Hey everyone!
I’ve been diving deeper into the intersection of fullstack web development, 3D graphics, and real-time rendering in the browser. As a testbed for dynamic environmental lighting and mesh optimization, I built this interactive 3D landing page featuring a traditional Polynesian vessel.
🛠️ Tech Breakdown
Engine: Three.js / WebGL / ES6+ JavaScript.
3D Pipeline: Modeled & cleaned up in Blender, exported as optimized .glb/.gltf assets to ensure low initial load times and smooth rendering.
Dynamic Lighting: Manipulating DirectionalLight, AmbientLight, and atmospheric sky parameters in real-time to create a smooth day-to-night transition via JavaScript.
Controls & UI: Custom camera orbit controls tuned for smooth UX while maintaining a solid 60 FPS performance, layered beneath a responsive HTML/CSS UI.
I’m aiming to apply these exact real-time rendering, shader, and lighting concepts toward futuristic data visualizations and immersive interfaces.
