For my hobby project World of Wonders I made an application that could generate pictures as if they were made ingame. The important thing was that this could be done serverside. Another server needs to be able to make a request with the ride, the persons in the ride and their positions, the output is a base64 image. Using the JavaScript library ThreeJS, which enables 3D rendering inside the HTML canvas, and the request handing library ExpressJS I got it to work for production.
My first attempt was to make this program in Unity. Unfortunately I wasn’t able to get the program running on a server, which meant I needed to use another technology. Besides the serverside rendering I got the making of pictures working in Unity.
The different rides also needed different models and covers. The models are made by BOXjordiHEAD, another volunteer for World of Wonders. The covers were made by me, using the pixelart program Aseprite.
