Im sure you must hate Safari for this. No issues on Windows , no issue using another browser like chrome on the mac … but try safari … boom , a wall of red in the console. It was falling back to WebGL 1 - I tried to enable WebGL 2 under their “experimental options” - that just resulted in a different wall of red.
This mac has the latest mac catalina OS , it a 2018 mac mini.
Sorry to have to say this , but their is proof that this can be worked around by engine developers because the sketchfab viewer works in the very same browser on the very same machine. I tested several models on their domain. So they have obviously done some work arounds to get everything functional.
Im not sure how much you guys care about this? I need to implement some page to inform a user of broken safari and instruct them that the only solution for now is to use another browser.
Im not a mac user , I hate it with a passion , but I have to use it for clients who love it sigh…
The wall of errors is way beyond posting here… it is terrible. I wish somehow the entire populations eyes could be opened to just how shit Apple is.
I sent you a link in a PM as I cant share the link of this in public just yet and it is far to big to replicate in the playground. Have a look and see the console errors… There are so many It almost brought tears to my eyes.
Could you share a small repro in the pkayground and your link in pm ?
Actually most if babylon works in webgl1 aside of a couple features where there are no workarounds. But we might definitely have a broken bit in webgl 1 which i d like to address ASAP.
Thanks Gents , I sent the link to you as well so you can see , im not joking when I say it is a wall of red in the console. You will see. Of coarse any info to work around it if possible will be appreciated .
You are using ssao2 which is exclusive to webgl2, you could try to switch to ssao without the 2 or disable it in webgl1 mode. I am pretty sure that would do it
strange I used code I found in your demos/docs and is has this wrapped up in a IsSupported conditional , So it should not be getting into here if it is not supported right? here is the code :
if (BABYLON.SSAO2RenderingPipeline.IsSupported) {
// Create SSAO and configure all properties (for the example)
var ssaoRatio = {
ssaoRatio: 0.5, // Ratio of the SSAO post-process, in a lower resolution
blurRatio: 0.5// Ratio of the combine post-process (combines the SSAO and the scene)
};
var ssao = new BABYLON.SSAO2RenderingPipeline("ssao", this.scene, ssaoRatio);
ssao.radius = 2;
ssao.totalStrength = 1;
ssao.expensiveBlur = true;
ssao.samples = 32;
ssao.maxZ = 250;
// Attach camera to the SSAO render pipeline
this.scene.postProcessRenderPipelineManager.attachCamerasToRenderPipeline("ssao", camera);
this.scene.postProcessRenderPipelineManager.enableEffectInPipeline("ssao", ssao.SSAOCombineRenderEffect, camera);
}
directly below this code I am adding a defaultpipeline for some imageprocessing :
ok thanks a million , I was gonna go dig into the docs to see for a data point to get the running WebGL version myself now to bypass the issue manually. Thanks for the response and planned fix.
@sebavan is the new code available yet? I went to git hub and grabbed babylon.js and babylonjs.loaders.min.js fresh, although I not exactly sure where to grab them.
I went here :
is that right?, It looked the most correct to me due to the last update time. I tried earlier today and a tried again right now ( which says updated an hour ago )
Still doesnt work on safari , here is a copy of the logs in my safari console :
I removed it and now all is working on safari , if i put it back I get heaps of errors , they all seem to be related to bump mapping shader just quickly looking over the logs
Ohhh I see @julien-moreau could you look into this one ? it looks like a wrong construct of geometryFragment shader for bump map in gl 1 ?
@shaderbytes anyway your line scene.enableGeometryBufferRenderer().renderTransparentMeshes = false; should be enclosed in your isSupported clause has it is only usefull with the SSAO2 pipeline. It will else decrease perf for no actual good reasons.
