The Vertex plugin creates 3D scenes in Figma with models, materials, SVG conversion, 3D text, and lighting and camera controls.
Zdog
For canvas and SVG, Zdog provides a small JavaScript pseudo-3D engine to design and render simple 3D models.
About Zdog
Zdog is a JavaScript pseudo-3D engine for `` and SVG. Its geometries exist in 3D space but are rendered as flat shapes using the 2D drawing API. Spheres are drawn as dots, toruses as circles, and capsules as thick lines.
With Zdog, you can design and render simple 3D models on the web by adding shapes to an illustration. Shapes include ellipses and rectangles that can be positioned, rotated, and animated. The library can be installed by download, CDN link, npm, or Bower, and modeling uses a declarative API. An example shows rotation, animation with requestAnimationFrame, and drag-to-rotate interaction.
Zdog suits web designers and developers who want vector-style illustration with an added dimension. It is intended for simple models and scenes rather than full 3D engines, and version 1 is described as a beta release with expected changes.
