We’re going to build a small WebGPU “moment”: a piece of MSDF text in a Three.js scene that disintegrates over time, shedding dust and petals as it fades away. It’s inspired by the Gommage effect from Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, but the goal here is practical: use the idea as a reason to explore modern Three.js WebGPU + TSL workflows in a project that’s visually rewarding and technically real.

Ali Charts said transactions larger than $1 million on the Dogecoin network “dropped by 94.6%, from 109 to just 6, over the past four weeks,” pointing to a sharp pullback in large-ticket activity during the same period DOGE has been probing support.
