Hi everyone! 👋
I just published the first alpha release of Materia, a new 3D rendering library for Kotlin Multiplatform.
The goal is to be "the missing Three.js for KMP", giving you a familiar, high-level API for 3D graphics that runs on WebGPU (Web), Vulkan (Desktop/Android), and eventually Metal.
It’s designed for when you need high-performance 3D (data viz, configurers, embedded views) without the overhead of a full game engine.

Features:
• Three.js-compatible API (Scene, Mesh, StandardMaterial, etc.)
• Coroutines support for async asset loading (GLTF/OBJ)
• Unified codebase for JVM, JS, and Android
It's currently in v0.1.0-alpha02. I'd love for anyone interested in graphics to give it a spin and let me know if the API feels right!

Is the name inspired by final fantasy? 😄

[Yousef]

@Tgo1014 yup!

This means we could have a fully game engine built on top of this that just runs as it should without the bloat?

[Yousef]

@Lukas Anda I mean I don't see why not as it's strictly a rendering engine. I'll add physics in the future but other than that yes you should be able to.

Is there a web-based demo deployed somewhere?

[Yousef]

@Piotr Krzemiński coming soon to https://materia.yousef.codes/, I'll hopefully get it done this weekend
