The Babylon.js game engine is one of the best options for 3D web-based game development, either BabylonJS or the recently open sourced PlayCanvas game engine. This week the BabylonJS WebGPU/WebGL game engine got a major upgrade to one of its greatest weaknesses… a new level/world editor! The Babylon Editor enables you to not only create 3D worlds, but also handles project creation for you, greatly simplifying the getting started process.
The editor is free and open source and is available to download for Windows and Mac OS. Key features of the editor include:
Built-in Templates
Kickstart your development with built-in templates, including Next.js, SolidJS and Vanilla templates, allowing you to bypass the tedious setup process and dive straight into building your project.
