How to make the "Animated Textures" work ???

[Cebolitoss]

I'm trying to run a sample where I run a video on a 3D model, but I kept getting errors. To solve this I tried downloading the whole "model-viewer-master" and run it locally.

After the whole "model-viewer-master" was in my local server I kept receiving errors as 404 (Not Found) for lots of files as the files inside the "built" folder, the files inside the "node_modules\focus-visible\dist" folder. So I tried to fix the folders structure inspecting the original (https://modelviewer.dev), copying the files from the website folders structure straight to my local server. And once I fixed all the 404 (Not Found) for the "built" and "node_modules" folder, I kept receiving the "modelViewerAnimated.createVideoTexture is not a function" error, and lots of others.

I used the following online "model-viewer.js" to fix the node_modules 404 errors as bellow, but kept receiving the errors:

<script type="module" src="https://unpkg.com/@google/model-viewer/dist/model-viewer.js""> </script>

I'm really lost on what I'm doing wrong.

This are the errors that I kept receiving after fixing everything that I thought that would help.

What should I do to fix it?

I feel like I'm nearly there, but also feel like I'm still far: 😭 😭😂

I'm not running the whole model-viewer-master anymore, is my actual folders structure.

Okay, it sounds like you both got this working on the MV pre-release version? We'll do a release soon, but remember the pre-release is only for testing. And let me know if there's anything we can do to clarify the documentation.

The sound is muted by default; you can change all the playback settings by getting the underlying element: videoTexture.source.element https://modelviewer.dev/examples/scenegraph/#pickMaterialExample

Video textures are not supported in glTF, QuickLook, or SceneViewer, so the only AR experience this will work on is WebXR on Android, as is the case for most of our advanced features.

@elalish The video textures are still not supported for Quicklook or Sceneviewer? (For showing video in AR mode in iOS phones)

[elalish]

No, they're not, and I wouldn't expect that they will be any time soon, if ever. This is why we prefer WebXR.

@elalish Thank you for your quick reply. Do you have any idea how can I play a video in AR mode for both Android and iOS? It seems is not possible with model-viewer. right?

[elalish]

No, sadly our hands are tied on iOS.
