The article discusses the author's experience creating an immersive, interactive digital jelly mesh without a specific client goal, highlighting the creative freedom that comes from unstructured experimentation. Using AI tools like Google's Gemini 2.5 and VSCode, they developed a 3D object that reacts to user interaction, but encountered challenges with software setup and coding challenges. This process illuminated insights around creativity and the evolving relationship between programmers, tools, and AI, especially as some remain hesitant to embrace AI in the creative process.
This was a quick experiment - maybe five or six hours all in. The output was fun, but the process taught me more.
It should move like a jellyfish underwater. It handled the heavy lifting - writing Three.js code, configuring shaders, even adding UI controls.
