I’ll have to think about the case of image sequences, it’s nothing I can add tonight but I’ll keep it as a feature request and think about it

I think one way to go about it in the meantime would be to use a video. I’ll update the packages tomorrow so you can just add a VideoPlayer component to your scene (would that help)

you could then put it in the include folder like this to be played

for example

Ah thanks - that’s good to know

Oohhh sounds like an interesting feature, will try to play around with it for sure when it comes out

Also need to figure out a way to bake procedural texture animation as an image sequence but that’s a blender thing

I got another question, does needle support light emission from the principled shader? I spent this entire evening trying to figure out lightmaps but it’s been disastrous so far

by user 392979063620501504

Lightmaps and emission should both work - how did you try exporting lightmaps?

I was looking through the documentation and followed the video
Needle Engine for Blender | Needle Engine Documentation on here
I made sure to unwrap the models and generate the textures but they were wildly different from what I was seeing in eevee, It sets to cycles automatically so it might have something to that, but I think I might bake the light maps separately later

Emissions aren’t working or atleast I haven’t seen them work, not even my HDRi was working so I just set up on top down area light instead

by user 392979063620501504

The emission shader turned white and through principled bsdf I see not lighting chages

I’m uploading the prod build to my website tonight, should be up by tomorrow hopefully

by user 392979063620501504

Should be able to share regular previews from there soon

by user 392979063620501504

Thanks…if you run into issues like that please keep reporting them (or if anything feels unintuitive) - we want to fix and improve on those.

Ill check lightmapping tomorrow on my end again. I saw some logs occasionally which could mean that something might not be working correctly anymore. I will let you know. A new version will be coming tomorrow :slightly_smiling_face:

About the hdri: if you have it setup with hdri and it’s not working it would be great if you could send over the files too. If we have a state where something is setup correctly but not working it helps a lot!

Cool cool, I’ll ping you then

It’s up on my website, uploaded through git and hosted on Netlify

Hi, i think this might be due to the scene view lighting being used as well - can you try setting it to Scene World ?

Yep this worked
