Claude ports Willison’s 3D egg from Three.js to vanilla JavaScript.

A Hacker News comment about Paul Ford’s “The Web Is More Than Enough” convinced Simon Willison to try the idea. He made a nudibranch-themed Fabergé egg in Three.js, then asked Claude in the same thread to port it to vanilla JavaScript and WebGL. The two versions weren’t identical. Willison says Claude is capable of 3D modeling in vanilla JavaScript and WebGL without Three.js. He finds the Three.js code slightly easier to understand, though he rarely looks at the code for these 3D projects.
