Could you build this?
Partial While standard Three.js setups are simple, Position Based Fluids (PBF) require complex custom GLSL compute shaders and spatial acceleration structures.
What it would actually take: The project requires implementing Position Based Fluids algorithms (Macklin and Müller) via WebGL2/WebGPU compute shaders, handling GPU-based spatial hashing (grid or BVH) for neighbor particle search, and writing custom screen-space fluid rendering shaders (surface reconstruction and refraction) within Three.js.
