Core Concepts​

When creating or editing 3D scenes on a computer, there are a few core concepts that are important to understand no matter which tool or format you are using.

  • Coordinate System – Any object within an Arium space has a position defined by coordinates along three axes: X, Y and Z. These roughly translate to its position left-right, front-back, and up-down. This system of defining positions is known as Cartesian Coordinates and is used in most 3D software.

  • WebGL – Arium runs in a web browser using a technology called Web Graphics Language. This is why Arium can run without downloading anything to your computer.
