I saw some discussions saying gltf does not export bumpmap but if I look into my exported gltf file (separate files mode) there is a bumpmap file with a bumpscale (and also normal map). After loading into three.js I get a meshstandard material with bumpmap object and scale value and also normalmap object. But they seem to have no effect on the rendered object. What is exactly allowed to do to export relief effect from Blender to Three.js with gltf ?
The only relief effect available in glTF is a tangent-space normal map, as shown here:
Blender does have the ability to convert height maps and other kinds of bump maps to tangent-space normal maps, by way of the "Bake" function in Cycles. There are also online utilities that can do this as well.

I have a problem with three.js GLTFExporter.
I added a model with a transparent map to the scene.
model in three.js render
but if i use GLTFExporter to export this model, when i use GLTFLoader to load this model,
It doesn't look like what I showed you before（The transparency of the glass is lost.
The effect after export from GLTFExporter
What is known so far is that I used transparent maps for this model，when I export the model, the transparency effect disappears.
Could you please provide me with some solutions?
Thank you for your help. The reason for this problem is that after loading the .3ds model at the front end, I exported it as .gltf file. When loading the .gltf file again, part of the attribute values were lost, for example, alphaMap became null and .transparent became false, so the transparency effect failed.
So far I've solved this problem by modifying the .gltf attribute values:
Set the last item in the array below the GLTF file to 0.1, which represents the transparency of the object
materials.pbrMetallicRoughness.baseColorFactor = [1,1,1, 0.1]
We have an issue with exporting our 3D Assets and animations correctly so that three.js can correctly display them.
All our 3D artists work with Cinema4D so we need to go through blender to export a three.js compatible JSON. They export the scene as FBX and then import it to blender. This seems to work fine. The model looks good there (with Material View set in Preview Window) and the simpler models we exported even worked with textures and animations.
But we now have a scene where, when we load the resulting JSON, some of the meshes are flipped 180° (but only some - the trees) and one of the models (Santa model) is not textured. They all look fine in blender.
When loading the JSON in https://threejs.org/editor/ you will immediately see the issues:
Is this an export problem? Can we fix it by tweaking the export params? Will we need to adjust the model in blender?
I would advise a couple things here:
File a bug on three.js including the .blend file
Try freezing transforms in Blender or C4D before export
Perhaps try a different three.js-compatible blender exporter, like glTF-Blender-Exporter.
So my question is, when creating textures inside blender how can i configure those textures so that when I export mesh with Three.js exporter they get assigned as specific textures (map, aoMap).
So far I have one mesh with two textures and one textures is map(diffuse) and other texture is lightMap. ( That's what I figured out from generated .json file)
I want to set one texture to remain to be map, and another one to be aoMap insted of lightMap.
So I figured it out by looking at python scripts for Three.js exporter.
If you want texture to be map (diffuse) you need to set "Blend" property on texture inside Blender to be "Color". If you want texture to be map (light) you need to set texture "Blend" property inside blender to "Multiply".
It appears that exporter does not support map (ambient occlusion). I guess I will have to hack it up so it does.
Is there any way to export the whole scene from Maya to Three.js.
Exported elements should be:
all mesh, textures, cameras, including the lights, shadows etc.
So that I can get the proper rendered effect that is been in the maya.
If you read the doc for the Maya exporter, it currently doesn't support exporting lights. You'll have to create the manually in your three.js code.
I don't know the current status of three.js loaders as I havn't used for a while now but back then Collada and FBX exporters were shaky. And still seem to be. You can try exporting from Maya to FBX and convert it (FBX file format supports lights).
OBJ file format doesn't support support lights of animation but this is the easiest way to go.
Long story short, export your models with the correct materials and create and place your lights manually.
PS: You can't export shadows.
Blender has the ability to set a material to Flat or Smooth.
In the Blender exporter for three.js, when I check "Export Normals" to JS model, I always export all materials as Smooth. The exported file is twice bigger.
Is there a way to export models with Flat Shaded and Smooth shaded faces without need to set it manually in three.js ?
There is no flatshading/noshading/smoothshading equivalent in blender. However as few other features (blending, depthwrite, depthtest) it could be proposed in the 'threejs' part of the material pannel.
You could do it yourself by editing the following files in the addon :
constants.py,
__init__.py,
exporter/material.py,
exporter/api/material.py
(copy the way blending types work for example)
You would just pay attention that the blender io-three addon yet has a shading field for materials, used to define phong or lambert materials. You would just have to chose an other name.
Finally you would also have to edit threejs so the JSONLoader can parse the new property you add.
That said, it is a bit longer than setting your materials properties in your code, since you will always need to write material=new THREE.Mesh****Material(properties)...
