Another update: added scaling on both axis.
The issue: scaling is done towards the 0,0 UV, in other words to the bottom left corner of the texture before it is scaled.
The goal: to scale on the center of the texture after it is scaled.
The solution: some clever use of math nodes (attached image).
Don’t ask me to explain why that exact math. This was the video that prompted me in the right direction (but they could only scale and not adjust the location): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ddXGIilaFIc
I figured out how to move the entire texture that I previously centered and scaled where I wanted in Blender.
Few lines of script and some multipliers to control the speed in relation to the pixel moved/screen resolution.
Moving on to scale and rotation now but wanted to post my progress as I noticed people rarely post their solutions on these forums, which is a shame.
I know about that one, but you have to interact with the canvas instead of the 3D model. I also contacted them and asked if that’s something they plan to add in the future and it doesn’t look like it unfortunately.
There is also one issue which I have run into with that and the other plugin that I bought. When you scale it down for the purpose that I need it for (logos), this happens. The actual logo occupies just a tiny piece of the canvas and gets terribly pixelated. Using larger resolution is not acceptable solution because it makes everything lag horridly.
So what I am trying to do is have the initial texture occupy a smaller place on the UV and then 1k canvas is enough because it is tiny to start with in relation to the UV.
great work!
Thank you.
Hey thats lovely work.
I just mentioned that V3D should be applied in more serious product ranges beyond just small thing & here it is!
I noticed when I clicked on frame configurator option camera animation took place and frame also changed it looked like some jerk to me initially.
A little suggestion,
Just give some delay to camera animation after clicking OR put camera animation after frame appears. like example – “when finished do”
My view as a raw end user what I felt.rest is awesome !
The actual frame switching happens after the camera changes (using when finished do).
What’s causing those jerks on frame switching (if we are thinking about the same thing) is that the woocommerce puzzle doesn’t let you switch from one to the other option by force (at least that I found, if anyone knows of a way please let me know).
Which is needed when the user switches frame, but the existing weight configuration option on that frame doesn’t exist on the new frame. So it needs to switch to a “default option” for the new frame.
At first I wanted to solve that within the UI, but the person doing the UI couldn’t quite understand what I needed so I had to simulate a button click on the default weight configuration for the clicked frame by writing some script, which causes some issues I could not resolve, especially if the frames are switched a few times in rapid succession.
Later they continued to develop the UI after everything was done and I think they glitched it even more but at that point I already finished my part of the project and was just checking in from time to time.
In the state it’s currently in I’m not even sure its showable as a portfolio piece, I might create my own UI and keep it off woocommerce and on Verge3D network. I’m thinking of doing minimalist UI, by showing only options to chose from after the user clicks on a specific piece.
Outstanding job! Very well done. Might I suggest to include highlighting the elements on the model when you hover over the UI elements. For instance when you rollover the the ‘pull up bar’ options. So the user can see where they are located and where the change will happen.
Thank you. Yeah, we had a version with highlighting and annotations (I even later added some fancy camera switches to maximize the annotation visibility), but client didn’t follow through with it, so it didn’t end up in the final version.
