• Linked video demo in README.

2.0.0 — 2026-06-09

🚀 Breaking Changes / Major Updates

• Version 2.0.0 introduces optimized initial mesh loading and exclusive mesh grouping.

✨ New Features

• Initial Loading Meshes (initialLoadingMeshes): You can now provide a list of mesh names directly to ModelViewerProViewer. The viewer will use a whitelist to instantly hide all other meshes when the model loads, preventing any visual "pop-in" of unwanted meshes.
• Exclusive Meshes (setExclusiveMesh(group, selectedMesh)): A new controller method that ensures only one mesh from a specified group is visible at a time. Perfect for outfit switching!
• Grounded Mode Toggles: Grounded mode is now fully supported and easily togglable at runtime.

🛠 Improvements

• Code cleanups and formatting improvements.
• Added promotional assets (screenshots and video) for pub.dev.

1.0.3 — 2026-06-01

🚀 Breaking Changes

• Package renamed from model_viewer_pro_controller to model_viewer_pro. Update your import to package:model_viewer_pro/model_viewer_pro.dart. All class and method names are unchanged.

✨ New Features

• Grounded mode (ModelViewerProViewer.grounded) — projects the skybox onto a virtual ground plane for a realistic floor reflection, with smart automatic defaults for shadow intensity, camera orbit limits, and panning.
• Local asset skybox (skyboxImagePath) — load equirectangular images directly from the Flutter asset bundle (auto-encoded to base64 for WebView compatibility).
• Lighting controls — shadowIntensity, shadowSoftness, and exposure are now first-class constructor parameters on ModelViewerProViewer, watching for changes via didUpdateWidget.
• Interaction toggles — disablePan, disableZoom, disableTap, touchAction, maxCameraOrbit, and minCameraOrbit are all widget parameters with live didUpdateWidget support.
• AssetLoaderOperations mixin — loadSkyboxFromAsset() and loadEnvironmentFromAsset() encode any Flutter asset as a base64 data URI and inject it into the WebView for reliable cross-platform asset loading.
• setDisablePan / setDisableZoom / setDisableTap methods on ModelViewerProController.
• setSkyboxHeight / removeSkyboxHeight methods on ModelViewerProController.
• setTouchAction method on ModelViewerProController.
• executeCustomJS — run arbitrary JavaScript for one-off scene tweaks.
• takeScreenshot — capture the current frame as a PNG data URL.
• Shared _modelViewerProForceRender JS helper — all scene mutations now use a single, centralised render-trigger function (camera micro-move + autoRotate toggle + material needsUpdate flag) instead of duplicated inline code.

🛠 Improvements

• All Dart source files re-formatted to pass dart format with zero issues.
• Removed leftover console.log debug statements from injected JavaScript.
• Fixed if-without-braces lint warnings throughout viewer.dart.
• _encodeBase64 in AssetLoaderOperations replaced with dart:convert's base64Encode for correctness and performance.
• debugPrint prefix updated from model_viewer_pro_controller: to model_viewer_pro:.
• controller.dart internal helpers (_setAttribute / _removeAttribute) now return Future<bool> directly without unnecessary async wrapping.

⚠️ Deprecations

• environmentImageAsset widget param → use controller.loadEnvironmentFromAsset() inside onLoad.
• skyboxImageAsset widget param → use controller.loadSkyboxFromAsset() inside onLoad.
• environmentImage widget param → use environmentImageUrl.
• skyboxImage widget param → use skyboxImagePath.
• setEnvironmentImage() on controller → use setEnvironmentImageFromUrl().
• setSkyboxImage() on controller → use setSkyboxImageFromUrl().
