Every studio update, newest first. Small fixes are grouped; anything that changes how a dot looks is called out.
Now
1.0 — Public launch
Twenty-six forms across classics, animals and fantasy friends, with boy and girl styling in the form step.
Twelve finishes, including four fabric finishes with real surface displacement (short plush, long plush, wool felt, velvet).
Thirty looks, anchored to the character surface so hats and clips fit every silhouette.
Two exports: a transparent 1024 × 1024 PNG with no floor shadow, and a single-file 3D page you can spin.
Share links that carry the entire character in the URL.
Gallery characters load into the studio in one click.
0.9 — Finishes and looks
Split the single “material” control into twelve distinct finishes, each with its own roughness, sheen and reflection behaviour.
Added glass and chrome, including a studio environment built by hand so metal reflects something other than flat white.
Reworked the panda, fox, butterfly and scallop forms, which previously read as generic blobs.
Anchored eyewear and headbands to the head radius so they stop floating on narrow or wide forms.
Long plush is thinned automatically on small screens to keep the frame rate comfortable.
0.8 — First playable studio
Real-time 3D preview with drag to spin, scroll to zoom and double-click to reset.
Idle animation: gentle breathing and an occasional blink, so the character never looks frozen.
Sixteen-colour palette plus a custom colour field, with darker accent shades derived per colour.
First eleven classic forms and the transparent PNG export.
0.5 — Prototype
A dot in a browser: one round body, one light, one colour. Enough to prove that a code-built character could look like a toy.
Dates are publication dates of each release of the public studio. Character designs you export are never changed by an update — a dot you downloaded stays exactly as you downloaded it.
