+## 📚 **Complete Nova64 3D API Reference**
+
+> 🚀 **100% Test Coverage**: All 35+ API functions are thoroughly tested and validated!
+
+### 🎨 **3D Scene Management**
+
+```javascript
+// 📷 Camera control system
+setCameraPosition(x, y, z); // Set camera world position
+setCameraTarget(x, y, z); // Set camera look-at target
+setCameraFOV(degrees); // Set field of view (default: 75°)
+
+// 🌫️ Atmospheric effects
+setFog(color, near, far); // Add distance-based fog
+clearFog(); // Remove fog effects
+```
+
+> 💡 **3D renders automatically** — create objects in `init()`, move them in `update(dt)`. The `draw()` function is for 2D HUD overlay only.
+

+    emissive: 0xRRGGBB,        // Glow color (hex)
+    metalness: 0.0-1.0,        // Metallic reflection (0=plastic, 1=mirror)
+    roughness: 0.0-1.0,        // Surface roughness (0=mirror, 1=rough)
+    wireframe: true/false,     // Wireframe rendering
+    transparent: true/false,   // Enable transparency
+    opacity: 0.0-1.0          // Transparency level
+}
+```
+
+### ⚡ **3D Object Manipulation**

+## Renderer Architecture
+
+Nova64 uses a progressive enhancement renderer system:
+
+1. **Three.js Renderer** (Default)
+   - Full 3D scene graph with N64-style materials
+   - 2D overlay system for UI and effects
+   - Advanced lighting, shadows, and post-processing
+   - Model loading (GLTF/GLB) with automatic optimization
+
+2. **WebGL2 Renderer** (Fallback)
+   - RGBA16F framebuffer with tone mapping
+   - GPU-accelerated sprite batching
+   - Custom shaders for retro effects
+   - High-performance 2D rendering
+
+3. **Canvas2D Renderer** (Compatibility)
+   - CPU-based rendering for maximum compatibility
+   - Dithered RGBA64 to RGBA8 conversion
+   - Basic 2D primitive support
+
+The system automatically detects capabilities and selects the best available renderer. You can force a specific renderer using the control panel dropdown.
+
+## Performance Optimization
+
+### 3D Performance
+
+- Keep polygon counts under 1000 triangles per object
+- Use object pooling for dynamic objects
+- Leverage GPU instancing for repeated geometry
+- Enable frustum culling and occlusion culling
+
+### 2D Performance
+
+- Batch sprite renders by texture atlas
+- Use power-of-2 texture dimensions
+- Minimize state changes during rendering
+- Cache computed sprite positions when possible
+
+### General Performance
+
+- Profile using built-in performance stats
+- Use requestAnimationFrame for smooth animation
+- Implement level-of-detail (LOD) systems for complex scenes
+- Consider using Web Workers for heavy computation
