What is grasssystemthreejs?

Soil Studio is an interactive 3D sandbox that runs in a web browser and lets you sculpt and explore a patch of realistic looking ground in real time. It is built with the Three.js graphics library, and even though the repository is named GrassSystemThreeJS, the project has grown far beyond just grass into a full soil and terrain playground with moss, weather effects, and a movable camera all in one scene. The core of the project is a single ground surface that gets its shape and coloring entirely on the graphics card. Sliders in an on screen control panel let you adjust things like mounded terrain, dry cracked patches, and damp moisture areas, all generated procedurally rather than hand drawn. A moss covering can be layered on top with its own texture and raised height, and a full field of grass blades can be added, each one individually placed and animated to bend in the wind while following the shape of the ground and moss beneath it. You can also drop in a 3D model, such as a bundled rusty car or Porsche, and upward facing surfaces on that model will pick up their own moss the same way the ground does. Beyond the ground itself, the scene includes volumetric clouds rendered with a light marching technique for realistic shading, plus a cinematic camera pipeline with depth of field blur, bloom glow, color grading, film grain, and adjustable field of view. A three point lighting setup completes the look, mixing a warm key light, a cool fill light, and a rim light. To run it you need Node.js version 18 or newer and a browser that supports WebGL2. After installing dependencies you start a local development server with a single command and open the printed local address in your browser. Most of the heavier features like grass, moss, clouds, and the 3D model are turned off by default and need to be enabled from the control panel. The project is released under the MIT license.
