Before you build
Planning something for an alternative to 3ds Max? See what exists first, so you can reuse parts or explain what's different. Paste this into any AI assistant:
Read the list of open-source alternatives at https://opensourceeverything.org/data/groups/3d.json. Compare it with my project or idea below. Tell me which projects overlap, what I could reuse instead of rewriting, and what mine does that none of them do.
