  Honestly, that still doesn't really answer my question. I can run OpenSCAD locally and there's never a lag like that when I pan/tilt/zoom the camera. I could understand if that lag occurs in this web app if OpenSCAD wasn't actually running in the browser but instead as an instance on a server, but the page you linked to doesn't state whether that's what's happening. Or maybe it's just an approach to "bake" the model into an image to save resources or prevent potential freezes? I'm not criticizing it but am just curious about the reasoning.

    For real this is almost unusable. Would be curious to see what's going on here, the rest of this tool looks well-designed.

      Quick check in the network tab shows that each camera move sends the full buffer and camera coords to some aws server where it spends a second rendering then comes back with an image. The JSCAD integration is however all in-browser and is far smoother. They should lead with it, IMO.

        That sounds unbelievably stupid. Why render 3D graphics on a server that has no hardware acceleration?

          that way you can use open source and don't share your code :)

      Could this be an older version? The current version should be: https://www.openjscad.xyz/ https://www.openjscad.xyz/
