Partial The UI and scene setup are vibe-codeable, but a convincing real-time WebGPU lunar renderer with cascaded soft shadows, LOD, and procedural craters needs graphics expertise to tune for quality and performance.
What it would actually take: The stack is WebGPU with WGSL shaders, a scene loop, and multi-layer procedural height and normal textures. The hard parts are the shadow-mapping pipeline, multi-resolution LOD for planetary scale, and performance tuning, which need a graphics programmer who understands GPU pipelines.
