obj-to-html: THE STORY SO FAR

so last week i made a tool that lets you convert any reasonably low-poly 3D model in .obj format into a CSS crime, and so far i've made three posts with it:

nobody else has made any posts with this so far to my knowledge (please tell me if i'm wrong)

i have like two ideas for posts to make this way but i'm wondering if anyone has suggestions, because more ideas are always good

btw having the 3d model just spin on its axis is not the only thing that can be done. you could have a 3d world rotate around the camera. or have a bouncing low-poly eggbug. alas full animation of a 3d model (like, skeletal animation) probably isn't possible

It’s a super cool tool but I think the lag it causes a barrier to use. I wonder if you could use that width-hacking stuff (like was used in that Zelda css crime) to make a sorta 3d movement with obj-to-html

oh width hacking absolutely should work, but sadly only for translation and maybe scaling. it's impossible to control rotation that way

also fwiw I think the lag isn't too bad so long as it's very low-poly. Lara Croft was really pushing the limits

It’s not that bad but still noticeable on my iPhone 8, on my laptop or desktop it’s a lot less on those low poly models

I wonder if you could do fake rotation by having multiple pre-rotated instances of the model that you move between

yeah, though at that point you may as well use images

wow that's so cool!
