I haven’t gotten into unloading yet but I expect to be needing that. Another thing I have considered is ‘chain-loading’ in the background so that as each glTF file gets loaded, the loaded call back loads the next item. This would be good in some cases where you have a large mesh that could broken up into sections. The downside is that it could interfere with loading user selected files.
I will be very interested to see your loader/unloader functions.
Hmm, wonder if we could get loader/unloader Puzzle blocks
Nice! I love the Christmas scene
Is there anything special we should do when moving applications from an older version into a new version? Do we only need to move our project inside the application directory to the new application directory?There are a couple ways to work around this. One is to just write a loop that converts the arrays but if you just need to convert a few coordinates, you can write a spreadsheet formula that converts the coordinates into a copy/paste friendly format.
The ability to call three.js code from the Puzzles logic is quite profound.
In my project I am able to load an external object, show an animated loading gif that gets hidden when the asset is loaded. Then I can hide and show the newly added object as needed.
Here is the code starting at the “// add your code here” line in the project JS file:// add your code here, e.g. console.log('Hello, World!'); // here is the function that is called from the puzzles block v3dApp.ExternalInterface.loadTunnel1 = function(a) { console.log("External function called") var loader = new v3d.GLTFLoader(); // Load a glTF resource "a" is passed from the puzzle input parameter loader.load( a, function ( gltf ) { v3dApp.scene.add( gltf.scene ); // here is the callback to the Puzzle function when loading is done v3dApp.ExternalInterface.doneLoading1(); } ); };I got it working. I used the “External Call” example app to test it out.
// add your code here, e.g. console.log('Hello, World!'); // Run a Puzzles procedure v3dApp.ExternalInterface.openCover('green'); // Register a Puzzles-to-Code callback v3dApp.ExternalInterface.myJSFunction = function(a) { console.log("External function called") var loader = new v3d.GLTFLoader(); // Load a glTF resource loader.load( a, function ( gltf ) { //Here I had to add v3dApp. before scene, otherwise scene was undefined v3dApp.scene.add( gltf.scene ); gltf.animations; // Array<v3d.AnimationClip> gltf.scene; // v3d.Scene gltf.scenes; // Array<v3d.Scene> gltf.cameras; // Array<v3d.Camera> } ); };I got this code from the CODE API.
I had to change scene.add to v3dApp.scene.add.
In Puzzles, I entered my glTF path as an argument in Parameter “a”.
In Blender I moved my object to another layer to exclude everything else. Then in the Scene tab, I clicked the main layer off so nothing there would be exported.
Just did some checking on the Fresnel node.
It was added in the 1.0.1 update.
Post Link.Some great additions this time. I have just been looking through the changes.
As I suspected would be the case, the Puzzles system is becoming very powerful.
Tween camera.
Load new scene.
Very useful.
The ability to write and call functions all with Puzzles is amazing. I probably need to do a video on just that.
