Summary

PolyCSS is a CSS 3D engine that renders 3D polygon meshes (OBJ/MTL, GLB, VOX formats) as real HTML elements using CSS matrix3d transforms. It supports colors, textures, lighting, shadows, shapes, and animations, and works with React, Vue, or plain JavaScript. The library provides framework components including PolyCamera, PolyScene, and PolyMesh for building 3D scenes directly in the DOM.
