you can look and move around your 3D space just like you would in a first-person-shooter type video game using the mouse to look around, and using the W, A, S, and D keys on your keyboard for directional movement within the 3D space. You can even add collision materials to your walls so that you can’t walk through them. However, if you want to have a first-person camera that can look in all directions, but doesn’t allow any directional movement like forward or backward, or prevent zooming out with the mouse wheel, then that gets more complicated, but is definitely possible using just puzzles in Verge3D. I have done this multiple times for the interior of buildings and aircraft, and would be happy to help you out more if needed… for money ;)

Hi Kani,

I’m just a Verge3D user like yourself, but I also had a need to change the texture of a object with a single button like you are describing. See the attached image to the set up that I came up with.

Note: There are two “when clicked” actions for the same button. The first “when clicked” action changes the texture on the object (in my case the color of an airplane), and the second “when clicked” action changes the texture used on the button itself. In my case the button changes from saying Texture 1, to saying Texture 2 – then switches back to Texture 1 if clicked again, and so forth. This second action is entirely optional. I hope it’s not too confusing, but it works for me. – Patrick

Thank you for the reply. I know you must be extremely busy, and I really appreciate all the help.

One issue I noticed with the work around I came up with is that once a block passes over the edge of the plane, it is unable to fall below the established minimum z-value, and the block is left floating in the air instead of falling off in a downward direction.

Thanks again for the help. I’ll try to see if I can interpret the code in the link you provided.

Thanks Yuri. Applying the scale worked! However, what I would like to do now is to click and drag each block, and then drop them or stack them. The “when dragged over > drag move” puzzle function no longer works with the physics included. Is there a simple work around for this that I’m missing? I’ve attached a basic image of the puzzle that isn’t working the way I thought it would. Thanks!
