Staff product designer Marco van Hylckama Vlieg (ex-Google, Yahoo, Walmart Labs) used Opus 5.5 to improve the hero-section shader on his personal website:
- Visitors can stir smoke and particles with the cursor, with HDR particles for capable screens.
- He calls it deeply satisfying to play with, showing frontier models' practical usability for creative graphics coding.
- A representative case of the 'AI-native design engineer' workflow — designers shipping production graphics code via frontier models.
