This is a collection of cool 3D stuff made 100% in Elm.

Get inspired to play with these tools, build stuff and contribute to public libraries!

If you think that something is missing, you spotted a mistake or you have some feedback, send me a message or - even better - open an issue or send a pull request in this repository.

If you want to learn more about 3D Graphics in Elm, you can start reading the documentation of these libraries and joining the channels #webgl and #gamedev in the Elm Slack.

Enjoy! 🎉

Libraries

elm-3d-scene⬈ by Ian Mackenzie. This is a high-level Elm package for producing 3D Graphics, with support for lighting, shadows and realistic materials.
elm-physics⬈ by Andrey Kuzmin. Experimental toy physics engine.
webgl⬈ by Elm Explorations. A simple API for rendering with WebGL. This is useful for both 2D and 3D rendering because it lets you take advantage of hardware acceleration with the GPU, meaning you can render things more quickly. This library was created by Evan Czaplicki and John P Mayer, Jr. Andrey Kuzmin is now the main maintainer.
elm-geometry⬈ by Ian Mackenzie. This package provides a wide variety of geometric data types such as points, vectors, arcs, spline curves and coordinate frames, along with functions for transforming and combining them in many different ways.
elm-3d-camera⬈ by Ian Mackenzie. This package provides convenient ways to define and use perspective and orthographic cameras in 3D.
elm-obj-file⬈ by Andrey Kuzmin. An Elm package to decode 3D models from the OBJ file format. Helpful to create objects in Blender and render them with elm-3d-scene.
elm-playground-3d⬈ by Luca Mugnaini. A package to draw simple three-dimensional objects in SVG.
