Hmm, I see. Well you could use load material, but it would depend on your UV setup for your textured cube, you would need to match that with the material you are loading.

I am trying to understand the question, in what case are you doing this? Are you using the load material ACE? In general the best initial load of textures should be done in blender and exported with embedded textures in the gltf, glb. Are you doing another procedure after that? Any screenshot or demo project, so I can understand the issue better?
Love It! Nice work. Got me on a good jump scare too! A lot of nice systems and work here. Congrats on winning the competition, now I can say 3DObject played a part in an Award Winning Game! It's a great showcase, I'll make a dev log about it.
Feels very complete for a first game. Are you using high quality or low quality scaling? Low quality could help with perf if you are using high, with some image degradation, but might be ok for this image style. Good luck on future games! Also any feedback from using the addon is welcome.
On perf, one thing I do for perf is play with culling distant objects, or objects in non visible rooms (but within the viewport).
I am going to say wait, this is the very first experimental iteration, lots of optimization and experiments to go. It is also per face lighting, not per fragment or even per vertex. CPU is pretty heavy for dynamic lighting.
You can mix and match point lights and spot lights.
I think a possible end game is good, fast baked lighting for static 3DObjects, a minimum number of dynamic objects and lights and something cool will be possible, when we get there. No shadows / occlusion.
If you are interested in helping experiment go ahead and jump in, but again still in experimental mode and not all experiments work out!
webGPU also helps with baked lighting performance, due a C3 renderer change, but webGPU is not available for C3 export yet.
You can try some of the addon effect on the C3 site for outlines, check them out.
Here's instructions on installing addons, what issue do you have, can you please give more details?

Thanks!
Download the latest addon and use the addon manager to add it, the same way you installed the first version you used. Restart C3 and you should be ready to go.
See below for more details:

Looking forward to what you are doing! I am keeping it on itch for now.
I think if I put in the Construct Store, there would be too much support required. It is not as simple to use as most C3 addons and just learning how to deal with 3D models can be pretty difficult. Perhaps one day will put it on the C3 store.
I would do it differently: https://sendgb.com/SKrF4x1CqP5
Try it out. I'll also add another ACE for is Animation <name> playing, so it will be even simpler.
The issue in this case was there were 1000+ instance models on a layout. During the same tick all the file requests went out and the number of file requests exceeded the number allowed by the browser.
The fix was to change from instance model to non instance model (since all the instance models used the same model data.) In this was, only one model requests the file and the other instances wait for that file to be loaded and then use the data locally, without additional external requests.
I've played a few times and had a lot of fun creating the story. I did have to shake loose and stop trying to guide the story to a preconceived ending, that was always better when I didn't do that. The prompts are wonderfully diverse and chilling.
Inspired by the game and enabled by the generous CC By 4.0 license, a group of us did a visual novel / journaling game based on WitW for the NanoReno Game Jam. There is preface and epilogue that place the PI into a particular time/space/culture, but the rest of the prompts are procedurally generated similar to the WitW rules, the whispers and ending changed slightly to represent first person and a questioner.
We also added a method to upload the results/journal anonymously to a server, so we can collect/curate and display some of the stories, once we get enough entries.

Thanks again for this thoughtful and horrific game.
