Only if education could be this interactive ❤️🔥
I've had a looong wish to build something genuinely useful through vibe coding, and I finally did it.
A 3D human anatomy application built with @threejs using GPT 5.6 Sol.
It all started with a single design image that I created using GPT Image 2.0. I then used it to generate every 3D organ image, one by one.
Next, I converted each of those images into 3D models using @tripoai (and no, they didn't sponsor this 😄).
After that, I opened Codex, wrote a master prompt based on the design, and gave it the prompt, the design image, and all the 3D models.
Codex built the first version beautifully, but there was one big problem.
Every single 3D model was nearly 120-150 MB. That obviously wasn't practical for the web and was giving a performance of 16fps.
After a few iterations, Codex optimized each model down to roughly 2–5.5 MB while preserving the visual quality, reducing the total asset size from ~900 MB to just 28.6 MB. And each model loads on demand.
Along the way, Codex also generated those anatomical illustrations showing where each organ sits in the human body, and even created the interactive hotspot markers that explain different parts of every organ. It handled all of that.
The process wasn't exactly one shot, but it also wasn't difficult. You just have to do it step by step.
It genuinely felt like building something that could make learning anatomy much more engaging.
The inspiration came from @DilumSanjaya's 3D animal plant cell project. I remember seeing it and thinking, "I want to build something like this one day."
And I did it :D

Closing out post. 🙏 for all the commentary.
✅ Severe AS & normal EF.
1st image: first beat is a post PVC cycle, third beat a PVC.
✅ Overlay of LVOT Doppler on main CW signal in all cycles rules out MR as a possibility.
✅ Notably post PVC cycle’s ejection time is shorter than next beat (see below- black & pink arrows). SV did increase in 1st beat (larger LVOT signal on VTI- visually) associated with ⬆️ contractility (higher PG of AS).
✅ The Anrep effect, a delayed adaptive response to ⬆️ in afterload (AS), results in increased contractility and prolonged ET (average decrease in ET after AVR is ~70 msec). Anrep effect (a slow force response) works best with regular rhythms.
✅ The reason for a shorter ET after post PVC potentiation
of LV contractility is unclear in this example. Would like to hear comments! As always, #echofirst crowd is magnificent.
