LUME gives you general-purpose HTML Elements for defining 2D or 3D scenes rendered with CSS3D, WebGL, or both mixed together.

LUME's allows us to combine traditional HTML elements styled with CSS with new elements that render with WebGL, which means we can render both traditional HTML content and 3D models together in the same 3D space, with lighting and shadow effects on both types of content.

As an example, consider traditional CSS box-shadow which is flat and static:

With LUME we can give traditional HTML content real and dynamic shadow and lighting! The following demo shows traditional <button> elements decorated with LUME elements to give them WebGL-powered lighting and shadow.

LUME is built on Web Component standards, making it possible to write 3D scenes declaratively using custom HTML elements, regardless of which view layer you prefer. This makes it possible for you write 3D scenes using popular HTML frameworks like (but not limited to) React, Vue.js, Meteor, Angular, Ember.js, or even the great jQuery.
