Could you build this?
Partial A basic web toy with a jumpscare can be quickly made, but a 'highly realistic denim fabric tear simulation' requires complex cloth physics and mesh fracturing shaders.
What it would actually take: A true realistic fabric simulation requires WebGL/WebGPU with a custom mass-spring or Position Based Dynamics (PBD/XPBD) physics engine capable of dynamic mesh tearing, thread shearing, and anisotropic fabric rendering. Implementing high-performance dynamic topological changes and realistic cloth simulation in real time requires specialized graphics and physics engine programming knowledge.
