WEBVIEW OpenGl scene gets all dark (No ambiant)

[Patrick Fritsch 62]

So trying out Webview, I export a perspective in OpenGL with interior lights & heliodons turned off (The classes). But the Web view turns them back on it seems. Check out browser and VW screen shots, also it exports to VW server but VW gives me this Error msg below? Any ideas?

You could move them to a Lighting Layer

So as part of my trouble shooting, I deleted all Classes and Layers with lights and heliodons, but there is still no ambiant lighting inside Webview export?

@Patrick FritschThe default lighting for the web view is directional lighting. This means the lighting changes as you walk around/traverse the scene. We look forward to changing this in the future.

 

Also, other users have reported the same error message. We believe that a fix for this should be coming soon.

 

Thanks for your patience!

Thanks Andrew, i'll wait a bit longer for the feature to evolve before I send this to my clients, as it looks really drab. Also would be nice if OpenGL show edges option would be exported in Webview as White card model geometry would be enhanced.

Not sure what directional lighting is but its clearly not working. Any idea if a SP will be out to fix this?

@barkestHere is what directional lighting is: https://docs.unrealengine.com/latest/INT/Engine/Rendering/LightingAndShadows/LightTypes/Directional/ . Most web viewers have this as the default behavior. We are planning to address this issue in a future release. 

 

Thanks for understanding!
