Doing cool things with AI and threejs.

Toronto, golden hour, entirely in a browser tab.

Built on @mrdoob's Slop New York, three.js WebGPU + TSL, real city data, open source.

@Newaicoder Yes a bit of an exaggeration but I am diligently working toward that goal

[John Fewell @johnfewell]

Drop the stickman on any downtown street in my isometric map of Toronto, and you land in 3D Slop Toronto exactly where he fell, facing down the street. 🧵👇

[John Fewell @johnfewell]

Go drop the stickman on your own street: https://t.co/Y9AGlg3F82 📍
Let me know which neighbourhood I should build next. 👇

Planes fly in and out of Billy Bishop on the real arrivals and departures board ✈️, and city traffic just got a brain upgrade: live TTC streetcars, cars that wait behind streetcars instead of driving through them, real turn bans and working traffic lights.

[John Fewell @johnfewell]

@rimianika I did. They run on the ferry schedule

[John Fewell @johnfewell]

Isometric Toronto: Now with traffic. Simulated cars on Toronto's real road network, from the Gardiner to Bloor.

The whole downtown core of my isometric Toronto is drawn: Bathurst to the Don, Bloor to the harbour.

12.66 km² as one 256-megapixel image, about 2% of the city, made in one evening on my laptop.

@neilsuperduper I mean, it's a hard problem. A gun to my head, I'd use Mapbox API. It depends on what you want to do

@ChaddWeston @internetvin I'm hustlin' here! I will try to get to everything eventually

[John Fewell @johnfewell]

@chaoticparams It's mostly just gigabytes of map tiles. I don't know how interesting that is to open source

[John Fewell @johnfewell]

@neilsuperduper For this? Or do you mean in general? The standard solution is using a map provider like Mapbox or MapLibre

[John Fewell @johnfewell]

@Age_of_Greed Soon

[John Fewell @johnfewell]

@B1ackCat_7 Tomorrow

@ChaddWeston @internetvin Done, check now

[John Fewell @johnfewell]

@kforris_w I'm trying. Toronto's so big

[John Fewell @johnfewell]

@neilsuperduper I could. By app, you mean what, mobile app?

[John Fewell @johnfewell]

@chrisjamesdrew There's streetcars right now. Ferries are coming tonight bikes tomorrow.

[John Fewell @johnfewell]

@yegor https://t.co/4bDCn7TVxW I'm going to launch it soon. I'm just waiting until this whole isometric Toronto thing dies down
