flngr · x · 2026-11-01

Japanese creative studio asobo design is building a Three.js archive of physical phenomena that can be reproduced with real-time rendering.

The PHENOMENA series includes No.09 "Photoelasticity" (colorful stress-birefringence fringes on a bent ruler) and No.10 "Chladni Figures" (sand patterns on vibrating plates). Each piece documents the key visual parameters, making it a nice reference for creative coders and frontend developers.
