Maths-powered transforms for creating 3D shapes
summary
Concrete claims and code rather than vague promises: CSS plus SASS loops generate precise polygons and polyhedra by computing widths, radii and central angles, using actual translate/rotate/skew math to turn rectangles into triangles pentagons prisms cylinders and ribbons. Examples include the geodesic counts 60 carbon atoms 12 pentagons 20 hexagons, animated cylinders and a spiral ribbon, demos that sometimes glitch but ultimately render a morphing ball, and live code that reproduces the effects.
