Could you build this?
Partial A three.js WebGPU demo of fire and smoke is achievable with AI-generated code, but a convincing, performant real-time fluid and VFX system needs graphics and shader expertise that vibe coding will not reliably produce.
What it would actually take: The stack is three.js with the WebGPU renderer, compute shaders in WGSL for a grid or particle-based fluid solver, and a post-processing pass for smoke and glow. The hard part is the simulation: stable advection, pressure solves, and performance tuning across GPUs. Building it well takes graphics programming experience and iterative profiling.
