Sakura Crossing is an explorable Japanese suburban railway-crossing neighbourhood built as a real-time Three.js 3D scene and rendered to resemble a hand-painted, cel-shaded 2D anime background. The spherical town includes a railway, shopping street, shrine, school, library, residential areas, festival ground, hills and a drainage channel; users can walk, ride an e-bike, call a train, interact with vending machines and other objects, and orbit out to view the planet. Signs, lanterns and other facade details are drawn at runtime with Canvas2D rather than loaded as image assets, while the outlines use a screen-space second difference of depth instead of an edge filter. The repository runs with Node 18 or newer, Three.js and Vite, and provides development and production-serving commands.

Cinematic Zoom is a browser-based three.js application that flies a camera from orbit to selected locations on Earth and records the movement as an MP4. Users choose a landmark or enter a name, coordinates, DMS coordinates, or a map link, then select a shot preset—Dive, Descent, Orbit, Flyby, or Hyperzoom—a lighting setup, and a duration. The camera's distance, bearing, pitch, lens, and roll each follow separate curves rather than a single interpolation, while the app positions the sun for the selected location and renders Google's photorealistic 3D tiles. The project is built on the three.js 3d-tiles-renderer, with tiles streamed through Cesium Ion and atmosphere and clouds supplied by @takram/three-geospatial. It requires Node 22.12 or newer for local development and a browser with WebGL 2; recording additionally requires WebCodecs with a hardware video encoder. A Cesium Ion token or a Google Maps Platform key with the Map Tiles API enabled is required, and the app stores the token in the browser.

Kage is an interactive five-chapter night walk through a Kyoto mountain temple, rendered live in Three.js and WebGL. As the page scrolls, a camera moves through procedurally constructed architecture, lantern light, fog, rain, drifting leaves, terrain, a vermilion moon, and a restrained bloom pipeline. Generated scene plates, alpha-preserving WebP foreground artwork, editorial typography, and section-specific fade and blur transitions are layered over the live 3D world. The project is a deliberately small static site contained in one HTML document, using a vendored Three.js r149 build without a package manager or build step. It includes chapter navigation, responsive mobile layout, reduced-motion behavior, and a custom cursor for precise pointer devices; it has no runtime network dependency. No license is granted for reuse or redistribution of the original Kage code or artwork, while the included Three.js runtime retains its MIT license notice.

Fable51 Worlds is an open-source, AI-assisted world-generation project that turns a text brief, photograph, or video into a walkable browser scene implemented as a pure Three.js application. Claude Fable 5.1 agent swarms research the location, collecting map geometry, elevation, transit, street information, and storefront data; generation scripts produce procedural façades, street furniture, vehicles, vegetation, fixtures, and other assets; and the runtime assembles terrain, streets, buildings, props, crowds, and traffic from JSON specifications without a game engine, proprietary 3D tiles, or downloaded meshes. Verification uses Playwright to drive the application, capture fixed viewpoints, and compare them with photographs from corresponding locations. Independent reviewer agents covering architecture, geography, technical art, and interaction produce reports for subsequent fix cycles, and each world includes a quality-assurance report.

Jungle Trail is a first-person procedural jungle walkthrough built with Three.js, taking the player along a winding trail toward overgrown stone ruins and a waterfall. It uses no external art assets: textures, meshes, materials, character elements, and sound are generated in code, including GLSL-based procedural textures and normal maps. The scene is assembled from procedural terrain, plants, stone blocks, and a character, with synthesized audio generated at load time. The project is a plain ES-module web application with no build step and can be run through a static file server. It provides desktop mouse-and-keyboard controls, touch controls, and debug and teleport options; the README states that it is intended for a desktop GPU and has no reduced-quality mobile version.
