kiss3d is a simple 2D and 3D graphics engine for Rust built on WebGPU, designed to let users draw simple geometric figures with minimal friction. It works identically on native platforms and WASM, opening windows with default cameras and lights out of the box.

Use cases

• draw simple 3d shapes in rust
• create small interactive 3d demos
• render rotating cubes and spheres with minimal code
• prototype 3d visualizations quickly
• build cross-platform graphics demos that run in the browser via wasm
• teach 3d graphics programming without shader boilerplate

When to choose

• you want to draw simple geometric figures with as little friction as possible
• you need a quick way to open a window and render primitives in Rust
• you want the same code to run natively and in the browser via WASM
• you are building small demos, prototypes, or educational examples rather than production games

When to avoid

• you need a feature-complete or high-performance graphics engine
• you want photorealistic rendering or advanced effects for games
• you need fine-grained control over shaders and the rendering pipeline
• you are building a large-scale production 3d application
