WebHeat: GPU-Powered Thermal Simulation for Any STL File

A high school senior learned Newton's law of cooling in class, then built a full thermal simulation in the browser. Drop in any STL, watch heat propagate through voxelized geometry on the GPU. WebGPU compute shaders, React frontend, and a useRef trick that keeps it all from falling apart.

The Bartlett Summer Show 2020: 32 Walkable Gallery Rooms

Hello Monday built 700 architecture students a gallery that fits in a browser tab. Three.js renders 32 walkable rooms. The seamless jumps between 3D exploration and flat project pages proved something: the browser is a legitimate exhibition space now.

A Windows 98 Portfolio

Evan Poliquin's portfolio renders a full Windows 98 desktop inside a three.js scene, with React UI nested via CSS3D and raycasting to translate 3D clicks into 2D interaction. Two versions ship: WebGL with metaballs, or video fallback for lower-spec machines.
