Notes

We're now approaching a stable release, and so our focus turns to reliability. As ever work continues behind the scenes, but the next couple of releases will focus on bug fixes in order to ensure the next stable release goes as smoothly as possible.

This release adds a new example Cellf Defense which uses the Multiplayer feature for a live online game. We've also added the ability to set back face culling at runtime for the 3D Shape object. There's also a few bug fixes, and in particular a few problems with the new script "before/afterdraw" events have been resolved. Happy testing!

  • A renderer change made in this update seems to have fixed a major z-order bug that occurred with WebGL contexts on AMD RDNA1 cards! This is amazing news, thank you for the update!

      I'm afraid I've no idea what change could have been responsible for that. Graphics driver bugs can be highly unpredictable, and if the underlying graphics driver bug is not actually fixed, it's possible it could come back in a future release. The only way to make sure such issues are reliably solved is to report it to the graphics driver vendor.

  • Thanks for the face culling action.

    Nice to see a new example that uses the Multiplayer feature.

  • Is there any chance that the example using Three.js can be minified in advanced mode? Because I can't use that function, because it generates a black screen if exported in this export model, I tried to refactor all the .Js that I could, but three.module.js is huge and it was impossible for me :(

  • Quick turn around on the preset node folder bug, thanks!
