How does it compose 2D and 3D content? Is it using a WebGL canvas for the rendering surface? Or a 2D canvas and rasterising the 3D content in an offscreen canvas and transferring to bitmap to place in the 2D canvas?

The readme describes some options you have for combining 2D and 3D.[1]

It seems you can either have 3D and 2D on top each other (without transformations applying to both) or include a 3D sprite in 2D. I guess that means 2D and 3D are generally not composed together but separately.
