preserve3d

preserve3d is a JavaScript library for creating and manipulating 3D scenes. It is designed to be lightweight and easy to use, making it suitable for web developers who want to add 3D graphics to their projects without a steep learning curve. The library provides a set of tools for defining 3D objects, setting up cameras, and rendering scenes in a web browser.

Key features of preserve3d include support for basic geometric shapes like cubes, spheres, and planes, as well as the ability to import custom 3D models. It allows for the application of materials and textures to these objects, enhancing their visual appearance. Scene management is handled through a simple API, enabling developers to add, remove, and transform objects within the scene. Lighting can be configured to illuminate the 3D environment, further impacting the rendering.

The library focuses on providing a straightforward approach to 3D graphics, often integrating with HTML5 canvas or WebGL for rendering. This makes it accessible for projects where performance is not the absolute highest priority but where interactive 3D elements are desired. preserve3d aims to democratize 3D web development by offering a less complex alternative to more feature-rich but potentially more demanding engines. Its focus is on making 3D content creation achievable for a broader audience of web developers.
