sunsets, from space, in real time, in your browser spent this past month learning about atmospheric scattering to build beautiful skies and lighting happy with the result so far, lots to try still r3f.maximeheckel.com/atmospheric-sc…

Threejs Conf Paris, here we go ! 🚀 --> threejs.paris Waitlist open !

A tour of the post-processing features in my WebGPU engine. Chaining global passes like blur, bloom, and pixelate, on top of a disturb pipeline with its own options: distortion, black and white, lighten, darken, noise, RGB split, and more. It also supports layer and plane UV isolation. Planes can have optional shadows and rounded borders. Behind-the-scenes split view shows the raw pass vs final composite. Built from scratch with the WebGPU JavaScript API. Lightweight, minimal code, 0 dependencies, modular custom components 🧩. Next, vertex work and finish the MTSDF generator I’m building in Rust. ✨

Recreating the Mars demo in Space.js, well kind of. 🤓 The editor is getting there though, slowly. #threejs #webgl #mars #gui x.com/pschroen/statu…

Also CC'ing @NASA, @NASAGoddard, @NASAJPL, @Caltech here, let me know what you think of the demo! 😉

I can't vote on my own projects and it means a lot to me being recognized by my peers in the industry, thank you! Would love to spend more time on this demo this year, still have a lot of plans for it!

Last year I worked on a cinematic Mars demo, featuring high quality 2k textures, with some help from @btjakes and John Van Vliet. Happy to share it's been awarded an FWA of the Day! thefwa.com/cases/mars-demo #threejs #webgl #mars

I wanted to download and render the full data set but it seems 1TB drive space is not enough to unzip it 😅 So here's the first six layers rendered with 3d-tiles-renderer. I'll eagerly await the streamable version - I'm always ready to render more Mars #threejs #nasajpl #gis

@MaximeHeckel 🙏

@pschroen lovely wobble

Finally added a simple 3D example for the Wobble class. alien.js.org/examples/three… #threejs #webgl #alienjs

Last week, I published a chapter about color. It's fairly comprehensive: makingsoftware.com/chapters/color…

Another motion blur experiment from last year, this time with an animated Fibonacci sphere. alien.js.org/examples/three… #threejs #webgl #shader #fibonacci #sphere #motionblur

@garrettkjohnson .@garrettkjohnson's blue noise sketches and motion blur: github.com/gkjohnson/thre… github.com/gkjohnson/thre…

This example also adds depth to the motion blur, a modification to the previous motion blur implementation (also by @garrettkjohnson), so objects closer to the camera are blurred more.

Last year I was also experimenting with @garrettkjohnson's blue noise sketches, but with my usual subsurface scattering and motion blur. alien.js.org/examples/three… #threejs #webgl #shader #bluenoise #motionblur

Last year I worked on some internet map experiments, including a visualization of city population and elevation as stars, and a custom API endpoint to select your location in "cyberspace". alien.js.org/examples/three… #threejs #webgl #shader #stars #cyberspace #geoip

This holiday season, gift your family the knowledge of Digital Credit.

The initial MVP is on the App Store now (currently only available for the US, Canada and the UK), and we'd love to know what you think!

Over the past year I've been working on an iPhone app for Kythe, a great example of how AI can be used in a positive way, generating conversation starters, called "Qs", that are fun, interesting and thought provoking! apps.apple.com/app/kythe-conn… #iphone #appstore #socialnetworking

We just launched Shopify Editions Winter 2026 🎨 Here's the technical breakdown of how we built it 🧵
