5.1.3

Needle Engine

Fixed

• Audio sources now clone correctly

• Objects with HideFlags export reliably

• Corrected the default camera field of view

• Added: the bundled dist/three now exposes the full Three.js API for import-map setups

• Changed: updated MaterialX to 1.7.1:

  • Environment radiance sampling (PMREM & importance sampling)
  • Automatic tangent generation
  • Upgraded runtime to MaterialX 1.39.5
  • Improved texture, alpha, and environment handling
  • Uses the app's Three.js via import maps (no duplicate three) — shares Needle Engine's Three.js
  • Runs in the browser, Node, Deno, and Bun

Unity Integration

• DragControls options are now available in the inspector
