Image-Based Lighting
Here is an important performance tweaking improvement. From now on, you can select the algorithm for image-based lighting. Before, only the Prefiltered Mipmaped Radiance Environment Map (PMREM) technique was available, which produces quality rendering but is unfortunately rather slow. This version introduces two simpler and faster techniques based on light probes, which can be enabled in the Render tab (Blender)
or Export settings (3ds Max or Maya)
- PMREM – high quality, slow. This is the default option.
- Light Probe + Cubemap – reduced quality of image-based specular reflections, average performance.
- Light Probe – no image-based specular reflections, fastest (may be 10x faster compared to PMREM).
So if you have performance issues (low FPS), you can try to fix this by switching to a light probe technique. In addition, in Blender you can replace your Principled BSDF nodes with Diffuse BSDF or Emission BSDF nodes.
Pointer Events
The modern standard for handling input devices in the browser is now reflected in Puzzles. Thus, the HTML event puzzle obtained pointerdown, pointerup, pointermove and other events.
The get event property puzzle now has the isPrimary (e.g. detect the first finger of multi-touch event) and pointerType (mouse, pen or touch) options.
We also added some other relevant event properties to this puzzle: button (0 – left, 1 – wheel, 2 -right, 3 – browser back, 4 – browser forward), offsetX and offsetY.
Blender-only
The undocumented script setupAddon.bat, which you can use to manually install the Verge3D addon in the Blender addon directory on Windows, now properly works.
3ds Max-only
There is now a checkbox to explicitly enable the First-Person mode for the camera. We also fixed the bug with collision material not working with the First-Person camera.
Export to .glb format now works.
Empty scenes no longer crash upon export. Also V-Ray materials, lights and camera no longer crash upon export.
Other Improvements
The Puzzles library’s save file my_library.xml will no longer be overwritten when a new version of Verge3D is installed in the same directory.
WebGL shaders were optimized a bit. As a result, they now are compiled 20-25% faster, helping to scene loading.
JavaScript methods copyRGBEToLinear() and convertRGBEToLinear() were added for the Color class.
We updated and expanded the documentation. Among updated sections are physics, lighting and rendering (for all 3 suites), as well as help pages for the new and previously implemented puzzles.
Bug Fixes
We fixed the puzzle is visible which was not working in some cases.
We fixed a series of installation issues which happened if the name of the user directory on Windows contained spaces or non-latin symbols.
We fixed the bug when raycasting was applied to hidden parented objects. Such objects are now ignored.
Still cant export my scene

fixed that! thanks!
Here you can find an almost empty scene.
Thanks, we were able to reproduce and resolve this issue!
Great
Can’t wait to test the new release with all the improvements on my current app.Also great to see the improvements for the html events. Can you tell me if you are also working on a “proper” onclick event? Which doesnt fire when you just try to move/navigate in the scene?
