Here is another bundle with features that we are preparing for Verge3D 3.1:

Puzzles

A new puzzle, clone animation, is available. With this puzzle you can cut out a piece of animation from a longer track, and use it as a new animation clip (typical case is character animation).

A new puzzle, stop sound, is available. Not only it stops playback, but also rewinds the sound to the start.

Applying materials from a non-skinned object to a skinned one now works with puzzles.

We fixed various smaller bugs in Puzzles, which were found by an automatic code checker.

Physics

The angular factor and linear factor options are available in the apply vector physics puzzle. Using these new options, you can limit the movement of physics bodies along a certain axis by supplying zero to it.

Possible use cases include various whirligigs and swings, but you can also use this puzzle to implement a physical character.

Kinematic and ghost meshes are now supported in addition to the previously available dynamic and static meshes.

The physics engine runtime ammo.js has been updated for the latest version, which comes with performance and stability improvements.

Blender-specific

We fixed rare crashes in Blender materials that used some combinations of nodes (such as Principled BSDF with Clear Coat input used).

Max-specific

The recently released 3ds Max 2021, in which Autodesk introduced lots of incompatibilities with the older versions, now works with Verge3D. We had to add many adjustments to the Max plug-in. Particularly, both Python 2 and Python 3 are now used. The upgraded plug-in now works on top of pymxs (Python bindings for Maxscript).

We also dropped 3ds Max 2017 which is no longer available for download from Autodesk website.

Maya-specific

The small yet amusing game Farmer’s Journey is available. Check out the source files in your Verge3D for Maya distribution.

The simplistic Physics demo is also available for the Maya version.

Verge3D now better represents Maya transforms thanks to the properly supported object pivots. We also fixed some bugs related to Euler angles.

React / Vue

Verge3D can now be more easily integrated with React.js and Vue.js applications thanks to newly introduced application templates. See this guide for more details.

Bugs

We fixed a rare issue related to non-node-based materials.

We fixed the bug when objects parented to VR controllers disappeared after being outside the camera view for a certain period of time.

We fixed several bugs reported in these forum topics:

SecurityError: The operation is insecure.

“dict check key” TypeError

Verge3D 3.1 pre1 available!

This is exciting. I especially like react.js support. That works well with the rest of our technology stack. Great work guys!

Hi Verge team,

I have noticed
Physics in
3.1.0pre2 causes problems.
“apply impulse” only works a few times and then it stops responding.
in 3.0.1 it works perfekt?
if you need the app please let me know

greetings

Thank you Jeremy!

it may be the physics bodies went to sleep (they now do automatically after some period of idleness to save performance).
Just ‘activate’ your object again with the new body control puzzle (v. 3.1 pre1-2). Or disable sleeping altogether by using the same puzzle (‘disable deactivation’).

Hi Yuri,

thanks for the hint
I was able to solve the problem with puzzle (‘disable deactivation’).

maybe remarkable.
Deactivation occurs when the camera is changed!?

Also noteworthy, the same app reacts differently depending on the verge version?

Accelerate several times with the blue “drive” button,
then click “left” or “right” button.
the 1st app, is slithering
the 2nd app stops and turns
? :)

I can no longer export one of my scenes with 3.1 pre2.
