Chetan Ankola made a lantern-carrying ghost in the browser: rain, black water, fabric that flutters. GPT 6 Astra did the design, Claude Opus 5.5 wrote the Three.js. We look at the cloth, the light and five small interactions.
Gemini 4 Argon in Antigravity built a Japanese temple complex with a five-storey pagoda in Blender from one prompt. We unpack that prompt: a skill doc, blueprints, Nano Banana references, four specialist subagents and a critic.
maxescu re-ran @techhalla's exact Gemini 4 Argon vs Opus 5.5 prompt in Antigravity and got a four-machine da Vinci museum. How the scene is built, and why one run per model proves little.
A paste-in project prompt for an agent building in Blender over MCP: units, grid, naming, style rules from your references, re-runnable code and a self-check loop with fixed-camera renders, plus companion prompts for drafting rules and running a checker agent.
How to let a coding agent drive Blender through an MCP server: setup, building rules and references, self-checks with fixed-camera renders, splitting work between agents, and keeping the scene editable.
The export recipe for getting Blender scenes into browser games as small, fast GLB files: phone and desktop budgets for triangles and draw calls, baking, texture sizes, Draco/Meshopt/KTX2 trade-offs, naming, colliders and LODs.
The full path from one concept image to a game-ready 3D model with Tripo, Meshy, Rodin or Hunyuan3D: input image rules, picking candidates, decimation and retopology budgets, UV and texture fixes, scale, pivot and export.
Shared by @threejs: eight Monet paintings turned into WebXR worlds you can walk, fly and paint in. How the brushstroke renderer, the hand controls and the voice guide work.
Sac's 36-second pre-launch scene reel from The Little Prince: the King's palace, a glass-roofed stone house, the Lamplighter's rock. Landmarks, motifs, a shared kit, lighting and per-planet bundles.
Stefan Vaskevich gets a deer and a boar walking in 3D with no mocap and no hand keyframing. The whole trick is one colour per leg; here's the pipeline and where it slips.
A SIGGRAPH Asia 2026 method turns missing, extra and jittery mocap markers into clean body-and-hands motion, with one model for any layout. The code isn't out yet; here's what it means for game animation.
Stefan Vaskevich posted Gemini 4 Argon rebuilding Never Gonna Give You Up in 3D, beside the original. Thirty seconds show what the model gets right in 3D and animation, and what it doesn't.
Meng To is building an icon-and-illustration-to-3D tool with Opus 5.5: presets, materials, bases and animated backdrops. How it is structured, and where an SVG-to-3D pipeline breaks.
A free browser tool rebuilds any real city block from OpenStreetMap and elevation data, then draws it as manga line art, screentone and solid black. Here's the three-buffer line trick, and how to rebuild a small version with an AI coding model.
Frank Reitberger ported Mercury's 64k intro Delight to the browser on three.js WebGPU. We map its render pipeline, from a raymarched G-buffer to bloom and glare, and show how to build a small version with an AI coding model.
An 8-second loop by akella: thousands of tiny app windows labelled claude and codex stream in a ribbon and burst into clusters. There's no code or live page, so we break down what's on screen and how to rebuild it with instancing and an AI coding model.
TechHalla gave both models the same da Vinci workshop brief and cut the results into a split screen. Opus built a warm museum, Gemini an engineering dashboard; what each chose, and what one run can’t tell you.
A betta fish that lives on a Mac desktop, generated entirely in code by Opus 5.5. We break down the fin rays, the colour and the lagging motion so you can code your own.
Akakumaya's Hakoniwa Sekai received six new 3D dioramas you can explore in a browser. Here's what the six have in common, and the template he uses to cut very different submissions into one showcase.
akiweb's 3D diorama Hakonigram lets hologram koi, jellyfish and over 100 yokai light a whole rainy city. Here's the dark base, the line-and-particle hologram look and the bloom.
Chetan Ankola's bubble toy floats iridescent soap bubbles over a 360° courtyard photo. How the bubble material, the backdrop and the three-verb controls fit together.
Chetan Ankola's guitarist-in-his-bedroom scene flips between sketch, watercolour, cel and manga looks with one click. How separate mood and style presets do the work.
Chetan Ankola moved his GPT 6 Astra soap bubbles to a Wynwood mural street and a garden. How the scene swaps, per-scene exposure and the bent view through each bubble work.
Chetan Ankola vibe-coded a palm island with an ocean and a pool in Three.js. How depth colour, sun glints, horizon haze and depth of field make the water read as tropical.
