Hi everyone! Ever exported a .glb or .fbx and wished you could quickly stage it, tweak lighting, pose it, or show it in AR on your phone without opening a full desktop DCC—or paying for a cloud viewer subscription? I built babalon JS, a free and open-source 3D scene composer that runs entirely in your browser (and works 100% offline as an installed Chrome PWA). 🔗 Web App: https://holondo.github.io/babalonJS/ 📦 Source Code: https://github.com/holondo/babalonJS Highlights for 3D Artists: Blender Muscle Memory on Desktop, Touch-First on Mobile: Supports Tab (Object / Mesh mode), G / R / S (with X/Y/Z axis locks and numeric input), Shift+A (quick shapes), and face selection tools (Lasso, Paint Brush with depth occlusion, Magic Wand, Plane Cut, Sculpt brushes, Boolean Union/Subtract/Intersect via Manifold, and Shrinkwrap). Video-Game Style Photo Mode: Frame your shot (16:9, Cinema, 4:5, 9:16), tap to set Depth of Field focus, tweak FOV, exposure, bloom, vignette, chromatic aberration, film grain, and studio lighting presets, and snap a crisp 2× resolution render. Auto-Rigging, IK Posing & 43 Built-in Animations: Have an unrigged character? Drop markers in front view and compute heat-diffusion or envelope skin weights in a background worker (with optional trunk protection & helper bones). Have a rigged character (Blender/Rigify, Mixamo, VRM, Unreal)? Pose it with two-bone IK and mirror tools, or retarget 43 bundled CC0 animations in one tap. Inspect & Optimize Topology: Check triangle/VRAM budgets, decimate meshes with meshoptimizer, bake normal maps from the high-poly onto the low-poly mesh, compress textures to KTX2, and export a compact .glb. WebXR AR (Chrome / ARCore) & Gyro Mode: Place your full multi-object scene on a real surface at 1:1 scale with contact shadows and room light estimation. Measure & Align: Surface-snapping tape measure (straight line or geodesic along the mesh surface) + Figma-style smart guides. https://preview.redd.it/q17zllwxw8wh1.png?width=1080&format=png&auto=webp&s=770bb6df91a979e9464186a27ec4410a2b9bf93d Everything runs locally on your device—your models are never uploaded to any server. Let me know what you think!   submitted by   /u/holond0 [link]   [comments]
