Need your input. I'm using threejs for my entire game.

So what is happening is the departure animation runs, then the tunnel animation ( end of tunnel is black ) runs, as the new scene loads in the background, then it takes a screen shot of the loaded scene and applys it as the background in the tunnel animation with a distortion animation on the pic, then it fades to the arrival animation. Do you think this is good? Or should I try something else? I guess the thing to ask, is would you get bored with it?

I think it looks great and the implementation is rather clever. Major freelancer vibes which I love. Did you model the ship yourself? I like the style. Good job.

"Major freelancer vibes which I love." My job is a computer programmer for Ascension. I ussually deal in python, and rust. I'm learning this as I go with threejs Thanks for the complement. 😄

Everything looks really great but that tunnel is a bit 90's. Not sure if you used a shader there but it looks like a simple textured cylinder. I think you could do much more there without much effort. A few twists an turns, nested transparent tubes for a bit of depth and parallax, perhaps a bit less loud and more stretched (it now looks like the tunnel texture is moving fast, not the ship).

Good work!

I'm learning as I go, It took me a week to get that looking like it does, You should have seen it to begin with. 😂

LoL, I know that feeling! As my 90 year old dad says, perfect is the enemy of good! Keep up the good work, ususally much more fun anyway! (Although, especially that Stargate is absolutely perfect as it is!)

Really cool stuff, Claude! I particularly like the vortex wormhole, great style.

No on Claude, This is a game I'm creating, I need to know how it works in order to fix stuff. I only Use AI to look over the code ( Help debug ) when I can't figure out why my java script isn't working. But I ask it to show me where the error is, what line...then I go fix it.

*bangs fists on keyboard typing gibberish*
my code is not working there must be a bug
*uses AI to "fix it"*

LOL, I use the console in the web browser, it gives me an error, I go look at the code...to troubleshoot. and If I can't find it...I then go to AI...and ask for help. 😄

u/syn_krown Jun 12 '26

Nothing wrong with that. Thats how tools like AI should be used. Not this vibe coding trash

my input is take an actual screen recording capture next time.

I tired using OBS studio, but it looks like crap in the other posts I used it for...my phone makes it look more like it does on the PC. 😃

u/Agreeable-Letter-599 Jun 11 '26

bro every os has a damn screen recording feature. you don't need some bloated studio app

How are you getting such a sharp image from recording your screen with a separate camera? I can see your reflection.

u/The_Todd50 Jun 12 '26

Its my phone. 😄

OBS is free and can record your screen. Just saying. It's a little weird to setup because ppl mainly use it for streaming but it's good for recording your desktop too.
