This repository includes an example application built using blueprint3d:

What is this?

This is a customizable application built on three.js that allows users to design an interior space such as a home or apartment. Below are screenshots from our Example App (link above).

  1. Create 2D floorplan:

floorplan

  1. Add items:

add_items

  1. Design in 3D:

3d_design

Developing and Running Locally

To get started, clone the repository and ensure you npm >= 3 and grunt installed, then run:

npm install
grunt

The latter command generates example/js/blueprint3d.js from src.

The easiest way to run locally is to run a local server from the example directory. There are plenty of options. One uses Python's built in webserver:

cd example

# Python 2.x
python -m SimpleHTTPServer

# Python 3.x
python -m http.server

Then, visit http://localhost:8000 in your browser.

Contribute!

This project requires a lot more work. In general, it was rushed through various prototype stages, and never refactored as much as it probably should be. We need your help!

Todos

  • More complete documentation (based on the TypeDoc comments)
  • Test suite (e.g. jasmine)
  • Make it easier to build a complete application using blueprint3d (cleaner API, more inclusive base, easier integration with a backend)
  • Better serialization format for saving/loading "designs"
  • Remove the dependency on jquery from the core source!
  • Better use of npm conventions and packaging
  • Various bug fixes
  • refactor three/* - use of classes, lambdas
  • update to current threejs
  • introduce a more formal persistency format
  • put all relevant settings into Core.Configuration to make them read-/writeable, User settings?
  • complete type docs for all entities
  • there're a few TODO_Ekki's left, kill them all

Directory Structure

src/ Directory

The src directory contains the core of the project. Here is a description of the various sub-directories:

core - Basic utilities such as logging and generic functions

floorplanner - 2D view/controller for editing the floorplan

items - Various types of items that can go in rooms

model - Data model representing both the 2D floorplan and all of the items in it

three - 3D view/controller for viewing and modifying item placement

example/ Directory

The example directory contains an application built using the core blueprint3d javascript building blocks. It adds html, css, models, textures, and more javascript to tie everything together.
