Georgi Nikolov's WebGPU renderer puts 400+ point lights in the classic Sponza atrium. Deferred shading, cascaded shadows, Hi-Z reflections, TAA. Clean architecture that handles WebGPU's explicit pipelines without drama.
Piet Dewijngaert's portfolio is pure visual spectacle. Chrome skulls, laser beams, and a "prove you're human" gate set the tone. The tech stack evolved from vanilla JS to Svelte to Three.js with R3F. Every corner packed with interactive details, somehow still performant.
Orage's homepage runs on a custom WebGL canvas-masking engine. Shader-driven tiles flicker and sync like data packets, the menu is drag-and-drop, and the whole thing boots like a terminal. Built by Beaucoup with Three.js, GSAP, and a deep commitment to the retro-tech aesthetic.
Merci-Michel's MSI Egg Hunt is a timing-based browser game where you dash between rocks and collect golden eggs. Simple premise, polished execution. Built with Three.js and WebGL, it won Awwwards Site of the Day in 2023. Give it a spin and check out how the Paris studio nailed the feel.
Harvard's WebGL experiment animates 153,000 particles to map global exports. Each dot = $100M. Built with Three.js, it's a masterclass in data viz that's begging for a modern remake with up-to-date capabilities and data.
