A lightweight JavaScript library implementing a flat surface shader that renders illuminated triangles using Lambertian reflectance. It supports rendering to WebGL, Canvas 2D, and SVG contexts.

Use cases

• render lit triangles in the browser
• simulate flat shading with lights on a mesh
• create animated low-poly lighting backgrounds
• render 3D lighting effects without WebGL using canvas or SVG
• build interactive triangle-based visual effects

When to choose

• you need lightweight flat-shaded triangle rendering with multiple output contexts
• you want WebGL fallbacks via Canvas 2D or SVG
• you need simple Lambertian lighting simulation in JavaScript

When to avoid

• you need full 3D rendering with textures, shadows, or complex shaders
• you need a maintained general-purpose 3D engine like three.js
• you need PBR or advanced lighting models
