Dev builds Grok-themed 3D pumpkin carver with three.js for Halloween

For Halloween, developer Majid Manzarpour built a Grok-themed creative web page called "Carved by Light" using three.js, now live at pumpkincarver.netlify.app: users can drag any SVG onto the page to automatically generate a 3D "light-carved" pumpkin lantern animation — a fun holiday-themed demo.

Confirmed

• The project renders in real time in the browser with three.js, starring a talking Grok pumpkin lantern (Grok-o-lantern)
• The site is available to everyone at pumpkincarver.netlify.app
• Users can drag in any SVG to re-carve the pumpkin; the author notes that clean, logo-style graphics work best
• Supports playback, MP4/PNG recording, one-click tweeting; press H to hide UI elements
• The author later demoed a "spawn-o-lantern" variant following the same play pattern

Why it matters

• It's a low-barrier, browser-based generative creative tool: no 3D modeling needed — just drag an SVG and get a shareable, recordable 3D result
• It showcases the Grok developer community's spirit of quickly shipping interactive demos around holidays, and highlights the viral appeal of parametric visual tricks like SVG-to-3D light carving
