Show HN: Blender in WebAssembly

Category: devtools

Tags: webassembly, webgpu, blender, 3d-graphics, browser-based

Score: 8.0/10 (Innovation: 8, Technical: 9, Documentation: 3, Utility: 7)

This project compiles Blender, a complex 3D creation suite, to WebAssembly with a WebGPU backend, enabling the full Blender interface to run entirely in the browser. It is technically impressive due to the difficulty of porting such a large C/C++ application and leveraging modern web graphics APIs. It has significant potential for education and accessibility but currently lacks documentation.

Target audience: 3D artists, educators, and developers interested in WebAssembly and WebGPU
