If you'd like to experience the project in real time and explore how it was built ( @blender.org to @threejs.org workflow, materials, camera path, sound design…), check out the full interactive version & case study here:

🌊 unboring.net/into-the-lig...

The 360º video was generated using a custom renderer-based approach that outputs an equirectangular projection directly from the live @threejs scene.

I adapted it using THREE.CubemapToEquirectangular by @thespite.bsky.social as a base.

Here you can watch it in full 360º on YouTube.

And if you're curious about how this 360º render was made… 👇

All source code, including the original .blend (Blender) and .als (Ableton Live) files, is available here:

**Recap**

All this runs in just ~5 MB, as a single-codebase implementation that works seamlessly on desktop 💻, tablet 📱, mobile, and VR headsets 🥽.

**Sound design**

One of my 2025 challenges was learning to compose music.

Thanks to Ableton-MCP github.com/ahujasid/abl... and “a bit” of AI help, I crafted an ambient track and memory fragments to blend with the visuals.

**Animations**

I used three types: Transform, Shape Keys, and Skeletal.

Although skeletal animations are usually heavy, I simplified the character armatures to achieve minimal, synced movements with positional audio.

**Materials**

With just ~4 KB of textures and using gradient mapping, you can achieve rich "unlit" aesthetics and painterly vibes.

**Camera path**

I wanted every frame to look like a "painting".

To achieve a smooth, continuous movement, I placed the camera inside an Empty object in Blender (CameraRig) and linked it to a bezier curve.

**The idea**

My goal was to find a workflow to tell immersive stories with Blender and Three.js.

By mixing a continuous single-take camera path and positional audios, I wanted to create a nostalgic, dreamlike journey.

In this project we explored how AI can guide users in 3D environments through...

✅ Providing step-by-step guidance
✅ Observing user actions in real-time
✅ Engaging through riddles, adaptive hints, and voice interactions

More AI experiments coming soon. 🚀
