With CSS3’s 3D trans-forms I’ve illus-trated how to build a cube and a tetra-he-dron. It is also pos-si-ble to cre-ate a sphere-like object, albeit with many elements.

3D CSS Sphere
Works in the lat-est Safari and iOS and Chrome.

A couple of days ago, somebody tweeted a great looking CSS3 example. I was absolutely stunned by the example And all that Malarkey created and was wondering how he was able to produce that kind of effect. I knew about the CSS3 transition property, but how to create that 3d effect?

At that point, I started digging through the Safari Reference Library, where I eventually found the Safari CSS Visual Effects Guide: Transforms page. This page describes a CSS property I've never seen before: -webkit-perspective.
