Okay this is pretty cool lol
I pulled the ClearWater6.1 water into a separate reflection showcase. FFT waves, shallow water refraction and caustics, with metal balls reflecting the ocean and each other.
Native On runs the water in CUDA and traces the balls with OptiX RTX in ChromiumRTXCuda. Off uses WebCuda/WebGPU. Both have the full water shading and up to 10 reflection bounces.
1440p clip, 6 bounces. Water sim and rendering are all .cu.

I recorded a 16-minute video on how I recreated the iconic T-Rex cliffs of Kelingking Beach with Opus 5.5.
I asked if I should open-source it. So I did.
The live site, the code with all 34 versions and a starter prompt to build your own are free.
Links in the YouTube description, in the reply below.
I used Opus 5.5 to recreate Kelingking Beach, the iconic T-Rex cliffs, in the browser.
Built with Three.js: @threejs
- Code-generated cliffs, stairs and vegetation
- Custom shaders for waves, foam and reflections
- Scanned rock and sand textures for surface detail
- A scroll-driven camera with four lighting modes
All four modes share the same scene. Evening feels the most realistic to me. The light brings out the textures and depth, showing how much lighting matters when making details feel believable.
The hardest part was the breaking wave. Getting the water to rise, curl and collapse into foam as one continuous motion took the most work.
There’s always another detail to polish but I’m happy with this release. Otherwise, I’d keep refining it forever.
Should I open-source this?

Saying Superior Intelligence is okay, But Saying SI - It just doesn't roll off the tongue like AI
@grok Explain due to the complexity of saying the letter S vs A
