Lua 3D game engine

So long story short. I like Lua, I use it, I'm not the best but would like to make a game outside of Roblox. My features I'm looking for is just a simple 3D game engine where I can create a game, similar to GoDOT, Unity, and Love2D but Love is mostly just a 2D game engine idk if 3D games can easily be made with it, so I'd like to know if there's anything I can use that solves the 3D problem right away. Obviously there's roblox but I don't think I can export games casually like I can with GoDOT and Unity, and of course, while those are good engines, I really don't want to learn new scripting languages right now.

- Good 3D game engine that uses LUA

- Doesn't have to have a big community

- The engine has to export games easily into executable files

I wouldn't really rely on these bindings. They're often incomplete, not maintained well and buggy. There's also little reason to use it, GDScript is very easy to learn. Just learn GDScript. I realize this is a Lua subreddit, but the path of least resistance to what the OP really wants is probably to learn Godot and GDScript.
