Let me start by staying this project will be completely FOSS, fully offline and you're only going to need a 1.3MB html file (which you can build yourself from the repo) and the 3D model.

I made some progress changing the architecture to React and refactoring it.

I'll made a list of the most useful features to me:

  1. Personalized views
  2. Personalized view thumbnails (can upload your own)
  3. Different rendering styles (even though for now its just white/clay mode)
  4. Change camera between Orthographic, Perspective and 2-point Perspective. Modify the field of view
  5. Set shadow quality based on the performance of your system
  6. Choose between different HDRIs (or upload your own) for different lighting effects
  7. Walk in the scene with WASD and change the walking speed
  8. Add pins to meshes assigned an entity. The pins are fully customizable and can display any attribute of the entity that you like (including multiple). The pins are only visible when selecting a view, not during oribiting or walking around.
  9. Tag system that lets you tag meshes for different purposes, including visibility so that you can create your own orthographic view of a single space.
  10. UI visibility option. After you've set everything up, you can choose what to display
  11. Material editor. A simple material editor for quick fixes to your scene.
  12. Lock/Unlock orbiting/moving around
  13. Create physical lights when assigning a light entity to a mesh. You can control its intensity, color and position
  14. Highlight meshes that are assigned a sensor or binary sensor based on the status (The door will be highlighted in your chosen color when opened)
  15. Every change you make is saved within a view, so you can even personalize the background of each view.
  16. QoL improvements

Now I want to focus on the UI and it should be ready for deployment.

You can host this html even outside of home assistant, but you won't be able to access the 'More Info' menu. Toggle works fine.

Let me know your thoughts.

Sorry for the messy video. I was too lazy to edit it.

EDIT: Something very important I forgot. The project is optimized to work even on the most outdated devices. When idle, you only generate frames when home assistant updates the entitites (usually 4-5 fps). The resource usage is minimal.
