Matcap node (or nodeless) set up

Hi Guys,

What is the simplest way to add matcaps to a Blend4Web scene object.
I am struggling a bit.

I can normally figure most things out on my own but this has got me.
I thought I had cracked it this morning but the object appeared pink in the html output.

Many thanks in advance.

Hi Marc,

Nice to meet you on our forum! You'll be answered shortly

Thank you Yuri.
I look forward to it.

This will improve my output massively.

Hello

Here is blend and HTML

When you use normal geom output you need to add special node group VECTOR_VIEW

html

.blend

Hi Pavel,

Thank you so much. That did the trick!

Is it the same method for environment maps?

Kind Regards,

Marc

You need to bake a cubemap first: look here how, it's very easy :) And then - simple material node setup

Sadly blender viewport doesn't support this type and shows only black

.blend

html

Excellent!
It looks pretty straight forward now.
Thanks so much for the node examples.

I just tried throwing a texture and a normal map in the mix though and it broke it.
My dreaded pink friend returned!

I hooked a texture map up from the UV output on geometry, added a Mix node, hooked your set-up into color 1 and the texture into color 2 then into the Material. It shows up in editor but turns pink when exported to html. How do you add a normal map and texture map into the mix without breaking things?

Thank again,

Marc

Hi Marc,

could you please attach here an example blend file?

Hi Yuri,

Here it is. Not pretty but it does illustrate the issue.

Thank you.

When something like this occurs, press f12 and see console - your problem may be shown here :)

It says that you need to choose UV name in geometry node
