EaselJS Alternative for CreateJS Searchers
People searching for EaselJS usually land on the CreateJS 2D display-list library. EASEL.js targets a different job: browser-side 3D scenes, painter-sorted rasterization, and Canvas2D output without WebGL.

What changes if you switch?
Instead of sprites and a retained-mode 2D stage, you work with Scene, Mesh, Camera, Material, and Geometry.
The output stays in Canvas2D, but the pipeline is a CPU rasterizer built for polygons, affine UV mapping, flat or Gouraud shading, and software-rendering experiments.
- THREE.js-style scene graph API
- Canvas2D framebuffer upload, no WebGL
- Examples with side-by-side EASEL.js and THREE.js code
Who this is for
EASEL.js fits teams building retro 3D demos, CPU-rendered experiments, software-rasterizer tutorials, or constrained rendering playgrounds in the browser.
- Retro rendering and RuneTek-style constraints
- Educational graphics pipelines
- Canvas-native 3D experiments
