Having Claude Code perform surgery on GLB model files to fix wonky skeletal animations, and transplant them between different 3D models.

Claude Code ported my GLB mesh loader and skeletal animation code from Plush to Rust in all of 5 minutes... That was... faster than I expected.

Had to show you this one because I think this is genuinely cool. My WIP networked 3D engine that runs in a browser. Also demoing live-editing the world, and prefab objects! :)

Weekend project: mini 3D engine to render a cyberpunk-themed city using WebGL in the browser. It does 60fps on my Pixel 10, with ~1M polygons visible. Does per-pixel lighting and dynamic lights too :)

I repurposed some of my fighter plane simulator code to build a space fighter game where you're racing to destroy the enemy mothership's antimatter core before it can charge a weapon that will destroy the earth. Still a work in progress. Let me know if you would like to play it!

I put together a GLB 3D model renderer that supports skeletal animation. It's written in Plush, the interpreted language I'm building. To implement this, I first added JSON and JPEG libraries to Plush 👩💻 🧸 📷
The source code of the model viewer is here:

Last week I complained about 3D model generation not working well, and someone from Tripo 3D offered me to try their service. It's not 100% flawless, but I'm impressed with the low poly meshes it generates. This is 735 quads! (any resemblance is purely accidental)

That's what I've been doing with Plush. Tho mine is more a tech demo atm than a banger game. I think demo is not too difficult, actual full banger game can be hard, especially if you want a 3D game:

Today's demo: I put together a networked client-server guestbook program only accessible from Plush! 😎 🧸
Would love to have your feedback if you try it out!

I made the boxsim program prettier and added some usage hints at the bottom of the screen, along with more boxes, even though it's just a Plush code example. Sometimes it's the little details :)

Planar bipedal walker + genetic algorithm controller in Plush take one 🎬.
Takes about 20-30 minutes to train on my laptop CPU. This is harder than I thought 😆 Getting the walker to balance and move forward is trivial, but it optimizes for funny walks.

The Orville has a whole episode about the origin story of the Kaylon robots, which become self-aware and start to question orders. The robot company reacts by introducing a remote control with a button to inflict pain to the robots:

A torture test for my interpreted software renderer: testing how well it copes with a 26-floor building that you can climb into with alpha blended surfaces all around. Featuring BSP trees and the awesomeness of S-buffers.

Did some renovations and added a vaulted ceiling to make the space look bigger🏠
(I am totally trying to take stylistic cues from Quake, if you can't tell)

I added a dying animation to my little motorcycle game. If you hit the side barriers, there's a crude simulation of the rider getting projected off the motorcycle 😅😆

I improved my city render and turned it into a little game where you can ride a motorcycle 🏍️ :)
Not bad for an interpreter doing 100% software rendering I think! 😎

WIP city highway at night animation. Rendering in the Plush interpreter at ~60fps. Currently this is only 2.5D and single-threaded, but I'll try to make a true 3D version, and make it look nicer.

What happens when you ask Claude Code to generate a drum and bass step sequencer pattern? Let's find out 😆

I just saw Claude Opus 5 insert a typo into a CSS file, and then fix it in the next edit. These models are getting so good that they are almost human 😆 (j/k)

I put together a minimalistic pure-Rust, CPU-only implementation of the recent LFM2.5-8B-A1B language model from @liquidai that you can directly link into your Rust projects😎

Trying out Qwen 3.5 0.8B to see what it's capable of. Has anyone found viable uses for tiny LLMs with ~1B parameters or less?

I tried to get Claude Code to recreate the Quake start map in my game engine but it really struggled. I even gave it access to a screenshot feature and the original Quake map source. Neither was helpful. I think CC can't process visual information very well.
