Back then, getting home meant crossing a reservoir in a wooden boat. The bamboo grove and the old house were on the other side of the water.
I grew up and got used to a world of tall buildings. The things I once saw every day slowly became things I had to remember.
I gave GPT-6 Astra a few photographs, and it turned them into this 3D scene. There it was again, on my screen.
Of all the things I've made with AI, this might be the one I love most.
One day, the real place may no longer be there. And I can no longer go back.
At least here, I can look at it once more.
For this, I'm grateful to AI.
This is my first Three.js project, and God knows how bad the initial performance was—even my M4 Mac mini couldn't handle it. I've done a lot of optimization since. Huge thanks to meshoptimizer (https://github.com/zeux/meshoptimizer).
