I’m a beginner user and I’m having an issue with Needle Engine.
I’m using Blender 4.2.6 or 4.3.2 (same problem) with the latest version 0.52.4 and Node.js.
First, I set the Web Project Path, and then I click on Generate Web Project. However, I get many WARN deprecated messages and errors.
As a result, the output is just a white page.
Hello! To assist you better with the warnings and errors you’re encountering while using Needle Engine with Blender, I need to gather more specific information.
Please provide the log information from Blender, which you can access through the menu: Help > Needle > Logs. This will help in diagnosing the warnings and errors you mentioned.
Once I have the log details, I can help you further with troubleshooting the issue.

Hey, which version of nodejs are you currently using? You can see it with the command node -v or at the bottom of the Needle Engine panel in Blender
Hi, it seems like there was a bug in the publish process and an invalid version got published. I’m very sorry - a new version will be available shortly
Fantastic! Everything works perfectly!
I’d like to provide a small piece of feedback regarding the activation of the plugin in Blender.
Once the plugin is activated, I notice a slight increase in the overall response time in the viewport. For example, when I select and then delete an object, in this case, the second action takes longer than usual.
Great, good to hear.
Are you sure it’s related to the plugin? I can’t think of any code that runs by us that is related to the deletion of an object.
100% sure.
When I deactivate it, the viewport becomes more responsive. I might run some tests on other PCs with different graphics cards (I have an RTX 3080 with studio drivers).
Ok, thanks for the headsup (same here btw but I sometimes use it on my OSX m2 laptop too)
