Hello,
I am a new Haxe user and like to use Haxe for 3D graphics.
Sandy3D is an easy to use 3D graphics library with many available
examples.
The Haxe port is available at:

How to compile Sandy3D for Haxe with HaxeDevelop or FlashDevelop?
Thanks in advance
Raphael

Hi Raphael,
If you are just starting out with Haxe I wonder whether Sandy3D is the best choice for 3D graphics. You may have noticed the repository has not been updated for 10 years.
Might I suggest exploring the following options to use with Haxe:
- [Away3D](https://github.com/openfl/away3d) - it features tight integration with OpenFL. It lacks import/display support for glTF and does not support AR/VR. Cross platform. I use this.
- [Heaps3D](https://heaps.io/) - In active development and often used for game development. It lacks import/display support for glTF and does not support AR/VR. Cross platform.
- [Three.js](https://threejs.org/examples/) - Only HTML5/Javascript support. It is more complex to set up with Haxe and externs but is very actively developed and has support for glTF, AR, VR. I use this.
- [Armory3D](https://armory3d.org/engine/) - Full game engine designed to integrate with Blender. Uses Haxe and Kha. Cross platform.

I should mention that [BabylonJS](https://github.com/BabylonJS/Babylon.js/tree/master) is a capable alternative to Three.js in JavaScript and they both support gaussian splatting, which is an important technology these days. I’ve not tried it.

There should be a medal for whoever came up with that name 😁
