Question to John Lauer:

What graphic engine do you use?
I’m writing a small app that need 3D and I really enjoy the way Chillippr responds. Is it some library I can buy somewhere?

Thanks.

It’s free. It’s three.js and is the MOST popular 3D Javascript library out there.

However, I did a lot of work to get it to perform correctly. Biggest critical item was the wake/sleep I created for the 3D viewer so your browser didn’t peg your CPU at 100% like almost all other three.js websites do.

Why don’t you just make your site as a ChiliPeppr workspace and then you don’t really have to recreate the 3D viewer. Just inject stuff into it the way the Auto-Level or Eagle BRD or SVG to Gcode widgets do.

Thanks John. In fact, I was naivly hoping it would be available for windows C# apps.
I you happen to have any suggestion.

Thanks anyway!

Yeah, just build your app in the browser then use http://electron.atom.io/ or better yet, just leave it in the browser like ChiliPeppr does cuz that makes people’s ability to use it way easier than dealing with an install.
