I had the amazing opportunity to write an in depth article about the development of my new portfolio on @codrops.bsky.social.
I've tried to write an honest testimony, from self doubts regarding my creative process to technical details and key decisions. Hope you'll find it useful and inspiring!

Working on adding a post-processing implementation using compute shaders for #gpucurtains.
Here's an example with a selective compute bloom pass. Not sure I've used the most straightforward process (depth handling was tricky), but it's working.

As I’ve been building a 3D renderer with #WebGPU, once you get past the fundamentals, it becomes harder to find guidance.
So I wrote a blog breaking down the minimal architecture I created, as well as covering basic #3D terminology like Geometry and Materials.
