Isla del Viento

Wind-Swept Mediterranean Island Sanctuary & Sailing Simulation

01 / What Was Built

Interactive 3D Mediterranean coastal island sanctuary and sailing physics showcase built in Three.js WebGL2 and Blender 5.2 LTS. Explore a sculpted karst limestone cove with a whitewashed terracotta-tiled cottage, bougainvillea-draped timber deck, and swaying coconut palms across Day, Golden, and Night moods — or take the helm of a buoyant wooden lateen sailboat across three-zone Beer–Lambert caustic waters.

02 / Creation Pipeline & Workflow

Created with Gemini Argon using four multi-part headless Blender 5.2 hero builders (stucco & barrel-tile cottage with stilt deck, karst limestone boulders & pebble shelf, vertex-weighted coconut palms & coastal flora, and planked wooden lateen sailboat) paired with Three.js WebGL2 bathymetric Beer–Lambert refraction/caustics shaders and 4-point Archimedes wave-buoyancy sailing physics.

03 / Scene, Simulation & Optical Highlights

01Three-zone Beer–Lambert bathymetric water shader transitioning continuously from crystal refractive pebble shallows to emerald mid-reef to deep cobalt open sea with Gerstner + 4-octave capillary normals and dry cockpit water clipping
02Playable WASD Sail Mode featuring 4-point Archimedes wave buoyancy, rudder steering, signed 3D aerodynamic lateen sail belly billowing with apparent wind, and hull wake ripples
03Switchable Day / Golden / Night circadian moods (PMREM sky IBL, 4096² PCF shadows, AgX tone mapping, 2400 K porch lantern spill) plus live Tune drawer for Sun Elevation, Wind Speed, Wave Chop, and Caustics

Metric Standard & Quality Gates

Coordinate & Metric Datum: Metric Mediterranean cove datum with calibrated shallow-reef bathymetry, dry-cockpit hull freeboard, and 6 coastal & helm camera rigs.
Automated Verification Suite: 7-round blind visual & behavioral verification across Day, Golden, and Night moods confirming dry boat cockpit clipping, connected bougainvillea stems, and wind-coupled sail billow.

Mediterranean Stucco Cottage & Timber Stilt Deck

Blender 5.2 Procedural Architecture & Props

Chamfered lime-plaster cottage with individually ridged terracotta barrel roof tiles, recessed louvered shutters, wrought-iron lantern sconce, weathered timber deck, reactive-glazed pitcher, transmissive glass tumblers, and woody magenta bougainvillea vine.

Karst Limestone Cove, Palms & Lateen Sailboat

Blender 5.2 Sculpted Geology, Flora & Hull Builders

Stratified karst boulders with coastal erosion cavities, instanced multi-tone seabed pebbles, 18-frond vertex-weighted coconut palms with agave & rosemary, and planked wooden lateen hull with taut spar/sail rigging.

Three-Zone Beer–Lambert Water & Sailing Physics

Three.js WebGL2 Custom GLSL + Archimedes Solver

Continuous depth-extinction water shader with projected sunlight caustics, shoreline foam, cockpit water-plane clipping, and live 4-point buoyancy + apparent-wind lateen sail aerodynamics.
