Here’s a link to my decision kit thing used for making those over 100 decisions. github.com/jnemargut/decisio…

This started as a project wondering if I could make a Gaussian Splat version of a city. Then I kinda got carried away and made a bunch of towns and a ton of looks. It utilizes a bunch of open data: OpenStreetMap for streets and buildings, USGS elevation for the land, the state's laser survey for building and tree heights, and city open data for street trees, bus stops, and benches. I heavily used my Decision Kit framework to plan out the whole thing. Basically, for every big choice (how the water should look, what the menu does, how traffic behaves) I had it make a page with four options, a recommendation and the case against it. Then I just picked. This one was a big project so I made over 100 decisions. It has all types of stuff to make it feel alive. Seasons changes, weather changes, there's migratory birds, stars, cars, lil bouncy folk. Anyway, hope y'all like it. It's just supposed to be a chill and relaxing good time with a ton of fun easter eggs. Press the lil "watch them all" link on the homepage if you just want a relaxing screensaver on in the background. Also let me know your favorite look. I'm a big fan of Poster, Pixel, and Dreamlike (but seeing the claymation folk in the Clay look is also fun) raleighterrarium.com/ #gamedev #threejs

Chill vibes in Wilmington with three.js and Opus 5.5

Kinda wild what kinda stuff you can make with Opus 5.5. Real time weather and migratory birds too. three.js is the best

Gasworks park over here. three.js, Open Data, and Opus 5.5 can make some great stuff.

TFW you make real cool 3d worlds based on the real things utilizing Opus 5.5.

Is this the social media platform where you post pretty water effects you made with AI?

I know folks have all types of thoughts about AI and making stuff. But I was able to utilize AI to take in a lot of open data to make a really cool experience and it makes me happy and I wish more folks did fun stuff like this. raleighterrarium.com

TFW you made a whole lil version of your city

As a designer people often think my job is to make stuff pretty... but I'm really just a context engineer. I help make good decisions by thinking deeply about the problems we're trying to solve for and building the context on what make products stand out. github.com/jnemargut/decisio…

Thinking of renaming my repo /grill-me-with-mocks after seeing this tweet 🎨 github.com/jnemargut/decisio…
