Looks really polished, nice. I just wish the cards loaded a bit faster.

the 3d renderer is a bit greedy, but i’ve got a few ideas here. thanks for giving it a spin and for the input!

tl;dr - first card now loads and renders ~45–60% faster. next/prev now 9x faster.

balancing a photorealistic renderer with performance is a dance. i'll keep tweaking, but thanks for the input and the fun challenge. was a bit of a doozy tbh, but feels much faster now.
