    I followed this tutorial at 1:39 – 1:55. Unfortunately, it didn’t show up in sneak peak?

    Also, if I do successfully upload it to verge3d, can I use it for animation puzzles (e.g., hide/show/pause animation at certain (time) frame), and can I even apply color effects to it (e.g., red or white flashes)? Do I need the original objects/meshes/geometry as well, for the instance group to be uploaded to verge3d?

    Must work, can you share the example blend file?

    Yes you can, but color changes will apply to all instances.

    Yes you ned to keep original mesh\geometry\object on a scene.

    Here is my file

    Unfortunately, when I view this in sneak peak:

    When I hide the original objects:

    It only seems to work in Blender? How do I get the instance to work in verge3d as it does in Blender? Thanks

    The original objects and their instanced copies are exported. You just don’t see them behind the mess.

    The reason of this mess is either in wrong objects’ scales (scales should be reset to 1 ) or in the fact that those scales are animated (what for?).

    One more thing to know: objects in instanced collections have no animations. Actually, they are useless…

    True. So instancing only works for non-animated objects like pillars, trees, blocks, etc?

    Instancing of collections? Yes, it makes sense to use it only with static objects if exporting to Verge3D. But individual instanced objects (Alt+D) are exported with animations.

    Makes sense. So those individual instanced objects (spawned with Alt + D) can be altered via puzzles too, right? (e.g., hide objects, change material to emissive flashing)

    Btw, please answer my objects moving question here too?

    Taking into account this requirement

    I have nothing to answer. Controlled moving is a little complicated task for just puzzles.

    How did Farmer’s Journey do that player movement seamlessly then via puzzles?

    You’re looking but you ain’t seeing… The farmer doesn’t move. It stays at its initial position while the sphere rotates under the farmer’s legs. That’s an illusion of moving along the road.

    Oh, I see now. God Damn, I feel like an idiot :wacko:

    That said, what does this compute?

    That’s the incremental side moving. 0,1 meter per frame.

    I see. Why would it be incremental, when the moving seems to happen in one go?

    No. It happens in 10 small steps. One step per frame, 0.1 meter per step. The visible speed depends on the frame rate.
