On the materials of COLLADA models (`.dae` files)

Open ferrolho opened this issue 6 years ago • 1 comments

As of the current latest releases of MeshCat and MeshCatMechanisms there are still some issues loading the materials of a .dae model.

(v1.2) pkg> st
    Status `~/.julia/environments/v1.2/Project.toml`
  [283c5d60] MeshCat v0.8.0
  [6ad125db] MeshCatMechanisms v0.5.0

Below is a side-by-side comparison of the same model in MeshCat and in threejs.org/editor.

What should I be looking at to improve this? Would updating threejs resolve it (https://github.com/rdeits/MeshCat.jl/issues/54)? Or is there more to it than just that? Cheers! :slightly_smiling_face:

Quoting from https://github.com/rdeits/MeshCat.jl/issues/54#issuecomment-545530904:

I have tested threejs r109 (ferrolho/meshcat@f020e53) and, at first sight, it does not seem to have breaking changes. Is there a reason for not upgrading?

Okay, one possibility down: it is not related with the threejs version.
