3D Perspective & Transforms

Realistic 3D depth with CSS perspective transforms, transform-style preserve-3d, backface-visibility. Mouse tracking for interactive tilt effect (rotateX/rotateY based on cursor position).

perspective: 1000px on card container; transform-style: preserve-3d
Mouse tilt: tiltX = (y - centerY) / 10; tiltY = (centerX - x) / 10
Card flip: rotateY(180deg) or rotateX(180deg) or both axes
backface-visibility: hidden for clean card faces
Fluid transitions with animation speed control (0.1x–2.0x)

Project Structure & Files

index.html (main page with 6 cards), styles.css (all styles and animations), script.js (interactions, particles, settings). README, FEATURES, INSTALLATION, USAGE, API, CONTRIBUTING, CHANGELOG, LICENSE.
