He’s been an inspiration for me, his demos got me into coding.
Graphics and physics performance in 2026 across all kinds of hardware is wildly impressive.

Fun simulation. The novelty of stuff like this still hasn't worn off for me in this era where we've got ray tracing in-browser.
There's also a denoise node in three (not used in this example), but SSGI still looks kinda blurry.
Work though is still going on: https://github.com/mrdoob/three.js/issues/31892
I've done some very basic rendering code in C from a rendering internals course, and at the same time I'm learning about perspective from the drawing/art side. I wonder how much learning one would help the other, in a practical way.

And next to it was a super beefy computer doing a 3D rendering of a similar scene.
35 years+ later I've got "many spheres in a Cornell box" rendering in my browser, love it : )
tldr it is an ai video, subtle analog horror / backrooms style
