Designers and developers using Needle Engine are not impacted by Unity's runtime fees. Needle Engine is a completely separate runtime environment based on @threejs and designed for the web. We are not charging per install/per view and are definitely not planning to do so.

Are developers utilizing @NeedleTools in Unity also impacted by the runtime tax? @hybridherbst @marcel_wiessler , can you shed some light on this?

So many graphics people are explaining that this is "basic stuff", when the actual issue imho is that most UI frameworks make it hard to add a bit of 3D into 2D UIs. You typically have to turn to 3D and add lots of UI to it... (e.g. Unity is actively removing that ability)

Getting closer to lighting/lightmaps/environment parity between @unity 's URP and @threejs for our @NeedleTools unity-to-three bridge. It's great that @glTF3D + PBR is mostly well-defined by now; things start to look "correct"! #madewithunity #screenshotsaturday More info: 1/6

First mixed impressions of Apple's Vision OS Simulator: - works in principle - Safari in the sim behaves different to Safari on the same Mac (glitchy 3D textures, links) - keyboard locale broken - crashes often - can't place on surfaces - spatial layering is hard, even for Apple

Played around with a little 2D/2.5D sidescroller this evening. Switching between side view and top-down view feels pretty nice! Try it here, arrow keys and mouse wheel: #madewithneedle @threejs #webdev

Prototyped a basic @glTF3D viewer as immersive volume for Vision OS. Files are fetched from the @thekhronosgroup sample-assets repo.

👀 WebXR in a WWDC session tomorrow. Wonder if that means it's not behind a flag anymore?

Super exciting – a ton of work on making sure automatic, unsupervised glTF optimization "just works" went into this (with improvements still ongoing). The result is much faster loading speeds, faster raycasts, faster physics, much higher scene complexities, ... without having to
