Hi,
tried searching on this but didnt find.
Downloaded and opened my scene in 2.8 (made in 2.79b) and looks perfect in eevee.
I set the preference directory and enabled verge3d addon.
Restarted blender 2.8 twice.
When I hit sneak peek, I get this error below in console.
Any help much appreciated. Maybe I’m using wrong version or I missed some setup step??
I’m stuck.

location: H:\blender-2.8\2.80\scripts\modules\bpy\ops.py:200

Hi,

We fixed this issue in 2.9.1. Can you please give it a try?

I’ve also tested 2.8 and the textures changed. The 2.8 materials system seems to be different from 2.79. I’ve opened my file and a model with an image texture in 2.79 got white in 2.8. I’m started to get used to it because it seems more logical than 2.79 version (as anything else in 2.8).
The strangest thing is that I have a rock texture and, even with all settings to zero despite the color texture as image, strange white reflections appear in the sneak peak as if the model had specular on.

PS: Finally got it. The surface must be Difuse BSDF instead of the default “Principled BSDF”

Ok I uninstalled and removed blender 2.8 totally, icluding in /AppData/Roaming… etc.

reinstalled blender and new verge 2.9.1 just downloaded.

All working no crashes now, but the lighting seems not to even close match up to EEVEE render viewport. Here’s comparison:

Sorry if I missed something obvious. Everything is default and just basic diffuse mats.
The light is a point light with energy 4.0 and radius 0.2

Sorry Yuri. Just saw your message now. It’s solved. I did a Post Scriptum in my last message :)

Verge 3D 2.9.1 it’s working flawlessly in Blender 2.8. We just have to tweak a few things in the materials. Considering the prototype stage of some of my projects, I’m considering seriously to use only Blender 2.8 from now on. It’s stable enough and it’s A LOT more logical than version 2.79, mainly the user interface. From someone that came from Maya or Cinema 4D (or almost any other 3D package beyond Lightwave), Blender 2.8 is a lot more easier to use than the last version. I have experience in lots of 3D packages and I’m one of those that needed to use youtube to know how to select an object in Blender the first time I’ve used it for instance!! :) :)

Hi sorry for delay tried many other things, new graphics card 1080 Ti, still same problem. Doesn’t look anything like eevee preview, currently not useable – too far off.

Here’s my blend file the pword is mgonverge023

Hi tcdoe. I’ll try to open your file later. In my case the experiencing is exactly the opposite. I’m using a macPro with two external Nv 1080 ti and CUDA and both in cycles and evee the experience is awesome. Maybe there’s some option activated there that makes evee in blender look so different from verge 3D final result. In my case I’ve fine tuned everything so things could look similar and they really do. I hope you nail the problem .

Thanks. I really wish I could figure this out. Probably something stupid.

No 2.8 for me yet.

I figured it out, it’s an old engines bug because of scaled camera, just alt+s on camera and if you want just to have big icon of the camera use Viewport Display+>Size in the camera settings.
