Both three.js and Lume have css 3d renderers, fwiw. I forget where there.js is but Lume's also supports a mixed mode too.

I don't think either has lighting though! Holy macrel!

I remember the promise of VRML, but never had a machine powerful enough to render anything but the simplest examples.

I worked on SGI machines at the time and even that wasn't powerful enough. Even though Indy was dubbed as "the web machine" (I worked on Indigo2). It was a bit too early when it was promised.

My guy here did what Sega Saturn's VDP1 did. Instead of triangle based rendering, which most did, Saturn used quads, or "distorted sprites" to do 3D. Trivia: Nvidia's first accelerator NV1 was based on what VDP1 did and also used quads and failed on the market (mostly due to it).
