8th Wall a mis à jour son moteur de physique avec la sortie de Studio Runtime v2.0.0. Cette mise à jour apporte des performances plus rapides et plus fiables, ainsi que de nouveaux outils comme les "Kinematic Bodies" (KB) et une détection de collision à haute précision. Les KB permettent de créer des objets qui suivent un chemin précis tout en interagissant avec le monde physique.

With 8th Wall winding down, a lot of people are asking where their WebAR projects should go next. The good news? Zappar has some great options! Mattercraft is production-ready with a full 3D editor, real-time physics, and built-in VPS. 👩🏼‍💻 Prefer to code? Zappar’s Universal AR SDKs let you keep using your preferred engine/framework such as Unity, Three.js, PlayCanvas, but with Zappar’s tracking powering everything behind the scenes. Migrating from 8th Wall is far simpler than most expect. Bring over your assets and logic, then rebuild your scene using available templates and docs. I’ve broken down the whole process in the full tutorial over on Zappar's YouTube (linked below) and if you need help mapping out a migration, the team are always happy to support so just reach out!
