Building the Best Open Source Design System for 3D Engines @Open3DEngine

Uploaded November 2022 | Updated September 2026, 3 weeks ago

In 2022, there are so many 3D engines that exist – we can barely keep a count on it. With multiple experiences comes complex design problems to solve on a daily basis. This is where design systems come in. There's no need to reinvent the wheel when we can all just align on the most expected and common design patterns for users to experience. The BlueJay Design System is the official design system for Open 3D Engine. This talk will outline the what is involved in planning and building the best open source design system for the 3D engine. (And hopefully influence other engines to follow along too!).

Core topics include:
– What is the BlueJay Design System?
– The impacts of a design system (Scale, Consistency, Efficiency and Teamwork)
– How does a design system save me time as a contributor?
– The roadmap ahead
