A Poolcore / Cleancore aesthetic visual experience built with Three.js and WebGL 2.0.

Poolcore Water Demo creates a serene, liminal space directly in your browser. It is a modernized re-interpretation of the classic WebGL Water demo, shifted towards a Poolcore & Cleancore aesthetic.

By leveraging WebGL 2.0 and Three.js, this project simulates a pristine, sun-drenched tiled pool with hyper-realistic water physics, refractions, and caustics, designed to evoke a sense of calm and nostalgic surrealism.

• Poolcore Aesthetics: Crystal clear water, pristine tiles, and bright, ethereal lighting reminiscent of liminal spaces.
• High-Fidelity Rendering: Real-time caustics, refractions, and soft shadows powered by WebGL 2.0 floating-point textures.
• Modern Tech Stack: Written in TypeScript, using Three.js for rendering and a custom physics implementation.
• Cross-Platform Zen: Optimized for both desktop relaxation and mobile interaction (supports touch & gravity sensors).
• Interactive Fluidity:
  • Touch and drag to create ripples in the stillness.
  • Interact with floating objects (like the classic rubber duck) that bob with buoyancy.

• Click/Touch: Disturb the surface and create ripples.
• Drag: Guide the floating duck through the water.
• Orbit: Rotate your view around the pool.

This project is a tribute to and evolution of the work by Evan Wallace.
