With Needle Engine, you can create fully interactive 3D websites using your favorite framework.

Projects created with Needle Engine can be deployed anywhere on the web and get optimized automatically by our state of the art optimization pipeline with automatic LOD support – reducing asset size by up x100 without compromising quality.

Needle Engine is available as a package for Unity, add-on for Blender, a ready-to-go Web Component, or as a npm package for projects without an editor integration.

Code Editor and Tools

Install a code editor

Needle Engine makes it easy to build web apps. That often, but not always, includes coding with JavaScript/TypeScript or writing HTML and CSS to describe user interfacces. We recommend Visual Studio Code for creating and editing these files. It's a free, open-source code editor that runs on Windows, macOS, and Linux.
