Project mention: Show HN: Spark, An advanced 3D Gaussian Splatting renderer for Three.js | news.ycombinator.com | 2025-06-11
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?

icosa-gallery
Icosa Gallery is a 3D model hosting solution, intended as a replacement for Google's Poly
Icosa Gallery - https://github.com/icosa-foundation/icosa-gallery
A Google Poly replacement with ambitions beyond that. 3D model hosting, viewing, sharing with simple self-hosting and (eventually) federation. An API that's 99% compatible with the Google Poly API means it's easy to revive integrations that used to support Poly. We're also got a dataset that we've cleaned up from Internet Archive scrapes restoring nearly all of the original collection. (about 150,000 models)
Looking for help with the three.js viewer/editor, help with fediverse support, Django database or OAuth experts. And of course documentation, testing, design, ux and everything else.
And anyone with their own project that would benefit from integrating with us.
Stack: Vanilla javascript / HTMX, Django, Postgres, three.js and GLTF
Suitable for any skill levels.
