Creating spatial experiences for the web was never so fast and powerful. Bring your 3D content to everyone, on any device, with Needle Engine and our integrations for Unity and Blender.

Start with Needle today. Choose your workflow:

Needle Engine builds on modern web technologies and toolchains. This makes iteration fast – you see changes in your browser in seconds.

Focus on your content instead of fighting with technology.

With Needle, you can combine 3D scenes with responsive and accessible HTML. You can use any front-end or full-stack framework, or just plain HTML and CSS.

For a lot of frontend and fullstack frameworks, we provide samples to get you started:

Modern applications require a lot of building blocks. Needle provides dozens of core components out of the box that cover common interactions and functionality.

Our Everywhere Actions go even further – they work literally everywhere, including AR on iOS and visionOS, where no custom code can be used.

Bring beautiful lighting to the web. Use the powerful lightmapping tools inside the Unity Editor or Blender, and export them with Needle.

Needle supports the full PBR (physically-based rendering) workflow, including sophisticated effects like transmission, sheen, anisotropy and more.

Custom shaders allow you to create your own style, and can be exported directly from Unity's Shader Graph. Work with textures, subgraphs, noise, vertex offsets & custom code.

We efficiently compress models, textures and animations for optimal performance, even on low-end devices. At runtime, your content loads in parts, to keep wait times short and pages snappy.

You decide how your content is split up into individual interactive 3D files and scenes. It's easy to load them only when you need them.

Everything works across devices: desktops, phones, VR, AR, you name it. We make sure your users have the best experience anywhere.

New platforms and devices are supported out of the box, due to the power the web – including Apple Vision Pro, Quest 3, and future devices.

Create anything from product configurators to sandbox games. Use all the capabilities of the modern web. Thousands of spatial websites are already powered by Needle.

Build collaborative apps without friction. Switch to more advanced networking solutions when you actually need them.

Networking capabilities are included at no additional cost. Persistent rooms, avatar synchronization, and voice-over-IP just work.

Many core components support multi-user scenarios, and we provide many samples to get you started.

Needle has a vibrant community of creators, artists, and developers. Join us! We're excited to see what you build.
