Hi, I’m completely new to Needle Engine and use the Blender (4.2.6.) Addon (0.52.5) unlicensed.
I’m observing some strange behavior here and would like to figure out what I’m doing wrong.
For me, the localhost:3000 website only automatically updates in the Animation Workspace when saving the Blender file. In the Windows PowerShells of the other workspaces, it says that no file change was detected.
Under Material Preview in the Viewport Shading Settings, HDRI lighting is always used in the Animation Workspace, even when I have “Scene World” selected. The lighting works correctly in all other workspaces.
Can someone please tell me what I’m doing wrong?
Automatic Updates in Animation Workspace:
The behavior you’re experiencing, where the localhost only updates upon saving the Blender file, is typically expected in Blender due to its internal event system. Ensure you have the latest version of the Needle Engine Add-on as improvements are continuously made. What might help is checking if auto-export is enabled in preferences, which allows more frequent updates without needing a save action.
HDRI Lighting in Animation Workspace:
The issue where HDRI lighting persists even when “Scene World” is selected might be related to the way lighting is configured in the specific workspace. Verify if the world settings align with the other workspaces. It could also be worth resetting the workspace to default settings if inconsistencies persist.
For both issues, ensuring you have the latest version of both Blender and the Needle Engine Add-on might help resolve any underlying bugs. To troubleshoot further:
Check for updates to the Addon.
Look for any logs under Help > Needle > Log in Blender, as they might provide insights into what could be going wrong.
If problems persist, consider sharing the logs for more detailed troubleshooting.
For your setup:
Blender version: 4.2.6.
Addon version: 0.52.5.
Have you installed Node.js (preferably v20 or later)?
This additional information can help pinpoint any version-specific issues.
Feel free to ask more specific questions, or provide the logs if you’d like further help!
