Susurrus: A Watercolor World Built in Three.js

A spatial web piece by Xianyao Wei. Cream-and-sepia watercolor, motion that drifts like ink in water, a small 3D figure waiting to be nudged. Three.js and Blender geometry over WebGL, with a physics-flavored interaction layer doing most of the storytelling.

Noomo's 3D Storytelling Site: A Walk Through Phoenix

Noomo's storytelling site turns five client stories into rooms in a lit hallway, with animation bound to scroll instead of autoplay. Three.js doing the heavy lifting, WebGPU peeking around the corner on sister projects. Worth opening the network tab for.

Ameen Abdullah's Portfolio Turns the Browser Into a Stage

A WebGPU sakura scene anchors the hero, Vue drives the page, and a second WebGL layer paints mini scenes into textures aligned with the DOM. Off-screen blocks pause their work. Subtitles arrive in Japanese. A portfolio that behaves like a place rather than a CV.
