# Welcome to Pascal

> Pascal is a free, open-source 3D building editor that runs in your browser — design buildings, paint them with realistic materials, render images and video, and export or embed the result anywhere.

Draw walls, add doors and windows, furnish rooms, and paint every surface with
realistic materials — then walk through the result in 3D. Everything happens in the
browser with nothing to install: sign in with Google or email and your projects save
automatically to the cloud.

A Pascal project doesn't stop at the canvas. Generate photorealistic image and video
renders of your scenes, export them as GLB, OBJ, or STL for any engine or 3D tool,
collaborate with your team through organizations and project sharing, and embed the
live 3D viewer in any website or app.
