AI summary
In a Hacker News comment, Simon Willison describes building a Nudibranch-themed Fabergé egg in Three.js and then asking Claude (Opus 5.5 Medium in regular Claude Chat) to port it to Vanilla JS in the same thread, producing a non-identical result he links along with a transcript. He concludes Claude Opus 5.5 can do 3D modeling in Vanilla JS plus WebGL without Three.js, and finds the Three.js code slightly easier to understand, though he rarely reads the code for these 3D projects.
