CSS 3D Transforms 3D cube
Example
3D transforms can be use to create many 3D shapes. Here is a simple 3D CSS cube example:
HTML:
<div class="cube">
<div class="cubeFace"></div>
<div class="cubeFace face2"></div>
</div>
CSS:
body {
perspective-origin: 50% 100%;
perspective: 1500px;
overflow: hidden;
}
.cube {
position: relative;
padding-bottom: 20%;
transform-style: preserve-3d;
transform-origin: 50% 100%;
transform: rotateY(45deg) rotateX(0);
}
.cubeFace {
position: absolute;
top: 0;
left: 40%;
width: 20%;
height: 100%;
margin: 0 auto;
transform-style: inherit;
background: #C52329;
box-shadow: inset 0 0 0 5px #333;
transform-origin: 50% 50%;
transform: rotateX(90deg);
backface-visibility: hidden;
}
.face2 {
transform-origin: 50% 50%;
transform: rotatez(90deg) translateX(100%) rotateY(90deg);
}
.cubeFace:before, .cubeFace:after {
content: '';
position: absolute;
width: 100%;
height: 100%;
transform-origin: 0 0;
background: inherit;
box-shadow: inherit;
backface-visibility: inherit;
}
.cubeFace:before {
top: 100%;
left: 0;
transform: rotateX(-90deg);
}
.cubeFace:after {
top: 0;
left: 100%;
transform: rotateY(90deg);
}

Additional styling is added in the demo and a transform is applied on hover to view the 6 faces of the cube.
Should be noted that:
- 4 faces are made with pseudo elements
- chained transforms are applied
