
Coming soon! This new section will be dedicated to topics that will help you learn how to prepare various assets for use in Babylon.js. Models, Animation, textures, materials, LUTs. Want to learn about a topic? let us know on the [Babylon.js Forum!](https://forum.babylonjs.com/)


In this section, learn all about how to use Babylon.js outside of the browser! The Babylon.js platform offers several ways to use one awesome engine both in the web AND to create native applications. If you want one codebase that deploys across different platforms, look no further!


## Axes
It is often useful to be able to quickly display world and local axes to see position and rotation for example. For world axes use

```javascript
const axes = new BABYLON.AxesViewer(scene, length_of_axes)
```

To make any of the x, y and z axes local to a mesh (or other appropriate object) use

```javascript
axes.xAxis.parent = mesh;
axes.yAxis.parent = mesh;
axes.zAxis.parent = mesh;
```

You can customise the axes, which do not have to be orthogonal, using 

```javascript
axes.update(position, xAxis, yAxis, zAxis) //all parameters are Vector3s
```
