WickedEngine VS engine

What about Wicked Engine?

Wicked Engine

Code base really small because it develop by solo developer with help from some volunteer contibutors. Support DirectX12 and Vulkan. There is editor for edit and save scene file but it's not finish yet so you have to mostly add features that you want by yourself beside rendering part. https://github.com/turanszkij/WickedEngine

I just ran across the Wicked Engine yesterday. It's C++, cross-platform, MIT licensed and works with both DX12 and Vulkan. I had missed it in numerous searches I had done previously, so raising it here as it seems to be easy to miss.

I'm not speaking out of my ass, either, I have very actively followed low-level development being done towards open-source engines such as Diligent and Wicked. I personally am a contributor to the latter engine, as well. It is baffling to me that independent developers don't support this platform.

If you want to make your own engine but you need modern advance graphic features out of box. I think Wicked Engine is a good choice. https://github.com/turanszkij/WickedEngine

BabylonJS and the OP's own Aframe [1] seem to have similar licenses, similar number of Github stars and forks, although Aframe seems newer and more game / VR focused.

How do Babylon, Aframe, Three.js, and PlayCanvas [2] compare from those that have used them?

IIUC, PlayCanvas is the most mature, featureful, and performant, but it's commercial. Babylon is the featureful 3D engine, whereas Three.js is fairly raw. Though it has some nice stuff for animation, textures, etc., you're really building your own kit.

Any good experiences (or bad) with any of these?

If you love building games, this one is for you. PlayCanvas is a WebGL and HTML5 game engine. Some of the web's most popular games have been built with PlayCanvas. The latest release has tonnes of breaking changes from removing WebGL1 support along with dozens of other legacy scripts and functions. There are also some new rendering features, materials, and blending tools. Dig into all the changes in the release notes.

For some reason that I cannot understand in my case the calculated shading normals are pixelated. Compared to playcanvas.com (probably a forward renderer), mine is like utter shit.

PlayCanvas has been using WordPress for 12 years now. Generally speaking, it's been fine. However, after much consideration, we have migrated away to Jekyll + GitHub Pages. I thought our experience might be of interest to other WordPress users (if only to confirm why you wouldn't consider switching): https://blog.playcanvas.com/moving-from-wordpress-to-jekyll-a-case-study/ Interested to hear peoples' thoughts...

It's just a cool tech demo that pushes CSS to its limits, but it's completely useless if you want to create usable 3d models. If you want to model in the browser, you can check out vectary, playcanvas, or spline

Hey, I do not have any experience with deepar.ai so I’m not super familiar with the process using that platform. In my opinion I’d probably recommend another platform to try and accomplish this. Since you mentioned that you have everything set up in a engine already (lens studio) I’d recommend you just use a webxr engine. In my experience the two best engines are https://playcanvas.com and https://wonderlandengine.com. I think that going down this route may be the best option for your needs. I am willing to help out or do some of the work for you just pm me if you have any questions or anything.

If you want the closest thing to Unity that's focused on browser-based (mobile and otherwise) development, try Playcanvas: https://playcanvas.com/
