Embracing the space

I’ve wanted to play around with some 3D web tech for a while and finally found a window. I present ‘Space Chase’ – An interactive 3D experiment with Three.js and GSAP. 🚀

I’ve been pulling on the powers of Cursor AI to aid with this one, and it’s an incredible tool to have by your side for realising new concepts like this. Worth exploring if you haven’t already jumped on the Cursor train!
