phoria2: Tiny WebGL2 3D engine replaces canvas hacks

What is I rebuilt my old canvas 3D library as a small WebGL 2 library – phoria2?

phoria2 is a lightweight JavaScript library that renders 3D graphics using WebGL2. It supports PBR materials, instancing, picking, shadows, particles and glTF models, and only redraws when something changes.

Who it is for

Web developers who need quick, dependency-free 3D visualisations, like charts or product viewers, can drop it in and start coding in an afternoon.

How to try it

npm install phoria2
