LiAg

What LiAg is

LiAg is open-source software for modeling and rendering 3D avatars in a web-based editor. Its component selector and pose editor support avatar creation, and users can export models as STL files for 3D printing. The project is implemented with React.js and WebGL and is listed under the MIT license. LiAg is free, and commercial use is allowed. The README lists macOS, Linux, Windows 11, and Android tablets as compatible platforms; it also says iOS support is not planned. The listed requirements are Node.js v26.2.0, React.js 19.2.6, and three.js 0.184.0. Setup involves cloning the repository, running npm commands to build the software, and serving the build. The README lists version 2.3.1. A desktop release using Electron remains a TODO, so the described workflow is web based rather than a released desktop app.

Who it suits

LiAg suits people who want a free, web-based avatar modeling tool and need STL output for 3D printing. It may also suit developers comfortable with the listed requirements and build steps.

Limits

The documented platform support excludes iOS, and an Electron desktop release is still listed as a TODO. STL is the listed export format.

Getting started

1. Use a compatible macOS, Linux, Windows 11, Android tablet, or web environment
2. Install Node.js v26.2.0, React.js 19.2.6, and three.js 0.184.0
3. Clone the LiAg repository
4. Run the npm commands from the installation instructions to build it
5. Serve the generated build
6. Open the web-based modeler and use the component selector or pose editor

Verdict

LiAg offers web-based avatar modeling with a pose editor and STL export, at no listed cost. Check its platform compatibility and build requirements before choosing it.
