Verge3D is a real-time renderer and toolkit for creating interactive 3D applications on websites.

Overview

Verge3D was developed by the same core team of software engineers that previously created the Blend4Web framework. Verge3D allows users to edit interactive content in the popular 3D modeling tools (Autodesk 3ds Max and Blender are currently supported) and then convert it for viewing in a web browser.

Functions

Verge3D uses WebGL for rendering. It contains components of the Three.js library and makes its API available to application developers.

Puzzles
The application functionality can be added via JavaScript . This is done either by writing code directly or by using puzzles, Verge3D's visual programming environment based on Google Blockly . Puzzles is primarily aimed at non-programmers to enable them to quickly create interactive scenarios using drag-and-drop .
App manager and web publishing
The App Manager is a lightweight, web-based tool for creating, managing and publishing Verge3D projects that runs on the local development server. The Verge3D network service integrated in the App Manager enables the publication of Verge3D applications via Amazon S3 and EC2 cloud services.
PBR
In addition to the standard shader-based approach, a glTF 2.0-compliant, physically-based rendering pipeline is offered for creating materials. PBR textures can be created using external texturing software such as Substance Painter, for which Verge3D offers the appropriate export specification.
glTF and DCC software integration
Verge3D integrates directly with Blender and Autodesk 3ds Max, so users can create 3D geometry, materials and animations within the software and then export them in JSON -based glTF format. The sneak preview function enables the export and display of scenes from the DCC tool environment.
Facebook 3D posts
Verge3D offers a special GLB export option for posting on Facebook. The exported GLB files are displayed and can be opened via the App Manager. The exported GLB files are displayed and can be opened in the App Manager.
Asset Compression
Exported files can optionally be reduced in their file size by up to 6 times using LZMA compression.
UI and website layouts
Interface layouts created in external WYSIWYG editors can be linked to puzzles and functions of the 3D scene rendered in the browser and vice versa.
Physics
The physics module can be connected separately to enable collision detection, dynamically moving objects, support for characters and vehicles, springs, ropes and fabric simulations.

Workflow

Verge3D's workflow differs significantly from other common WebGL frameworks as it is based on the workflow of a 3D artist. The development of a new Verge3D application usually starts with the modeling, texturing and animation of 3D objects. The models are put together in a 3D scene in a single * .max or * .blend file. This file is then used as the basis for a Verge3D project that is created via the App Manager. An interactive scenario is optionally added using the puzzles editor overlay. The Verge3D application can be viewed at any stage of development with the App Manager in the web browser. The finished web application can be used in the Verge3D network, on Facebook or on the user's website.
