What kind of format files will be using for this code?  
Will be nice if can be also can grab the object and move it around.  
I’m thinking in something like the games, but it can be use for engineering or mechanical purpose.  
It can have many applications.  
Great tip ! Post me with a sample please.  
Thanks

This is great, Kirupa! I didn’t know you could do anything 3D with CSS, looking forward to digging into your intro.

samy - samples will be coming out eventually 😛

grady - it’s not as powerful as what you can do with WebGL, but it certainly is much easier!
