CrewHub v0.13.0 Released — Creator Zone MVP + 211 Example Props

🎉 CrewHub v0.13.0 — Creator Zone MVP + Design Showcase

We’re excited to announce CrewHub v0.13.0 with major new features for creativity and productivity!


🌟 Highlights

1. Creator Zone MVP 🎨

The first step toward AI-powered 3D content creation is here:

PropMaker (First Release!)

  • Generate 3D props from text prompts using AI
  • Click PropMaker bot → fullscreen workspace (50/50 split layout)
  • Real-time thinking process visualization (SSE streaming)
  • Generation history with preview gallery
  • AI prompt templates and examples
  • ⚠️ Note: Can’t place props in rooms yet, but the foundation is solid!

PropMaker Quality Improvements (3 Phases Shipped!)

We didn’t just ship a basic prototype — we immediately followed up with three major quality improvements:

  • Phase 1: Material system rewrite (meshStandardMaterial + flatShading), AI prompt optimization, post-processor pipeline, showcase library API
  • Phase 2: 7-component library (LED, SteamParticles, GlowOrb, Cable, DataStream, Screen, RotatingPart), multi-pass generation (4 passes: base → details → polish → validate), visual refinement UI
  • Phase 3: Iteration system (natural language feedback like “make it more colorful”), style transfer (apply showcase prop styles), hybrid generation (template + AI), prop genetics (crossbreed props), quality scorer (0-100 with improvement suggestions)

The result: PropMaker can now generate complex, animated props with emissive materials, particle effects, and detailed components.


2. PropCreator Design Showcase 🎨

211 high-quality example props across 7 themed categories to show what’s possible:

Categories:

  • General (30 props) — Everyday objects, furniture, decor
  • Office (31 props) — Desks, chairs, office equipment
  • Tech & Developer (30 props) — Servers, monitors, keyboards, cables
  • Creative & Art (30 props) — Easels, cameras, 3D printers, paint supplies
  • Gaming & Entertainment (30 props) — Controllers, arcade machines, vinyl players
  • Science & Lab (30 props) — Microscopes, oscilloscopes, centrifuges, beakers
  • Workshop & Tools (30 props) — Saws, drills, toolboxes, welders

Access: Click the golden pedestal in Creator Center room to open fullscreen showcase

Quality Standards: All props feature low-poly toon style, animations, emissive materials, 5-10 mesh parts

Highlights:

  • LED Matrix Display — Animated dot matrix with scrolling patterns
  • Oscilloscope — Real oscilloscope trace animation with glowing screen
  • Centrifuge — Spinning rotor with sample tubes
  • Circular Saw — Rotating blade with danger warnings
  • And 207 more beautifully crafted examples!

The showcase serves as both inspiration for users and a quality baseline for AI-generated props. Every prop demonstrates what’s achievable with the system.


3. Markdown Editing 📝

Built-in markdown viewer/editor with CodeMirror 6:

  • Split pane — Edit on left, live preview on right
  • Auto-save — 2.5s debounce, changes saved automatically
  • Workspace integration — Open agent workspace files or project docs
  • Demo content — Sample docs included to get started
  • Keyboard shortcuts — Standard editor shortcuts (Cmd+S force save, etc.)

No more switching to external editors. Edit task descriptions, project docs, and notes directly in CrewHub.


📦 Also Included

Team Hierarchy Visualization

  • New Org Chart tab in HQ shows your full team structure
  • Color-coded model badges (Opus/Sonnet/GPT-5.2)
  • Visual tree layout with agent icons
  • See reporting relationships at a glance

Fullscreen Detail Views

  • Activity and Sessions panels now have fullscreen mode
  • History controls: filter, sort, autoscroll
  • Better for reviewing long session logs

Agent Persona Tuning

  • Customize agent behavior with presets
  • Fine-tune traits: autonomous vs. cautious, detailed vs. concise
  • Save custom persona profiles

Prop Movement (Experimental)

  • Drag and position generated props in 3D space
  • Still experimental with rough edges (sluggish movement, refresh on save)
  • Improvements coming in v0.14.0

Infrastructure

  • Backend watchdog (auto-restart on crash)
  • Numerous spacing/polish improvements
  • Theme color consistency fixes
  • Zen Mode CSS variable cleanup
  • Demo content for all features (tasks, props, docs)

🐛 Known Issues

  • Theme inconsistencies between World and Zen Mode (planned for v0.14.0)
  • Prop movement/saving could be smoother
  • Large showcase galleries may have performance impact
  • See full list in CHANGELOG.md

🚀 What’s Next

v0.14.0 and beyond will bring:

  • Agent Identity Pattern — Single identity across multiple surfaces (prevent personality drift)
  • Spatial Awareness — Vision, proximity detection, pathfinding (multi-phase research)
  • Stand-up Meetings Phase 1 — Daily team check-ins with UX + backend
  • Skills Onboarding — Improved guidance for configuring agent skills
  • HQ Visual Redesign — Make HQ the true command center
  • More polish and refinements

🎯 Why This Matters

CrewHub is about making AI agent work visible and tangible. With v0.13.0, we’re expanding that vision:

  • PropMaker lets you create the world your agents inhabit
  • Design Showcase demonstrates quality standards and creative possibilities
  • Markdown Editing brings documentation into the flow
  • Team Hierarchy visualizes organizational structure

It’s not just about monitoring agents anymore. It’s about building a creative workspace where humans and AI collaborate.
