A tiny 14k JavaScript 3D engine built on CSS3 transforms and divs instead of canvas/WebGL. It lets developers create simple 3D scenes with easy-to-understand Euler angle rotations, prioritizing platform compatibility over rendering performance.

Use cases

• build interactive 3D motion graphic H5 pages for mobile
• create simple 3D scenes without WebGL
• learn 3D basics with an easy entry-level engine
• make lightweight 3D product showcases that run everywhere
• rotate and position 3D planes using CSS transforms

When to choose

• you need maximum browser/platform compatibility including older mobile devices
• your 3D scene is small and made of simple planes/boxes
• you want a tiny dependency instead of a 300-400k 3D library
• you are a beginner wanting a gentle introduction to 3D on the web

When to avoid

• you need high rendering performance or complex 3D scenes
• you need to avoid gimbal lock or use matrix-based transforms
• you need lighting, shaders, or advanced 3D features - use three.js instead
