Mattercraft

Summary

Mattercraft is a browser-based 3D development environment for creating interactive web experiences, including AR, VR, and WebXR content. Its visual editor lets users assemble environments, animations, and interfaces without hand-coding those elements. The platform is built with Three.js and includes live preview, a simulator, Havok physics, particle effects, and chroma key masking. It supports world-, face-, and image-tracked AR, plus headset content for Apple Vision Pro, Meta Quests, Magic Leap, and Zapbox. Users can work with glTF and GLB models, edit with Monaco and TypeScript, and connect JavaScript libraries from NPM. Zapworks hosting enables one-click publishing without review waits. The Developer plan is 12.99 USD per month for non-commercial use; Pro is 315.00 USD per month for commercial use, and Enterprise pricing is custom. A 14-day trial covers Mattercraft and Zapworks tools and SDKs, but is not intended for public-facing projects. Developer has a 50,000-view fair-usage limit and Discord support; higher plans include email or priority support.
