glb files not loading on fxhash sandbox

[joeantani]

I made a patch on cables.gl for fxhash using the fxhash op. The patch involved the randomization of a series of .glb assets.
Everything worked fine in cables, so I exported it in zip format and downloaded it. Once once unzipped I opened the index and insterted the fxhash snipped in the head section. Then I uploaded it on the fxhash sanbox, the button was visible, the color backround too but no 3D assets was showing. After a series of attempt, I tried to use the previewer of the minter on fxhash and it turns out there everything was showing, and working properly. I assumed the sandbox doesn't allow the fetch of glb assets maybe for safety reasons(?)
Anyone has ideas why?

This is in their guide: https://www.fxhash.xyz/doc/artist/guide-publish-generative-token

Network requests
You cannot make any network request. If you need an external library/font/image, you must put it in your project folder. I know, this isn't an ideal workflow, but the point is to create self-contained tokens which can execute properly regardless of external conditions.

And their size limit is 30mb so you're limited on what you can do with 3d models. The best case would be to port a shader from ShaderToy of something that is similar and modify it to fit your style and subject matter and do it all in code.

I'm working on a project and doing something that is probably similar to what you're doing, the only way I figured to do it is to use morph targets. It should work for me because I'm randomizing a single and quite simple model, but the problem is that we can't change the value property for morph targets in Cables.gl, so regrettably, I've had to use BabylonJS instead which has easy support for it.
Good luck.

that's kinda outdated so following the steps on fxhash and basically here, might work better:

really ? i had no idea, maybe that is the reason why it didn't work. gonna try it out !
thank you for your help !

to sum up:

• yes, fxhash does not load assets that have a get-string parameter (i.e. ?rnd=u3hdif)
• gltfscene adds this for cachebusting, we will look into that.

would still be nice if someone could test/verify if this is only in the sandbox (as suggested in the initial question) or also with a minted piece. (you should be able to use my patch and see if both settings of the sidebar-toggle show an image)

@steam0r aha, so the toggle button in the patch turns this (i.e. ?rnd=u3hdif) thing on and off to test it, i am happy to help where i can. I am working on getting my patch ready with the normal fxhash boilerplate, like you said. if you like i can run your testpatch through the minting process as far as possible, without actually minting it.
also would you mind continuing this on discord, for some reason my github account got flagged and i want to know what is going on before i upload any more files etc.

putting this in a new answer as its more consice:

fxhash for some reason has a bug with/does not allow loading assets from urls that have parameters (?some=param) IN THEIR SANDBOX.

this leads to some ops not working properly, in this case GltfScene.

it works fine though in their preview DURING MINTING. there seems to be a difference on what they actually do there.
so if you encounter something like this in sandbox. try minting it and using that preview.

thanks to @VoidBoy for the help and directions!

on dev.cables.gl GltfScene got an update and (for example) this patch now also works in the fxhash sandbox:

awesome ! ill go and test it as soon as i have a minute. thanks !!

FYI - To anyone reading this, for the above mentioned (cables.gl / GLB) update you will need to export your project from dev.cables.gl (not cables.gl)
