PhonoBaby Changelog

All notable changes to PhonoBaby are documented here. Format: [version] - date → Added / Changed / Fixed

[1.4.0] - 2026-07-23

Added

  • Rendering Room (admin) — studio 3D renderer for any pendant with material skins, background presets, camera angles, lighting control, and high-resolution PNG capture
  • Admin pendant gallery — browse every caged pendant, inspect it in 3D, and download the STL
  • Embossed ID tag on every pendant — each caged pendant now carries a permanent phonobaby.com/<id> URL raised in relief on its bottom plate, so every printed piece links back to its sculpture
  • Short-link resolution — the embossed URL (/p/<shortId>) redirects to the sculpture's public share page
  • Procedural Cherry Wood skin in the Rendering Room — real wood grain (color + bump + roughness) wrapped around the pendant for an authentic turned-wood finish
  • Polished Gold & Brushed Gold skins in the Rendering Room for jewelry-grade metallic looks

Changed

  • Rendering Room now generates cylindrical UVs on exported STL geometry so textures map onto pendant surfaces

Fixed

  • Hardened the pendant STL exporter against a buffer-overflow crash on indexed sculpture geometry (forced non-indexed merge with a guarded triangle count)

[1.3.1] - 2026-07-22

Changed

  • Renamed the "Sonic Reliquary" feature to "Pendant For Your Object" across the save flow and cage spec callout for clearer, friendlier language
  • Improved readability of the cage picker in the save modal — larger, high-contrast heading; clearer "Required" badge; bigger card labels and dimension text; brighter "Selected" badge

Added

  • Pendant STL download is now available directly from the full-screen immersive gallery (previously only on the profile viewer and side gallery), so every place you view a sculpture offers the pendant file
  • Updated help & FAQ documentation to cover pendants, the recreation player, and community sharing

[1.3.0] - 2026-07-22

Added

  • Pendant For Your Object — choose a decorative cage (Heart, Teardrop, or Geodesic Sphere) to house your vocal sculpture for wearable 3D printing
    • Procedural lattice cages engineered to jewelry-printing standards: 44.5 mm outer height, ~38 mm inner cavity, 1.8 mm wire diameter (resin-optimized), 4 mm bail eyelet
    • Sculpture is automatically scaled and merged inside the selected cage, exported as a ready-to-print STL
    • Live 3D cage previews in the save flow — rotate to inspect, download a cage STL before committing
  • Recreation view — re-simulate any saved sculpture forming in real time from its original recorded audio, with scrub, seek, and scratch playback controls
  • Immersive gallery — full-screen sculpture viewer with static 3D model and recreation toggle, inline audio player, thumbnail navigation, and share
  • Community gallery opt-in — choose to display your sculpture's thumbnail and 3D view publicly (audio always stays private)
  • Share audio toggle (Unlimited subscribers) — optionally include the original recording on your public share page
  • Color & lighting controls in the fullscreen 3D viewer — choose sculpture color and brightness
  • Onboarding — welcome modal and interactive product tour for first-time visitors
  • Post-purchase credit claiming — purchased credits are automatically applied to your account after checkout
  • Pendant STL and OBJ downloads surfaced across the profile viewer, side gallery, and immersive gallery

Changed

  • Save flow now guides you through title, cage selection, review, and export as three clear steps
  • Share page rebuilt with a mode toggle between the static model and the live recreation
