Usage

Once you have Perspective installed in your project, you can start using it in your JavaScript code. Here’s a basic example:

// Create a new Perspective renderer
const renderer = new Perspective.Renderer({
  canvas: document.getElementById('myCanvas'),
  width: 800,
  height: 600
});

// Create a scene
const scene = new Perspective.Scene();

// Create a cube mesh
const cube = new Perspective.Cube();

// Add the cube to the scene
scene.add(cube);

// Render the scene
renderer.render(scene);

Make sure to replace myCanvas with the id of the canvas element where you want to render the 3D scene.
