Claude fails to port a Houdini render to a real-time web version after hours

A Houdini artist shared that he handed his Houdini scene file to Claude, asking it to build a real-time web-based version of the render. After a few hours of work, Claude failed — the author suspects three.js and GLSL limitations were the bottleneck. The original render was pure Houdini, not AI-generated.
A notable example of AI coding tools hitting a wall against professional graphics pipeline complexity.
