Space pirates has been released publicly just weeks ago. It’s been a fun journey. As usual, when I ship software, I only see the bugs, what we should have done, the failures … and it’s a bit more difficult to objectively appreciate what we have done. Let’s take a minute, be…

Today I wanted to talk about something a little different than usual. For once, I will not focus on the engine but on the underlying platform behind our Node Material Editor. Up until recently, the Node Material Editor was developed using a homemade node rendering system (built on top of…

Babylon.js is a powerful web-based graphics engine that allows its users to have a fully featured engine that can run on the browser. It provides lots of useful features, from rendering to physics, GUI, input, geometry, loading and so one. The goal for the Babylon Native project is to allow…

Almost exactly two years ago, to the day, I wrote an article about my plans for an upcoming change to device input in Babylon.js. This change would take the underlying system and replace it with one that could accept both Web-based and Native input. So, I’m happy to say that…
