Create 3D models in PHP (github.com)

I wrote a library for creating 3D models in PHP, it uses OpenScad in the background.

Why? From the README:

PHP is full-blown general-purpose language with a lot of documentation around the internet
There are full-blown IDEs that help with code completion
PHP supports more paradigms, like object oriented programming
Saner parameter names - for example the cylinder signature is cylinder(h, r, r1, r2, d, d1, d2, center) compared to PhpScad version - new Cylinder(height, radius, bottomRadius, topRadius, diameter, bottomDiameter, topDiameter)
- note that in both OpenSCAD and PhpScad version many of the parameters are optional
Created an interesting parametric shape? Cool, share it via composer because PHP has a package manager!

And here are links to two tutorials I wrote:

This might not be to everyone tastes, but if you already know PHP, it might make it a little easier.
