I’m building Isle Lab — a relaxing, painterly 3D terrain builder that runs directly in the browser. It’s part of Zafiro, my custom WebGL/three.js‑based engine that I’ve been developing to make small worlds feel atmospheric and quick to iterate.

Demo: https://playzafiro.com/isle-lab

Getting Started

  • Pick a starter island template.
  • Customize the scene (props/layout) and set the mood (day/night presets).
  • Save your island locally and come back later.

What’s New in This Update

  • Customizable islands (templates → your own variations).
  • A guided onboarding flow so you can get to your first island quickly.

Feedback

If you try it, I’d really appreciate a quick reaction. Even 1–2 sentences of feedback helps a lot. Thanks!
