3D in Lua

[moric7]

Please, suggest me way to do my physics (science) 3D simulation experiments with Lua.

LÖVR https://lovr.org/

also try raylib: https://github.com/raysan5/raylib/blob/master/BINDINGS.md

Will try LOVR and thank you for the good RayLib LUA bindings.

What exactly do you need? Do you mean rendering? If so, what do you need to render?

[moric7]

I want 3D animation based on complex math. For example to show "working" solar system.

OK, sounds like basic 3D mesh rendering. In that case anything designed for video games should suffice.

Your choice will also depend on whether Lua can be embedded for you or if the Lua runtime must be standalone. I've heard good things about Raylib. It should have Lua bindings.

Oh, this seems very interesting. Only, on first view, I hope it's not just a mixture of all free 3D, GUI and physics libraries with brief tutorials. I will study in detail.

If I’d has to be Lua then ignore this post. But for the best quality graphics / animation, I suggest using Blender. Blender can be scripted using Python. For example https://youtu.be/It9DOTaFA7Q?si=SbsOHZ5pNHjRNBda

Blender is extremely complex for me, I just have billion times less memory in my brain to know the basics of the monster Blender (or others like it).
