It’s not a hidable mesh. It’s an empty.

Right, but as you can see in Blender, it is an object, not an Empty, what can explain this?

The Hide puzzle does hide engCoverPort if the Append Scene is disabled.

From what I can tell, it looks like the geometry protection is contained here https://apps.kaonadn.net/4559009/core/product.js

Does it look like they are storing the reference to the geometry as a variable and loading it by constructing a path by assembling a string?

Has anyone heard of Lepton? Maybe it’s a custom coded protection system, or is it a framework anyone can access, use or reproduce? I can find nothing on the web about it.

Odd, Kaon manages to do it. They have a manifest of their models in a js file, where they rename the model extensions to .xmm, the js code seems to create an obfuscated variable name for each model, all beginning with “aghr” that contains attributes of the model, for example:

   "aghrYW9uLXNwdHIWCxIJUGFydE1vZGVsGICAgI743IQKDA": {
        "displayName": "Generic Lab Worker Tall",
        "cz": -7.152557373046875e-07,
        "thetaOffset": 0,
        "psiOffset": 0,
        "pivY": 0,
        "pivX": 0,
        "wy": -0.001413719728589058,
        "wz": -7.152557373046875e-07,
        "cy": 0.9712782895192504,
        "wx": 0,
        "height": 1.945384018495679,
        "depth": 0.5969557285308837,
        "width": 0.6217545509338379,
        "top": 1.945384018495679,
        "cx": 0,
        "matIDs": [
            "join2-mat_8cb60dc9"
        ],
        "objID": "Kaon_Generic_Labworker_WhiteGown_Tall",
        "pivZ": 0,
        "phiOffset": 0,
        "img": "2d/Kaon_Generic_Labworker_WhiteGown_Tall_top.png",
        "paletteImg": "2d/Kaon_Generic_Labworker_WhiteGown_Tall_front.png",
        "filename": "uploads/1668704350/Kaon_Generic_Labworker_WhiteGown_Tall.XMM"
    },

Is anyone familiar with the framework they use to secure their geometry from being accessed? Where could anyone go to learn how to implement that for our own web pages?

Accessing uploads/1668704350/Kaon_Generic_Labworker_WhiteGown_Tall.XMM directly results in a Error 404. Not found… possibly blocked by a web.config file, somehow? The XMM files do not appear listed in the DevTools.

Thanks.

That is true if I create the event listeners on the page, which explains why that doesn’t work.

So using puzzles appears to be the solution. Why don’t the puzzles in my example do the trick? Shouldn’t that work?

I now placed the functions inside the function that makes the annotations appear, so that means the event listener is applied only when the annotations exist, this still produces no success and no console error.

kdv,

My server is what I am discussing here, your server may be another story but that’s not what I am concerned about. My server needs to be configured to serve gltf.xz thus my attempts to find an answer that may benefit others facing this issue.

For those keeping score: So far, the answer appears to be: Adding this to my web.config stopped the gltf.xz error I received and in addition to fixing new errors that cropped up as a result, since :

<mimeMap fileExtension=".gltf.xz" mimeType="application/zip" />
<mimeMap fileExtension=".bin.xz" mimeType="application/zip" />
<mimeMap fileExtension=".hdr.xz" mimeType="application/zip" />

..resulting of course, in an entirely new error I am now coping with, for the teapot demo:

v3d.GLTFLoader: Couldn't load texture teapot_heater_OcclusionRoughnessMetallic.ktx2

All I could find on that format is summed up in this addition to my config file, that solves nothing:

<mimeMap fileExtension=".ktx2" mimeType="image/ktx2" /> = I still get that error.

Never a dull moment, is there? Which again brings me to the same question: Why is the Verge3D network able to serve that format? What configuration are they using that allows it? If I knew I could configure my server to do what theirs is doing.

It would be handy if that information were available somewhere discoverable to refer to, does it exist and I just haven’t found it?

Thanks.

kdv,

That’s flatly untrue, without adding those mimetypes to my webconfig, none of the Verge3D apps work at all. Adding those enabled them to work.

Are you saying that it is simply impossible for some certain servers to host gltf.xz files, meaning that a particular web server is unable to serve Verge3D content for some as yet defined reason?

Is there documentation somewhere that covers that issue? I cannot find it.

Again, my comment did not appear when I submitted it, is it because I hit the Reply button? Or what? Let’s try it again:

Thanks kdv, but if the very same, identical application and all its files, runs on here just fine:

https://cdn.soft8soft.com/demo/blender/swiss_army_knife/index.html

What could account for it not running on my server, if not a mimetype issue?

I have not altered any file in any way at all. Simply demoing the tech to the company I work for, to convince them to purchase a license. This issue is preventing me from making a solid case.

Thanks again.
