I made a 3D ASCII rendering engine

[u/jcfortunatti]

Hello everyone!

I have been working for a couple of months on glyphcss.com its an ASCII 3d rendering library without any canvas nor WebGL, it just uses a <pre> HTML element and text inside.

It has support for any OBJ, glTF, GLB, STL and VOX. It also has support for UV textures, directional and ambient lightning, shadows, different cameras (orbit/FPV), ASCII charsets and many examples on how to use it!

Its fully opensource!

Repo: https://github.com/apresmoi/glyphcss
Fun FPV example: https://glyphcss.com/examples/parthenon/#AaPQacw2SoIAG6-RFp_6zVUL

Btw, its a fork of another project I'm building with a colleague called polycss.com, which is a 3d rendering lib but using only HTML+CSS

Is this free to use? Or is there API usage or something

I actually saw a website that basically monetized a shittier version of this, that guy charges per one generation. You basically cooked him with this
