How it works

Brigl is 100% pure javascript, with no server logic. The only thing stored on the server is the parts library, a set of small files with the 3d model of each piece. Any static server can be used, no need for php or other features!

When you ask Brigl to render an LDraw model, it fetches all needed parts and subparts from the server, and assemble the model in your browser memory. It then starts a WebGL context and renders your model!
