Model transformation

[phovorka]

WHERE: Example-->Materials and Scenes-->Model transformation
DESCRIPTION OF PROBLEM:
++ you can change orientation (rotation) in degrees
++ you can change scale
-- what about position???
There is missing possibility to move with model(s) (materials)....

WHY MOVE IS IMPORTANT?

• for Exploded view, parametrical input etc.

Workaround for exploded view would be animation... but this is not a correct way...

That is camera-target, since movement of the camera isn't really discernible from movement of the scene.

@elalish How can I customize the model viewer to implement the model movement?
My goal is to develop a simple webAR app where users can place the car on the floor and drive it using controls(forward, backward, rotate). Not for each individual mesh.
Is it possible with the model viewer?
Thanks.

That might be possible with camera-target and orientation, though it'll probably feel pretty hacky. I'm working on a API to make this better (and support multiple models).

@elalish So is it not possible to place the car and drive it using UI control buttons? like forward and backward, rotate?
I want to move the model itself. not camera.

[elalish]

I believe it may be as I stated above, but you'll need to code it up and give it a try. Have you attempted? camera-target currently acts like a position offset in WebXR mode as I recall.

Okay, I will give it a try.
Please keep me posted if your team adds the new feature of model-target movement and rotation, etc.
Thanks.
