@stroughtonsmith Quick reminder, you’ve been working on this app for months, right? Months? For some reason I was under the impression that you’ve been working on this for hours, but that can’t be right.
@TheEjj if by months you mean 'an evening'. I spent most of today rendering with it and not doing any actual development

@stroughtonsmith Watching the progress of this app over the past day has been incredible.

Not me offloading raytracing workloads to my iPad because it's so much faster than my Mac…

@stroughtonsmith That sounds like a handy handoff feature for those with older Macs but newer iPad/iPhone.

@stroughtonsmith is that all mostly vibecoded ?

I spent untold hours in Bryce3D as a kid making silly scenes just like this. It did this stuff with machines a thousand times less powerful than my Mac mini. Certainly puts things into perspective…

@stroughtonsmith One area that 3D software is only touching the edges of is using primitives to block out the scene and creating adhered AI renders using reference images. Currently a multi step process or a kludgy Blender add-on but so useful.

@stroughtonsmith loved loved loved Bryce and Strata. was so fortunate to have access to Power Macs in summer school. @ljharb

It's real nice having a complex app like this on iPad, that's for sure. This is by far the most complex and impressive thing I've vibecoded with Codex 5.3. I haven't seen or touched a single line of code, I didn't have a detailed plan to work from — this isn't at all like the structured ports I detailed previously

@stroughtonsmith pretty sure Bryce looked better too, even ifnit did take hours to make an image

I thought my water should have some translucency and falloff, so I can put things underneath it

@stroughtonsmith Do you have experience with 3D applications? Or are you just vibe coding your way through this playing around? If it's the latter, i'm impressed.

@MacObservatory using them, yes. Making them? Absolutely not
