Beta version, NOT recommended for any commercial application.

Contributing (ongoing)

WebGPU is the latest technology in the web domain and will play a crucial role in terms of 3D rendering as well as AI/LLM scenarios.

We aim to create a dedicated technical community for the WebGPU field, bringing together outstanding developers.

Hope more and more front-end developers could stay updated with the latest Web technologies NOT ONLY image slicing for web design.

Specifically, we will continuously update the excellent samples provided by open-source contributors, allowing everyone to see better works.

Hope it could help highlight the very talented individual developers within the community!

Install

NPM

We recommend using front-end build tools for developing Web3D applications, such Vite or Webpack.

  • Install dependencies:
text
npm install @orillusion/core --save
  • Import on-demand:
javascript
import { Engine3D, Camera3D } from '@orillusion/core'
  • Import globally:
javascript
import * as Orillusion from '@orillusion/core'

CDN

In order to use the engine more conveniently, we support to use native <script> tag to import Orillusion. Three different ways to import using the official CDN link:

  • Global Build: You can use Orillusion directly from a CDN via a script tag:
html
<script src="https://unpkg.com/@orillusion/core/dist/orillusion.umd.js"></script> <script> const { Engine3D, Camera3D } = Orillusion </script>

The above link loads the global build of Orillusion, where all top-level APIs are exposed as properties on the global Orillusion object.

  • ESModule Build: We recommend using the ESModule way for development. As most browsers have supported ES module, we just need to import the ES build version of orillusion.es.js
html
<script type="module"> import { Engine3D, Camera3D } from "https://unpkg.com/@orillusion/core/dist/orillusion.es.js" </script>
  • Import Maps: In order to manage the name of dependencies, we recommend using Import Maps
html
<!-- Define the name or address of ES Module --> <script type="importmap"> { "imports": { "@orillusion/core": "https://unpkg.com/@orillusion/core/dist/orillusion.es.js" } } </script> <!-- Customerized names could be imported --> <script type="module"> import { Engine3D, Camera3D } from "@orillusion/core" </script>

Usage

Create Engine3D instance

At the beginning, we need to use Engine3D.init() and then the instance Engine3D will be created for further use

javascript
import { Engine3D } from '@orillusion/core' Engine3D.init().then(()=>{ // Next })

As Engine3D.init() is asynchronous, we recommend using async/await in the code

javascript
import { Engine3D } from '@orillusion/core' async function demo(){ await Engine3D.init(); // Next } demo()

Create canvas

In default, Engine3D.init()will create a canvas the same size with the window. Also, we could create a canvas manually using tag <canvas> with a id

html
<canvas id="canvas" width="800" height="500" />

Next, we need to get the <canvas> via id and then init engine by passing the <canvas> to canvasConfig

javascript
import { Engine3D } from '@orillusion/core'; let canvas = document.getElementById('canvas') await Engine3D.init({ canvasConfig: { canvas } })
