    Drawing Optics
AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around finding a website or software that allows users to create optics setups, including components like lasers and mirror mounts, with basic light tracing capabilities. The original poster recalls that the tool was free and likely utilized WebGL, suggesting the THREE.js module as a potential option. There is also a suggestion that the thread may be better suited for a computer science or programming forum if the tool isn't specifically optics-related. Overall, the focus is on identifying the right software for drawing optics configurations. The conversation emphasizes the need for clarity on the specific tool used previously.

TL;DR Summary
optics setup drawing
Some time ago, I drew a simple drawing. But now I can't remember how I drew it. Did I use a software or a website?
I remember I could choose some optics components, like the small laser in the image, the mirror mount, etc.
It can do basic light tracing.
It was free.

I'm pretty sure WebGL (Javascript) is up to the task. Specifically you might look into the THREE.js module. On the other hand it sounds like you're searching for a particular piece of software. Anyway, good luck.

EDIT: BTW, ATT: moderators. This thread should probably be moved to the computer science/programming forum if the tool in question isn't directly optics-related that is.
