curtains.js is an easy-to-use WebGL library that converts images, videos, and canvases into 3D WebGL graphics. WebGL (Web Graphics Library) is a JavaScript API used to render 3D and 2D graphics that users can interact with. curtains.js was built as a WebGL JavaScript library.

If you had been using curtains prior to the version 7.0 release, then you would will have noticed the many changes between the old and new version.

Back to basics: What does curtains do?

To understand this question better, we need to first look at the problems that curtains is intended to solve. According to its official website, curtains.js converts HTML elements containing images, videos, and canvases into 3D WebGL, which allows these media to be further animated with the use of shaders. This makes curtains.js 3D graphics easy to position relative to the DOM of a web page, a luxury that is not commonly found in other 3D libraries.

Moreover, because curtains.js is built with the WebGL API, it saves you the stress of working directly with things like object sizes and positions. Instead, curtains handles these developments itself under the hood, making development easy and straightforward.

Finally, curtains has clear SEO benefits, allowing you to write clean HTML code for your design that is more likely than other 3D libraries to be ranked highly by a search engine.
