Thanks for all the input - threeJS is great. I’ll take your advice on that. I haven’t updated my knowledge on it for a couple of years.

FYI - a reason for using Livecode exists outside of the actual animation. It’s the educational aspect and geometry. Would like to be able to explore the language and coding as a learning experience as a follow up in Livecode rather than JavaScript.
