I made a 3D SVG Renderer that projects textures without rasterization

In plain words

This is a 3D SVG renderer that projects textures directly without rasterization, keeping output as vector graphics. It's designed for developers and designers working with 3D graphics who need scalable vector output instead of raster images. The tool maintains SVG format throughout the rendering process, making it useful for web-based 3D visualization and applications where resolution-independent graphics are beneficial.

seve.blog Subscribe Sign in I made a 3D SVG Renderer that projects textures without rasterization How can you make affine transformations (the only ones SVGs are capable of) resemble perspective transformations? Seve Ibarluzea Jun 05, 2025 5 3 Share I’ve been building a vanilla 3D object to SVG renderer in Typescript to help render circuit boards that are made in React and discovered an interesting trick to keep the SVGs small while getting approximately-correct looking perspective transformations with image textures. An example circuit board rendered with our vanilla Typescript 3D Renderer. Great for checking sizing! You can see we were able to project the “texture” containing the PCB…from seve.blog

  Svader – Create GPU-rendered Svelte components2024 · github.com · ▲189

  Svader is a library for rendering 2D shaders on Svelte websites, using either WebGL or WebGPU. It's streamlined for the specific use case of rendering 2D graphics using fragment shaders as an alternative to SVG or the JS canvas API, so it's not meant for doing 3D objects like three.js, for example. This started as something I needed for my own project, but I eventually decided to split it into a separate library. I've since found that this use case fits really well into the Svelte compiler-based approach and its fine-grained reactivity system. In general, I think using shaders like these has…

  I'm an airline pilot – I built interactive graphs/globes of my flights▲1,539

  Hey HN! Pilots everywhere are required to keep a logbook of all their flying hours, aircraft, airports, and so on. Since I track everything digitally (some people still just use paper logbooks!), I put together some data visualizations and a few 3D globes to show my flying history. This globe is probably my favourite so far: https://jameshard.ing/pilot/globes/all If you’ve got ideas for other graphs or ways to show this kind of data, I’d love to hear them!

  Workout.cool – Open-source fitness coaching platform▲827

  I was the main contributor to workout.lol, an open-source fitness app to easily build a workout routine. The project had traction (1.4k GitHub stars, 95 forks, ~20K visits/month), but was eventually sold due to video licensing hurdles. The new owner stopped maintaining it, and the repo went abandoned. Over the next 9 months, I sent 15 emails to try to save it : no replies. Feature requests & issues were ignored. The community was left with a "broken" tool let's say. I couldn't just let it die So I built the new version from scratch with the same open-source spirit, but a better…
