No LLM could solve this threejs sphere issue last September (selecting cluster of tiles on the sphere across faces), codex 5.5 just cruised through it, now i'm not sure where to go with this project.

threejs horde system progress, no nav as of yet I have some ideas to try out. 2000 instances so far, only 24 fully active to the player, and elects primarily those at the front of the horde.

@Descrip44674399 Thanks! I've been wanting to test horde mechanics for a while, something like world war z clumping, but with agility like iRobot crawlers.

@rfitzpatrick_io Great idea for a game

I'm imagining a Left 4 Dead-style co-op game where everyday helper robots turn into a relentless horde, roomba's got a gun, and it brought friends.

@MrCollison that looks really dam good, keep going! I'd for sure use this 🔥

This scene shows both GI & raytraced reflections clearly. It's also great for debugging noise because it's fairly flat and uses only one directional light. This scene would be basically unlit without GI, yet look at the indirect light below the fridge & the counter reflections!

@dungeonpunk very doable haha, mixamo has some finishers i've tested before 🔥

@rfitzpatrick_io You need some stealth kill finishers where you just flip their switch off.

IK based reload animation, worth it for the immersion 🤣

@RealBoon22 @GrimfelOfficial a wizard is never late, Frodo Baggins. Nor is he early. He arrives precisely when he means to

It was a dark time, 🤣 @GrimfelOfficial

@alpatovdanila Just something quick I made with solid.js

@rfitzpatrick_io What is that performance monitor?

Spent today making a webGPU tactical breaching training course, my favorite part is a picture-in-picture scope, works by using a secondary threejs camera with render target texture set to the small cylinder on the gun mesh 🎯 Link below, select shooting range 👇

I'm gaining intuition into token cost per task effort, now when I see big one shots, where they used sol ultra to build a big castle I kinda wince. We have now entered the domain of LLM role classifications, composers and task followers. If i had to benchmark, Sol/Fable lead as composers, Grok is my go to task follower, GLM if i'm going to go do something else for a bit. Composers think ahead while the task follower(s) is implementing, natural split of agent maxxing paradigm is starting to happen.

@alightinastorm cities skylines would like a word: "how dare you!" Can't wait to see some traffic sim, going to be a nice system that navigates those roads right there.

@ArifenAziz your sky and lighting is looking much improved! its something i've worked on recently, small changes = big effect, but dam clouds can be tricky haha

My Three.js battlefield new update. Still WIP but getting there... #threejs #buildinpublic #gamedev #3d

@thefronkx Had to copy the IK system to the right hand, much better now, the gun is socketed differently (have to check how) but end result is gun moves = hands move with it, right hand has priority.

@rfitzpatrick_io Btw you don’t hold a foregrip like that, you hold the barrel. You create tension between that hand and the butt on your shoulder as part of your palm pulls on it @officialtavr needs to fix this too

Time for gunplay with threejs, segmented meshes means more articulation for free, slap some IK on there, boom call of duty. Gunsmith will allow material application to each part, then an overall skin like counter strike.

@thefronkx @officialtavr nice! easy enough fix, I put a tweak panel in just for these cases. git pushed👍

@MeshyAI working great for cars! super happy with the workflow I have, importing and customizing meshy outputs with materials in threejs 👍

🚀 Smart Topology is LIVE in Image-to-3D! Generate 3D assets with native part segmentation, clean and accurate, in ~10 seconds. Full control over poly count. Made for game dev workflows, real-time and web-based 3D. We'd love your feedback to help us refine the quality!

@alightinastorm I've felt this recently, the urge to prompt steps 1-12 one-shot, because the thought of prompting -> testing -> iterating -> next step feels exhausting to do 12 times, but the effort is worth it, biggest misconception that vibe coding is a state of being lazy lol

my preferred way of vibe coding is to first do very broad horizontal coding (get the most minimal version of any feature done) to properly understand the domain and feasibility of the project once that is done, i control the focus on the horizontals and AI turns into a deep vertical coding specialist attention is finite. for the ai and for you. if you keep pumping broad instructions across the whole app it'll never produce anything meaningful

forgot to mention my favorite trick to first person body perspective, is just shrinking the head to nothing 🤣

10 guns integrated in a few hours, Fable planned, Grok took first pass at implementation, then handed over to GPT 5.6 sol max to finish functionality, optimize performance and fix bugs.

@0xdizi yep, part of my threejs playground. This worked for cars too so thought guns were natural next step hah

@rfitzpatrick_io segmented meshes with ik is the secret sauce. gunsmith with per part materials plus skins sounds insane. you building this solo
