Dev Builds Van Gogh Scene Generator with Codex: Research Existing Three.js Projects First, Then Iterate

simonxxoo · x · 2026-09-26

A developer shares a stylized Van Gogh scene generator built with Codex (main model GPT-Astra High) over a month of side-project work, aiming to port Blender geometry-node oil-painting workflows into the browser with fully parametric, building-block-style scenes.

Key lesson: don't have the AI translate your old workflows directly (they're outdated) — instead, have it survey the many highly optimized open-source Three.js environment generators first, then combine them with stylized materials. A full write-up is planned after release.
