Sprite3D invidible on android (bug?)

sexdrugsvideogames

hey sexy godot geniuses, unsure if bug therefore posting here

i'm making a 3d-ish game with 3d sprites / billboards (mode7 ?) gles 2, godot 3.2.3

this is the windows debug. the red bug is a png file, 512x512 rgba8 (double sided, bilboard)

this is on android with one-click deploy, no red bug

this is android, too, but this time alpha cut is set to discard

am i overlooking something? i hope so and that its not an engine problem. please help!

thanks

It might be that your android device doesn't support some specific OpenGL feature properly. But it's difficult to say for certain what the issue might be.

thanks, especially for the heads up with account confirmation!

knowing the cpu and android version, is there a way to check opengl features? any android devs who could point me in the right direction?

for anyone in the future, this is android 8, kirin 655 cpu with 3gb ram. according to wikipedia its a mali-t830 mp2 gpu.

my next step was a textured mesh instance quad but that also didn't work.

i reimported the png with all boxes unticked and it worked out! (both for sprite3d and mesh instance)

the culprit seems to be the "detect 3d" option in the texture preset. must be OFF

A bit verbose but heres a list from a device with mali-t830 under android 8.0.0: https://opengles.gpuinfo.org/displayreport.php?id=5180

However I'm not sure what feature I'd have to look for. Someone more familiar with the inner workings of the renderer might though.

You said you are using 3.2.3 with gles2, but have you tried making a copy of your project and changing it to gles3?

thanks for the link! might come in handy

i checked out the gles 3 build and there were no inconsistencies with the sprite3d, even when "detect 3d" on texture import was on.
