I am pleased to inform you that a significant milestone for the AB4D company has been reached: as of today, we provide 3D graphics support for all platforms, including the browser.
Today, the first public beta version of the Ab4d.SharpEngine.Web library has been published on NuGet. Also, the source for the demo project has been published on GitHub. You can also check the live demo.
Here is a screenshot of the demo:
Because the Ab4d.SharpEngine.Web library is using the same source code as the Ab4d.SharpEngine (using linked files), all the implemented classes use the same names and have the same properties and methods. This means that you can reuse the existing code from the desktop and mobile apps and use it for the browser. An exception is the features that are not yet supported in the web library. You can see the currently supported features on Roadmap and Implementation details.
The current demo demonstrates how to utilize Blazor WebAssembly to display 3D graphics in the browser. But because the Blazor project was created as a Progressive Web App (PWA; when creating a new project, check that the required CheckBox for PWA), the web application can also be installed on Windows, Android and iOS systems as a local app that can be started offline (without an internet connection). You can try this with the demo app. Developing PWA applications also provides an additional option for developing for desktop or mobile platforms.
What is more, you can use the existing Ab4d.SharpEngine license also allows you to develop for the browser.
Therefore, I would really like to invite you to check the new library. Please report any issues or recommendations to the GitHub issues or use any other communication tool (email, feedback form).
