## What it is
three-d is a Rust library providing an OpenGL/WebGL/OpenGL ES renderer for drawing 2D and 3D graphics across desktop, web, and mobile platforms. It offers high-level features with optional low-level access, including custom shader support, while minimizing boilerplate setup.

## Use cases
- render 3d graphics in rust
- draw 2d shapes with webgl in the browser
- build a simple 3d visualization tool
- render custom shaders without boilerplate
- make a small 2d or 3d game in rust
- render ui or images with opengl
- cross-platform graphics that also run on web via wasm

## When to choose
- you want to draw 2D/3D graphics in Rust with minimal setup
- you need the same rendering code to run on desktop, mobile, and web (WebAssembly)
- you want high-level convenience but with access to low-level OpenGL and custom shaders
- a full game engine is too heavy but raw OpenGL is too tedious

## When to avoid
- you need a full-featured game engine with physics, audio, and asset pipelines
- you require modern APIs like Vulkan, Metal, or DirectX rather than OpenGL/WebGL
- you need a mature high-level scene graph or editor tooling

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: active
- function: graphics, image-processing, data-visualization, game-engine
- domain: graphics, web-development, data-visualization
- platform: cross-platform, wasm, rust
- tags: opengl, webgl, renderer, 3d-graphics, 2d-graphics, shaders, gamedev, game-development, web-server, desktop, mobile
