Note that I sent a sneak preview of this news using Patreon Quip earlier this week. I plan to experiment with Quips more in the future. The "quips" are visible to everyone, you can install the Patreon mobile app to get notifications about them, or just vi

We support now visible field on various X3D nodes: Inline node. This is TInlineNode when looking at the graph from Pascal. and on all X3DGroupingNode descendants, including Transform and Group. These are TAbstractGroupingNode, TTransformNode, TGroupNode i

Rendering to texture (FBO, our TGLRenderToTexture) works now on the web. This enables a few features on the web: Water, with reflections and waves, visible in the terrain demo (source code in examples/terrain/) is correct now on the web. Screen (Post-Proc

We have a new example: Music Player, a simple application that allows to play a chosen audio track with UI similar to typical mobile music/audiobook players. This example has a nice backstory: For Mother's Day (which is 26th May in Poland) my daughter and

Shaders on web fixes: Our shaders on the web platform can render now all our effects: Bump mapping (normal maps). As shown by demos: bump_mapping (source code). creature_behaviors (source code). third_person_navigation (source code). game_3d_sound (source
