Spatial interfaces, real-time graphics, and immersive UI scenes.
Build tilt-shift ASCII miniatures, which are small, dense, living 3D worlds in Three.js drawn entirely as coloured monospace characters and seen from high above with the top and bottom of the view blurred like a scale model. Use when someone asks for an ASCII scene, ASCII shader or renderer, glyph-rendered or text-mode 3D, an ASCII diorama or miniature, a tilt-shift ASCII effect, or a dense little world in this style. The result is a live web page that animates and loops.
Draws fun, sharp isometric stickers (flat fill, thick black outline, extruded slab side) and animates them on a library of After Effects grade keyframe presets, replayed exactly the way lottie-web plays them, so the motion is fluid character animation and never a made up wobble. Any palette (six named sets with Riso by default, two brand colours, one colour, hue shift, custom slots) and four facing directions. Produces icon modules that play live on canvas in any web app (a React component ships with the kit) and export to looping alpha video (webm, HEVC mp4) with a poster. Use for "/fun-isometric", "animated sticker icons", "fun isometric icons", "Lottie style icons", "onboarding illustrations that move", or any request for playful animated icons, empty state art or feature stickers.
Build convincing timber for Three.js as one procedural MeshPhysicalMaterial with growth rings, cathedral figure, pores, medullary rays, checks, tool marks, end grain, and oil, wax, or lacquer finishes, so the grain follows the form and survives macro close-ups without image textures. Use for wood boards, benches, carved panels, tool handles, joinery, floors, and any request to make 3D wood look real, detailed, or less like a tiled photo or plastic.
Light carved wood in a dark room in three.js, with procedural grain and pores, one warm key through a window, soft shadows that touch, light shafts, background rays and dust, then score the render out of 10 on an anchored rubric with a runnable headless scorecard and iterate until each item reaches the target. Use for oiled timber, kumiko, joinery and workshop scenes; wood that reads flat, plastic or washed out; volumetrics that lift the blacks; "score this out of 10"; or "get the lighting to 8".
Build guided and interactive virtual tours through a 3D environment with authored camera paths, room and floor-plan navigation, orbit inspection, smooth mode handoffs, and progressive loading. Use for architectural walkthroughs, real-estate tours, museums, showrooms, and explorable spaces built with Three.js or a similar renderer.
Add volumetric underwater god rays to a Three.js scene, marching one drifting swell field along every view ray at half resolution so the light shafts converge on the sun, parallax with the camera and carry rippling caustic streaks, with a shimmering surface underside, a sun that wobbles through the ripples, and the same light dappling fish as they swim through the beams. Use for underwater scenes, oceans seen from below, aquariums, reefs, kelp forests, diving and shipwreck scenes, schools of fish, sunbeams or light shafts through water, caustics, "rays of light shining through the ocean", or watery ripples on a background. Includes a reusable module and the Blue Hour sardine-school demo.
Build an ultra-realistic open ocean in Three.js with a deep-water Gerstner spectrum shaded per pixel from analytic derivatives, each wave faded at its own pixel footprint, plus Fresnel sky-cube and planar reflections, subsurface light through the crests, HDR sun glitter, Jacobian lace foam, a Kelvin wake, hull foam, buoyancy queries and aerial perspective into the sky's horizon haze. Use for seas, oceans, sunset or daylight water, sun glitter paths, ship or boat scenes, wakes, coastal flyovers and any 3D scene with a moving camera and a water horizon. Includes the approved water from Pirate Ship Sunset as a reusable module and demo.
Add sun shafts and crepuscular rays to a Three.js or equivalent 3D scene, using scene occlusion, a projected sun position, controlled foreground spill, and scalable post-processing. Use for rays of light from the sky, sunlight through trees or roofs, and golden-hour architectural scenes.
Create a camera-correct sky background for a 3D scene with a procedural atmosphere or panorama, horizon haze, aligned sunlight, and coherent environment lighting. Use for architectural skies, outdoor 3D backgrounds, golden hour, and day-to-night sky transitions.
Render a 3D canvas sharply on Retina and HiDPI displays, including explicit 200 percent resolution, synchronized renderer and post-processing sizes, correct pointer coordinates, and measured quality fallbacks. Use for blurry WebGL output, 2x rendering, high-resolution previews, and display-density changes.
