  Looks nice! But I'm always concerned about the performance impact of threejs. Considering they're never really seen in 3d, couldn't this be a CSS perspective transform on a 2d graphic to make them look squishy?

  • prathje
    That is a great idea! I initially built them for another project where CSS was not available but it could really push the performance. Right now, their image is cached already when they are not moving but with CSS maybe one could render initial components with threejs and then animate them further with CSS, right? Or would you build them with CSS from the very beginning?

  On a phone they dont seem very plushy

  • prathje
    Yeah, the resolution might reduce the plush effect. Maybe try increasing the strand size or the fur length? Does that look better?

      When zoomed in there is some weird moire/anti aliasing going on as well it seems

      • prathje
        Yeah, this seems to happen when the fur matches the pixels... Do you have a good idea for how to approach this?
