The Lab

Things a browser shouldn’t be able to do.

Each piece below runs live on your device — fluid you can stir, a drink that pours on scroll, a 3D structure that comes apart and rebuilds. No video. No 3D files. No libraries. Just code.

I build these to find the ceiling, then bring the lessons back to client work. Best on a desktop — and they like a good graphics card.

Real Fluid

A genuine fluid simulation solved on the GPU every frame. Drag to stir it — the swirls are real physics, not a looping video.

The Pour

Scroll and the drink pours in, reveals the headline through the liquid, fizzes, then a wave washes the words away. The exact brief a winery would ask for.

A snow-brick igloo at night, mid-deconstruction
3D · Generated, no models

Deconstruction

An igloo built from hundreds of individual snow bricks — generated in code, not modelled — that lifts apart on scroll and rebuilds on the way back. Drag to orbit it.

These are play. Your project gets the same hands.

Every experiment here started as “could a website actually do that?” The answer keeps being yes — and the craft goes straight into the real builds.
