blend4web

An official repository for Blend4Web WebGL engine (free version).

Blend4Web is a tool for creating interactive, web-based 3D content. The framework can be used for showcasing products, e-learning, game development, advertising and web design.

• It works right in the web browser without installing any plug-ins (thanks to WebGL);
• Not only does it render 3D graphics but it also integrates realistic physics and spatial audio;
• It is extremely simple to use because it is based on Blender in which 3D scenes can be made and then directly exported, even as a standalone web page;
• It is available as a fully functional open source version or as under a paid commercial license.
• It does not depend on any non-free components or cloud services.

Usage

Using built version (ES5)

1. Include b4w.min.js, b4w.simple.min.js or b4w.whitespace.min.js into your html-file:

   <script src="node_modules/blend4web/dist/b4w.min.js"></script>
   

2. Use b4w global variable in your script:

   b4w.register("simple_app_es5", function(exports, require) {
       // import modules used by the app
   
       var m_app       = b4w.require("app");
       var m_cfg       = b4w.require("config");
       var m_data      = b4w.require("data");
       var m_preloader = b4w.require("preloader");
       var m_ver       = b4w.require("version");
       var m_anim      = b4w.require("animation");
       ...
   }
   
   b4w.require("simple_app_es5").init();
   

Using ES6 module

1. Include your javascript ES6 module into html:

   <script type="module" src="simple_app.js"></script>
   

2. Use b4w variable from blend4web module:

   import b4w from "blend4web";
   var m_app       = b4w.app;
   var m_cfg       = b4w.config;
   var m_data      = b4w.data;
   var m_preloader = b4w.preloader;
   var m_ver       = b4w.version;
   var m_anim      = b4w.animation;
   var m_cont      = b4w.container;
   var m_mouse     = b4w.mouse;
   var m_scenes    = b4w.scenes;
   ...
   

3. Use builders like webpack, rollup to run your application.
