Babylon.js

Open-source JavaScript and TypeScript 3D rendering engine for the web.

Babylon.js is a 3D rendering engine for the web, written in TypeScript and published as JavaScript packages. The README installs one npm package, and the CDN serves the packages directly. The project also publishes modular ES6 packages, such as the core package under the @babylonjs scope, for projects that bundle with tree shaking. The documentation covers the setup routes and the framework packages.

Worth knowing

The project’s own documentation says the CDN is for users learning the platform or running small experiments, and should not be used in production. Its packages index asks projects to pick one delivery method, since mixing two of the CDN, npm and ES6 packages fails.
