About

Momiji by Thomas Gertenbach is a Japanese maple on a quiet lake, standing on a small round island fenced with wooden posts. Its red leaves cover the ground and drift through the air over grey water dotted with lily pads, while mist rolls past. You can stir the fallen leaves, set the hanging lantern swinging and turn the light from morning to moonrise, when the sky goes violet and the lantern glows red under the branches. It's best with sound on. The scene runs on Three.js with WebGPU, using particles, noise and custom shaders.
