I really admire the hot reloading straight from unity to the browser. First in class type of tool. Will start experimenting asap.

This is amazing :) This is Future This is Web 3.0

[@LuciusVulpes]

This is incredible. Is it free for personal portfolios? I'm not that knowledgeable in JS but I do know a lot of Unity, so this is honestly a life-saver since most ThreeJS tutorials I've found are super confusing. 😅

[@needle-tools]

Yes - please see needle.tools/purchase for when you can use it for free

[@HeavenOnEarthMap]

#HELPFUL

[@sujeetshrivastava6377]

I recomnd you two to buy the Producer Edition (And if you have got money, buy the Full Bundle)

[@thomaskumlehn5107]

👏🏻👏🏻👍🏻🙏🏼

[@vikneshkamal]

Do you guys have a tutorial for a third person multiplayer game? Or any help pointing to that direction would be great ! Thanks

[@needle-tools]

Hello, you can use our third person controller sample as a starting point: engine.needle.tools/samples/?open=1#third-person-controller

[@vikneshkamal]

@@needle-tools Great Thanks. :)

[@2biffboff]

How do I use an external positional data stream (i.e., player1: x,y,z) [JSON/MQTT] and attach this to a specific model or group of models within the scene?

[@needle-tools]

Hi, there are multiple ways. The easiest would be by creating a Needle Engine component and add it to the object in the editor. Feel free to ask in our discord if you need a more detailed reply

[@emmanuel8310]

Does it work with unity alone? What about Blender?

[@marwi_123]

Hello, we have a prototype for blender and will make that available too :) no eta right now but maybe end of the year / early next year

[@gameginger5529]

is the pricing system like unity and unreal , or is it paid?

[@needle-tools]

It will be similar to those with free and commercial licensing - we are currently working on the concrete terms.

[@xderen_xd]

It is awesome! But please add unreal engine qwq

[@VrainbowStudioGame]

i want build it with other server how to

[@needle-tools]

Hello, there are deploy to FTP and deploy to itch.io components if you rather use those. Additionally you can host the final files using basically any other provider too

[@june9341]

Does it support Blender?

[@needle-tools]

Yep, there's an Alpha version for exporting right from Blender. You can join our discord at discord.needle.tools to get access to the alpha

[@chillywilson]

You guys need scripting tutorials. My eyes are hurting trying to figure this out, your documentation is like reading a legal contract, you need a jump around way to much.
