Thanks, the GUI is beyond my abilities. But I’d like to try it somehow anyways. Is it possible to over-write or otherwise upload my own HDRI backgrounds? My scenes all look a little dark and I’m not sure if that’s the gallery settings or my object settings. I maxxed lighting. In this example file over at three.js: https://threejs.org/examples/#webgl_materials_envmaps – they use the same bridge HDRI but it is much brighter than what I am trying here: https://openbuilding.ca/tools/threepress-test/

No it’s good – I just had to add the model from your UI (+) not from the general media uploader…https://openbuilding.ca/tools/threepress-test/ – success so far. I just can’t get the model converter I was using to capture textures, transparencies, etc. yet: https://products.aspose.app/3d/conversion/obj-to-glb – might need to find some different converters/formats/authoring tools. Being faithful to the geometry/math is important ultimately.

Also – I’m a little stumped on whether I can use the standard WP media uploader to put .glb files – doesn’t seem to want to. Will I need to ftp them up? (per: https://wordpress.com/support/accepted-filetypes/) – oh nevermind – you solved that with your model UI page – got it!

Great demo of where I’d like to get to w. parametric controls: https://threejs.org/examples/#webgl_geometry_sdf

I’ll post a PDF here that outlines the basics… for more info on the topic look up Quadrays, Tom Ace (C++ version), Kirby Urner, Bucky Fuller, Caltrops, etc. Gerald DeJong put me on the Wildberger path… https://openbuilding.ca/wp-content/uploads/2024/02/Graphisoft-Days-Geometry-Section.pdf

Thank you. Well, ultimately my goal is to use the math of NJ Wildberger (Rational Trigonometry) as a computationally more efficient method to describe/render polyhedra with no trailing decimals or rounding. What I eventually want to do is use the CFF interface to allow for parametric sliders to manipulate the polyhedra values to warp and morph the polyhedra. I’d start with the classic Tetraktys series… I need to find an authoring tool that will allow me to write polyhedra this way however, I’ve done so in Graphisoft ArchiCad but it limits my 3D export formats. Other authouring tools like Blender will have their own conventional trig methods to define polyhedra, I will probably need to hand code the stuff… or start from a conventional authoring tool’s methods and then rip out the math bits and swap in the rational trig methods.

It was a ‘Page Optimize’ plugin installed by default (Automattic): “Optimizes JS and CSS for faster page load and render in the browser.”

That was it. Switching back on plugins (flying car showed up finally). Ugh, nope that wasn’t it – it is some other plugin. Isolating now.

I shutoff jetpack performance accelerator: “Load pages faster by allowing Jetpack to optimize your images and serve your images and static files (like CSS and JavaScript) from our global network of servers.”

The site is hosted on wordpress.com as a ‘creator’ level package. I will shut off some plugins and see if that helps. There is a bunch of jetpack stuff running by default…

But here’a an example of my CFF charts.js and CFF shortcode showing nothing when threepress is active: https://openbuilding.ca/tools/affordability-pie/

Non-woo-commerce related errors.

PHP error log just showed a bunch of deprecated WooCommerce settings which is odd since the plugin is up to date in a brand new install of the WP 2024 theme…

Here is what my js console looks like with both CFF and Threepress plugins active. The ‘Affordability Pie’ page (https://openbuilding.ca/tools/affordability-pie/) fails to call the script somehow – this goes away when I deactivate threepress… and also attached is the block editor view of the threepress gallery I’m trying to paste into this page: https://openbuilding.ca/tools/threepress-test/ I’ll try loading the ‘Error Log Monitor’ you suggest. Thanks for looking into this.

Amazing again, thank you!
