I'm very excited for this to land in Needle Engine.
It makes responsive timeline animations super easy and artist friendly. You can visually setup view-boxes + control animation based on HTML elements on screen.

We still have some work to do until it's ready but it's already very promising! #three

Some recent paintings... Last one (the frog) just finishing up. All #gouache. I'm glad i started doing this again - to process feelings or to calm down.

Loved @xr-architect.bsky.social demo and added my own twist with Needle Engine's facefilter package

1) Take a Model or Texture
2) Paste into HTML
3) Done

Here's a minimal HTML example in a few lines (works for 2d and 3d filters). See github for the full docs

Updated the facefilter package today with examples for blend shapes and sunglass-filters.

Hint: it's a one-line integration and #oss

github.com/needle-engin...

Also added a bunch of @stackblitz.com examples to dive right in.
