Testing off-axis projection demo. Basic scene layout in Blender glb -> detailed splat via World Labs Three.js for engine MediaPipe for face tracking Next step is to add a character you can move around in the environment

Just tested Grok for the first time, and It’s surprisingly solid at coding compared to other AI models. I used it to generate the logic for this web based 3D augmented reality Pong game, and it handled it well. This took a bit of back and forth but still pretty quick.

Experimenting with image-to-world: creating consistent 3D environments from a single photo. As someone who studied architecture, this feels like a glimpse into the future of spatial creation and I’m excited to see where World Labs takes it.

Claude 3.7 Sonnet is seriously impressive It goes beyond basic logic, capturing subtle nuances. Previous models for me was just about getting 3D experiences running, but 3.7 adds polished details—particle trails, collision visuals, and flawless physics #threejs
