TL;DR
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.

Discussion

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.
