I don't think people realize just how crazy this is getting.
We've reached a point where one person with AI
..can build things that used to require an entire team, months of work, and hundreds of thousands of dollars.
And it's only getting faster.
Here's why I think Three.js will win:
Game engines have been around for decades.
Game development and simulations have relied on them for their tooling.
Three.js keeps improving, catching up with the visual quality of game engines. Except everything runs directly in your browser, desktop or mobile, nothing to install.
And now AI has flattened the learning curve.
People don't need years of technical knowledge to build something impressive. Those who already have game dev or creative web experience can move even faster.
What used to take months or years can now take days, sometimes just hours.
I once worked on a large-scale interactive project that involved an entire team and nearly a year of development (used Unity back then), yet the final result had less visual richness and interactivity than what Threejs + AI can achieve today.
And that still blows my mind.
meanwhile, people are still debating whether AI produces slop, or whether they should reject it.
But AI is already one of the best tools to get complex things done, at a fraction of the time and cost.
of course, there will always be a market for specialized engines and tooling. But for most interactive experiences, the time and cost to build have dropped dramatically.
With browser-native distribution, open-source tooling, and no engine licensing fees, Three.js adoption is already exploding.
And I think we're barely scratching the surface.
What's coming next is going to be massive.
...
just my $0.02.
I rarely ramble this much, so if you actually read all of this, thank you 😂
Here's an example of what one person can build in just a few days.
