A 3D optics simulator (lenses, mirrors etc.) - https://opticsketch.github.io/opticsketch/.

I sometimes need to have a quick but realistic model of an optical system without paying a few thousand for some of the well known commercial offerings, so I've been building this.


I have no practical use for this but I want to play with it anyway. Looks cool.

Thanks. There is a free demo that would be good just for playing around with the basics. https://opticsketch.github.io/opticsketch/downloads.html.

It's not signed yet, but I have included the results of a Hybrid-Analysis scan and I am verified by Lemon Squeezy for the full version.

I wanted a tool for quickly setting up and simulating optical systems in 3D, so I built this.

It currently supports multiple source types, lenses, mirrors, gratings, and beamsplitters. I'm working on adding more component types and analyses soon, as well as realistic coatings and stock lens catalogs.

There is a free limited demo (max 3 components) available as a static x64 EXE for Windows if anyone would like to test it out.