Build a paper sheet in Three.js that reads as paper up close — washi, cotton rag or kraft with baked fibre and tooth relief, laid and chain lines, a torn deckle edge with frayed fibres, four-layer thickness, a rolled corner and crease, ink that wicks along the fibres, toasted aged edges, contact shadows and back-lit translucency. Use for a hung sheet, scroll, page, label, shoji pane or card that must survive a macro close-up, or when paper looks like a flat white plane, has ruler-straight edges, no thickness, or does not glow when lit from behind. Use 3d-wood-material, 3d-cloth-material or 3d-metal-material for those materials, and paper-cinder-transition for burning paper.
Make a 3D object lean around on hover and open a full inspect view on click. Hover is a damped, bounded camera lean; click lifts the piece off its bench into the hand, where you drag to turn it, coast, dolly with wheel or pinch, and put it back with Esc, click-away or a Close button. Use for product, object, joinery and portfolio pieces in Three.js where a hover orbit and click-to-full-view must not fight each other; use webgl-3d-object for a floating hero mesh with no inspect mode, and 3d-virtual-tour for a camera path through a place.
Build hyperrealistic PBR metal in Three.js: steel, brass, gold, copper and iron as true conductors (metalness 1, measured F0 tint, no albedo) with roughness-varied finishes (polished, brushed anisotropic, aged with patina and worn edges) lit by a dark HDR studio of real bright window cards prefiltered with PMREM. Use when metal looks like grey plastic, a dull blur, or a black hole; when blades, tools, rings, ingots, hardware or product metal need reflections with edges and structure; or when a finish needs scratches, streaks, fingerprints and bevels that catch light.
Build sharp, physically coherent high-resolution materials for 3D rendering with appropriate PBR maps, texel density, UV direction, mipmaps, anisotropic filtering, and progressive asset delivery. Use for detailed wood, stone, fabric, foliage, and architectural close-ups without excessive download or GPU memory costs.
Create or integrate highly detailed 3D models with smooth silhouettes, shaped surfaces, believable bevels, and close-up geometry, then prepare suitable runtime LODs and loading. Use when a user requests high polygon counts, ultra-realistic models, detailed architectural assets, or removal of visibly faceted geometry.
Add coordinated spring, summer, fall, and winter states to a 3D scene, blending foliage, sunlight, sky, ground materials, snow, and particles without rebuilding the world. Use for seasonal controls, architectural walkthroughs, and outdoor scenes with four-season transitions.
Build recognizable falling leaves in world space using instanced geometry, independent tumble, coupled sideways drift, shared wind, scene occlusion, and camera-aware recycling. Use for 3D autumn leaves or drifting foliage in Three.js and similar scenes; use falling-leaves for a 2D canvas overlay.
Build convincing woven cloth in Three.js, with a thread-level weave normal map, sheen and anisotropic highlights, folds that never stretch the texture, hems with thickness, stitches, seams, frayed edges, fold occlusion, dye and wear variation, and light passing through thin fabric. Use for linen, silk, wool, canvas, curtains, banners, cloaks, tablecloths, tapestries or any 3D drape that currently looks like a plastic sheet, a stretched texture, or a flat coloured plane.
Building three.js scenes from React with React Three Fiber and drei: renderer setup, the scene graph as JSX, frame-loop, state and loading hooks, pointer events, and adaptive performance, on WebGL or with WebGPU and TSL. Use when writing React components that render three.js.
Measuring and optimizing three.js speed: render statistics, memory counters, fewer draw calls via merging, instancing, batching and LOD, fill rate, shadows, CPU work per frame, shader stalls and GPU compute for particles, WebGL or WebGPU with TSL. Use when a scene is slow, janks or exceeds memory.
Shrinking glTF assets for three.js with gltf-transform: inspect, validate and optimize commands, Draco, meshopt and quantization, KTX2, WebP and AVIF textures, the loader setup each output needs, and gltfjsx for React. Use when compressing, optimizing or validating 3D models before loading them.
Turn a prompt or still image into a looping animated icon with real transparency, output as animated WebP.
Build an immersive scroll-scrubbed 3D world landing page for any brand with Higgsfield-generated scenes, seamless camera clips, and a portable scroll-scrub engine.
Build small, always-on WebGL visuals (identity avatars, ambient orbs, glass and iridescent surfaces, animated textures) that ship inside a normal web app UI without wrecking performance, accessibility, SSR, or layout. Use whenever a shader-, GLSL-, or canvas-driven decorative element is added to a product UI, especially one rendered many times per page or per list; when reviewing or optimizing one; or when debugging one that renders blurry, aliased, all-black, or paints over the surrounding UI on machines without hardware acceleration.
Use when building lightweight animated globe or orb visuals with Cobe.
