    Lately, I have updated my projects to Blender 3.6 LTS and am glad that recently both Blender and Verge3D support webp file format. (my projects load much faster now.) :yahoo:
    Version 4.4 pre-3 works great and has significant improvements but I found 2 issues – while testing my Fantasy Vehicle project – that used to work well in version 3.9.1.
    1) The rotation of the propellers doesn’t loop any more. (The animation puzzle repeat function doesn’t work any more.)
    2) In 3.9.1 (and previous versions) the outline used to appear without problems when the camera is outside of the environment dome. Now the outline only appears when the camera is close to the object.
    I hope I am on time with this post so you can fix this before the final 4.4 version.
    Thanks and best wishes,
    :bye: Simone

    Hi Simone,

    Checked on our side and it appears to be OK. I believe these issues are specific to your project. Is it possible to provide some reduced version of your scene so we could reproduce and fix them?

    Best regards,
    Alexander

    Here is the zip file to test things out. Even in this simple scene, the same issues occur. :cry:

    Where? )))

    Puzzles and JS. Fast and expensive.

    If you don’t see the meaning in something it primarily means that you just don’t see it but not the absence of meaning at all.

    Thank you Simone, we received it to our email. Will look into it. :bye:

    Any news on resolving these issues?
    Everything worked fine in version 3.9.1. The object animation didn’t need to be pre-baked in Blender, and the outline function worked also when the camera was outside the environment dome. Are the issues due to changes in Blender or to changes in Verge3D? :unsure:
    I now have to pre-bake the object animation to make things work in V3D. Unfortunately, there is only a V3D setting in Blender to bake armature animations but not to bake object animations on export.
    Hopefully, everything can be resolved in version 4.5. :scratch:
    :bye: Simone

    And now they don’t need it (except armaturtes). The only difference concerning the linearly interpolated rotation was discussed here https://www.soft8soft.com/topic/linear-animation/ and here https://www.soft8soft.com/topic/linear-rotation-intopolation/

    There might be a workaround for the last versions, but I hope these 2 issues will be fixed in the upcoming version of Verge3D. As I said, it all worked fine in 3.9.1 and before. It is unfortunate that sometimes things break while working on improvements. Keeping up with the many changes in Blender is also not an easy task. :wacko:
    I hope it can be solved. :scratch:

    Yes, the linearly interpolated rotation worked fine in 3.x.x. with just two key frames. But now it won’t. Now it requires at least 4 key frames. No baking required.

    Their official answer given five months ago:

    Unfortunately this is not a bug, but a limitation of glTF format which can’t store Euler angles (only quaternions). Basically, the 0 and 360 rotation is the same, so the cube is motionless. To make it work you need to supply a couple of intermediate keyframes in-between.

    The simplest example of how to make an animated linear rotation:

    Puzzles and JS. Fast and expensive.
