It's 2024, I expect all the new design apps to integrate with Figma in a similar way. This is for @splinetool , @womp3D , @Modyfi_ , and even @canva . Please, don't make us export assets anymore. Embrace a good cloud integration for once.

I was checking how the site for the @Apple Vision Pro was made. Can confirm that this section was made with @threejs . They're using a pretty clever technique that breaks the Vision Pro model in segments using GLTFs and it's reassembled on the browser. Pretty darn cool.

New landing work: Almost there... I mapped all the parameters of the scene by media query. On large screens, more polygons, more samples. On mobile, I'm scattering spheres guided by the spring path. And only 2 samples. Added a dotted grid, for good measure.
