@stroughtonsmith Watching the progress of this app over the past day has been incredible.
@edmn I'm just as much along for the ride as everybody else

I think I'm just making Bryce now? That's a thing

Procedural water to the horizon, sky, island generation

We're doing water now.

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

Procedural clouds seemed like a good idea

@stroughtonsmith is this ever coming to TestFlight? It's making me miss Bryce so much
Sunsets next?

@stroughtonsmith Let us know when you accidentally vibe code us a better Minecraft.

@simsaens this is still a ‘throwaway prototype’
I wasn’t planning on productizing it
