By Technology

Three.js

67

The most widely used open-source JavaScript 3D engine for browser-based configurators. Lightweight, flexible, and integrates with frameworks like React, Vue, or custom CMS backends.

Babylon.js

13

High-performance WebGL engine with a robust editor, physics, and PBR material system. Often used for interactive product experiences and games.

custom WebGL

13

Proprietary or in-house developed engine using raw WebGL APIs or a minimal abstraction for tailored configurators.

Verge3D

8

Built on top of Three.js, offering a visual logic editor and easy integration with Blender, 3ds Max, and Maya. Common for CPQ and eCommerce configurators.

PlayCanvas

5

WebGL engine focused on real-time performance and collaboration. Runs fully in the browser, suited for gaming and high-speed visualization.

Sketchfab

5

3D model hosting and embedding platform. Limited configurator features, but often used for basic 3D product previews.

Unreal Engine Pixel Streaming

4

Used for cloud-based 3D rendering streamed to the browser, allowing ultra-realistic configurators without local rendering load.

The next-generation API beyond WebGL, enabling higher-performance rendering pipelines. Used experimentally in modern engines.

Unity WebGL

2

Cross-platform game engine exported to WebGL for browser use. Heavy but capable of complex 3D and AR configurators.
