I am making a css 3d transforms web app, and I would like IE11 to be supported if possible. I know IE10 does not support the preserve-3d value for the transform-style css attribute, but I'm not sure about IE11. I have read some stuff that says that IE11 should support it, but the examples I tried didn't work properly (IE11 on Windows 8.1 here). So, does IE11 fully support css 3d transforms and preserve-3d?

2The worst of all is that they are going without prefixes, (transform instead of -ms-transform), when IE transform support is the worst of all. – vals Oct 21 '13 at 15:36

@vals good point there – markasoftware Oct 21 '13 at 22:22

According to Can I Use, transform-style: preserve-3d is not supported by Internet Explorer as of version 11.
In the MSDN documentation, you can apparently manually apply the transformations to child elements to emulate the effect.

Thanks! Also good that you included a workaround, but don't expect anyone to go to that much trouble...especially to support IE – markasoftware Oct 21 '13 at 22:22

1Ah well, [**I did**](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/17203550/how-to-recreate-perspective-origin-effect-by-transforming-child-elements) (just in case someone is interested in an example), but I'm probably never going to do that again unless I'm getting paid in islands, it's just not worth the trouble :) @Markasoftware – ndm Oct 22 '13 at 15:39

@ndm agreed on the islands thing. This is one of those cases where IE costs waaaaaay too much to support. – dudewad Dec 29 '15 at 01:49

Microsoft are adding support for transform-style: preserve-3d. It is supported in IE for Windows 10 tech preview.

4Support was added in the Windows 10 Edge browser, but not to IE11. – Blazemonger Dec 01 '15 at 22:18
