MODELITO

The Future of Expressive 3D Design​

We're thrilled to introduce MODELITO, a powerful new language and framework designed to revolutionize how we create and manipulate 3D models and shaders. Born from a diverse international collaboration, MODELITO combines cutting-edge technology with a human-centered approach to 3D design.

Core Design Philosophy​

Self-Documenting by Design​

MODELITO's syntax is intentionally crafted to be intuitive and memorable, allowing developers to focus on creativity rather than syntax. Our design principles emphasize:

  • Developer Happiness: A joyful, flow-inducing development experience
  • Relationships Over Numbers: Focus on component relationships rather than raw coordinates
  • Progressive Complexity: From simple shapes to complex designs with ease
  • Composability: Components that work together seamlessly

Technical Excellence​

Advanced Architecture​

MODELITO leverages proven BREP kernels for precise geometric operations while providing a high-level abstraction layer. Our "explicit armatures" approach bridges the gap between basic shapes and complex designs through an intuitive structural skeleton system.

Cross-Platform Shader Support​

While GLSL is our primary target, MODELITO is designed with shader portability in mind, making it easy to work with WGLSL, HLSL, MSL, and other shader languages.

Our Values​

Technology with Purpose​

We believe in using technology to make a positive impact. MODELITO is being used for:

  • Medical applications like bone implants and prosthetics
  • Sustainable design and material optimization
  • Humanitarian engineering solutions
  • Custom manufacturing and digital fabrication

Inclusive Innovation​

MODELITO is proudly developed by an international team from Mexico, Norway, Italy, and the USA. We're committed to building an inclusive community that welcomes creators from all backgrounds.
