v0.4.0 — Multiple Actors, Camera Spring Arm & Universal Stage Builder

🌟 What's New in v0.4.0

• Multi-Actor Chaining: Sequence and record multiple independent actors (HumanActor and CarActor) on the same stage with synchronized playback.
• Camera Spring Arm Obstacle Avoidance: CameraSpringArm prevents camera clipping against walls, props, and geometry during dynamic shots.
• Actor Color Customization: Dynamic mesh coloring to visually tag and distinguish different actors across the 3D viewport and timeline.
• Universal Stage Builder (SKILL.md): Enhanced 3D geometric engine with 5 core primitives in skills/stage-builder and InstancedStageMesh support.
• New Stage Presets: Built-in previz tracks and dioramas (courthouse_square.json, gas_station.json).
• Vue.js Frontend Architecture: Modernized modular reactive UI components (StagingWidget, ActingWidget, DirectingWidget).

v0.3.0 — 3D Animated Humanoid, Spawn Points & New Scene Presets

Release v0.3.0 introduces an animated 3D humanoid character, configurable stage spawn points, new previz scene presets, and camera motion smoothing.

🌟 What's New in v0.3.0

• Animated 3D Humanoid Model: Replaced static capsule with a custom 3D human model (modeled by @arturitu, using armature bone structure and animations based on Mesh2Motion).
• Configurable Spawn Points: UI selection for actor starting locations across Staging and Acting nodes with dynamic surface height alignment.
• New 3D Scene Presets:
  • liberty_beach: Statue of Liberty ruins on a beach environment.
  • industrial_ruin: Industrial ruin environment.
  • warehouse: Interior warehouse structure.
  • test-collider.json: Dedicated collider testing map.
• Camera & Motion Smoothing: Smooth camera interpolation and responsive actor rotation.

v0.2.0 — Multi-Actor Physics, Hierarchy & AI Scene Builder

Major update introducing modular vehicle/humanoid actor physics, advanced scene hierarchy & grouping, smart dynamic cameras, and AI-assisted natural language 3D scene generation.

🌟 What's New in v0.2.0

• Modular Actor Physics Engine: Introduced CarActor (multi-probe suspension, pitch/roll ramp alignment, wheel rolling, drift inertia, and jumping) alongside HumanActor.
• Hierarchical Scene Management: Group (Group) and Ungroup (Ungroup) asset assemblies, Multi-Selection (Shift + click/box select), and Transform Snapping (Shift).
• AI 3D Scene Builder (SKILL.md): Transform prompts or reference images into 3D previz scenes using the scene-staging-builder skill with any AI coding assistant (Antigravity, Claude Code, Cursor, Pi).
• Smart Dynamic Cameras: Zero-clipping FPV camera offset calculation and Auto-Framing Master Wide Camera (THREE.Box3).
• High-Fidelity Captures: 1:1 stage initial frame snapshot matching camera view, FOV, and atmospheric fog.
• 3D Scene Preset Library: Built-in previz tracks (space_platform_track.json, race_track.json, varied_forest.json).

v0.1.0 — Initial 3D Spatial Prev-viz Release

Initial proof-of-concept release for ComfyUI-scene-camera-action.

🌟 Highlights

• Interactive 3D Viewports: Custom nodes (SceneNode, ActingNode, DirectingNode) for 3D previz workflows.
• Blockout Scene Setup: Interactive 3D block placement, scaling, and rotation gizmos.
• Human Actor Controls: Real-time keyboard (WASD) locomotion and trajectory recording.
• Multi-Camera Timeline: Timeline keyframing across TPV, FPV, Wide, and Side camera modes.
• V2V Reference Outputs: 720p HD recorded video (VIDEO) and stage overview snapshot (IMAGE).
