Extremely cool. I hand rolled some 3d objects using only CSS a few years ago [0]. One challenge I faced with the rotation was that text on the stop and bus signs would appear backwards from behind. To solve this I added an animation that flips the div 180 degrees. I tried to do the flip while the signs were occluded, but I didn't add anything to occlude the bus stop sign so you can see it flip as it rotates

Stop signs are blank on the back. Could you hide the text instead?

Ah, that’s a good point. More accurate and easier

Wow... I don't think I've ever seen my M1 MacBook Pro lock up this badly. It took me multiple minutes to close the browser window after loading the snowman model.

Nevertheless: incredibly cool project!
