3D models not rendering in bundle (SOLVED)

[Pawel]

Hi!

I am working on a small 3D racer game and everything works nicely in the build from Editor, but when I build the game for target (Windows or HTML5) everything is black except particlefx. There are 3D models (quad for ground and 3D models of stands and car) and a sprite (white built-in blob as a texture), the only thing I see is the particlefx simulating smoke, the added sprite and GUI - models are not visible (black).

Left: build from Editor | Right: windows bundle:

Nothing unusual in logs:

Defold 1.7.0 (engine sha1: bf4dc66ab5fbbafd4294d32c2797c08b630c0be5, editor sha1: bf4dc66ab5fbbafd4294d32c2797c08b630c0be5).

I’m using a built-in render script (as in the 3D example).

Models are using exactly the same materials as built-in example, the quad for the ground is the exact copy of the quad from example with changed texture only. Yet, I don’t have such problem when bundling only the 3D example:

windows bundle, 3d example:

Do you have any ideas what should I check? How to debug it?

[jhonny.goransson]

Hm, it might be a bob issue related to the multi-material change perhaps. Does it work if you create a new material and assign everything manually from scratch? Maybe that could narrow it down?

[Pawel]

Yes, yes it does Thank you!

Left: Windows, Right: HTML5:

I copied the very same built-in material for model with fragment and vertex program:

and assigned it to the car (there are multiple parts in the model):

And it works both in Editor build and bundles

Could you please explain why something like this happens when using the built-in materials?

P.S. When assigning same material to the rest of the models - all of them starts appearing in builds as expected

[jhonny.goransson]

We have changed the file formats to support multiple materials, and the editor usually migrates file formats. When you build from html5 or bundle for any platform we invoke bob so I’m guessing we are missing a migration step there perhaps

[jhonny.goransson]

Actually, could you open an issue about this on GH? We will forget it otherwise
