Semantic Globe: A WebGPU Earth That Understands Plain English

Type a vibe like "somewhere cold and lonely" and watch a 3D Earth pin the answer. The text embeddings and the planet shaders share one GPU in one browser tab, no server in the loop. Joshua Lochner's quiet flex of what WebGPU can do when nobody is looking.

Artisans d'Idées: Treats Shadow as a Material

Open Artisans d'Idées and you get a black screen with one instruction: click to illuminate. What follows is a horizontal Three.js journey rendered almost entirely in shadow, with audio coupled to camera state instead of a clock. Built by Paris studio Immersive Garden. Worth opening devtools for.

Weisdevice: A Glitchy Three.js Island With a Playable DJ Deck

Wei's portfolio drops you on a tiny island with a half-broken robot, a Gameboy, and a DJ deck that refuses to play clean loops. Three.js with GLSL and GSAP up top, smart performance choices underneath: raycasting at 30 FPS, render loop paused on inactive views, assets tiny and lazy-loaded.

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.
