Petite question: est-ce que la caméra dans Chromium est gérée via une caméra 3js? Auquel cas ça serait assez simple je crois d'améliorer les choses.

La caméra dans Chromium est gérée via une caméra A-Frame (framework qui s'appuie sur THREE.js).

Looks good. I don't understand why Viewport doesn't open.

@macchu said:

Yes, sorry I forgot to mention that, but the glTF exporter is also installed.

Please open a Ruby Console* and paste this code:

PBR;;Viewport.reopen

Then send me resulting text or a screen capture.

I've downloaded the plugin and seems successfully installed but I'm unable to get a viewport to open. I've applied a PBR material and click on Reopen Viewport from the toolbar. I get a dialog box with "Propagate materials to whole model (Recommended)". Whether I select Yes or No, nothing happens. It's likely I'm not following the correct procedure?

PBR plugin requires this other plugin : glTF Exporter. Do you have installed it?

Material Library of PBR plugin includes 100 materials --> Direct link to download it.

v1.4.5 of PBR plugin fixes a light exposure issue in Viewport.

I'm happy to announce that PBR plugin is now available through the SketchUcation PluginStore.

PBR plugin v1.4.3 :

• Checks required plugin.
• Externalizes material lib.

The latest PBR plugin version (downloadable here) includes a toolbar

and one more material.
