Transformer Demo Goes Open Source
Scott Sun’s Transformer is a live browser experience where a Tesla Cybertruck and Ferrari F1 car transform into battling robots. Built with Claude Opus 5.5, Astra, Three.js, and WebGPU, the project is also being released as open source.
Transformer is a compelling proof-of-work for AI-assisted 3D development: frontier coding models are producing polished interactive experiences, not just CRUD demos.
- –Three.js and WebGPU keep the experience instantly shareable in a browser.
- –Open-sourcing the project turns a flashy demo into a useful learning artifact.
- –The dual-model workflow is interesting, but without prompts, commits, and human-edit history, it is not a rigorous model comparison.
- –The real test will be maintainable physics, animation, asset pipelines, and mobile performance.
