Still needs a lot of work and polish but this is what my launching system with rocketry is looking like inside 3dsolarsystem.online getting closer and closer to the experience I am trying to build.

Everybody keeps posting somewhat impressive demos of Astra using @threejs but literally when you can do this with Opus 5, it doesn't seem all that impressive to me...
Wanted to see how far with a good foundation you could take models like Opus 5, especially seeing all the Astra demos recently, and I decided I wanted a Kerbal Space Program type addition to my 3dsolarsystem.online as an additional playable element, the results look pretty good for a second draft....
Definitely blows a lot of these Astra demos out of the water imo... next step is iron out the bugs but it's working pretty well save for some visual bugs that are easily fixed.

Looks pretty good, was this a one shot? I'd be more impressed if this is a one shot project, as I achieved a more photorealistic look with Opus 4.6 that you can see here, though this was the result of an iterative process rather than a one shot.
You can see more at 3dsolarsystem.online

Some screenshots in 4k showcasing the new graphics... Fable 5.1 is pretty good built with @threejs
Further improvements to the mountains and overall feel of the game, though I'm still tweaking, recorded in 4k hence the performance dip but wanted to show the results in all their glory, still working on the relief to get it as photorealistic as possible without killing perf. This is running in chrome built with @threejs

A preview of the latest updates to taken that make it look even prettier and a tad more photorealistic, done tons of performance upgrades so it loads faster and runs smoother also.
The mountains now look much more realistic with better looking gullies to capture shadows, etc... and pointier peaks, did a lot of tweaking with the water also to make it match the scene.
This runs in the browser built with @threejs

Took a screenshot of Taken and passed it through GPT image to try turn it into a photo, it made it look a bit more realistic, maybe something that we might see running in the browser in a couple of years? I think we're most of the way there and a lot of the photorealism is going to come from refining the techniques we already have that work along with color grading, etc...

piped.video/watch?v=aXZwkStN… I built this entire thing with AI, it definitely has some blind spots but it's already good enough to produce some decent things

Experimenting with monetising one of my little developer tools 👀
jsoneditor.io gets ~7,000 users/year, with a lot of repeat visitors - mostly developers actively using it while they work.
Rather than filling it with generic ad-network crap, I'm opening a few direct sponsorship spots for developer-focused products.
Dev tools, APIs, SaaS, hosting, monitoring, AI, security etc.
If that's your audience, DM me.

Found a cool little easter egg in @googlemaps whilst researching for my game Taken that's set in Montana, the little street view person is a cowboy lmao I love it...

I will never understand why @groupe_lactalis has not distributed Leite Ucal globally it's literally S tier chocolate milk much better than @Chocomel_es
Might look into it myself
