Creative Visualisations and 3D Projects Powered by Claude Opus 5.5

X postEric BuessResource

Eric Buess curates a collection of community demonstrations showcasing how Claude Opus 5.5 is used for programmatic animations, 3D modelling, and video direction, frequently generating code rather than using image models.

Key points

  1. Addy Osmani created a 40-second explainer on browser rendering, with every frame drawn in JavaScript by Opus 5.5.
  2. Creators are employing Opus 5.5 to write Three.js code for interactive camera lens labs, water simulations, and architectural models.
  3. Using tool integrations such as Runway MCP, Claude agent setups directed five-minute documentary footage.
  4. Other implementations include interactive visualisations of LLM token processing, Blender models derived from technical drawings, and mountain renderings generated from elevation data without image diffusion models.

Why it matters

These showcases highlight a paradigm where large language models produce visual media not by sampling diffusion models, but by writing procedural code in JavaScript, Three.js, and Blender scripts that render the graphics programmatically.

Analysis

Eric Buess's thread documents a trend where Opus 5.5 acts either as a procedural graphic engine or as an orchestrator. By generating raw Canvas and Three.js code, the model bypasses traditional video and image synthesis limits, yielding interactive and reproducible visual assets. Together with Claude Code workflows and MCP integrations, the model handles everything from standalone WebGL demos to multi-step documentary production.

@addyosmani made "how browsers work" in 40 seconds, with every frame drawn by Opus 5.5 in JavaScript. A lovely way to explain something most of us use all day and rarely see. t.co/zqhr3P53tn

  1. @emollick @pradeepXkapoor A different route: @gavinpurcell gave his Claude agent, Fig, the Runway MCP and asked for a "high-end netflix style documentary about superintelligence for normies." Opus 5.5 directed it and Runway's model made the footage: a five-minute film. t.co/PQel0gz7eK
  2. @emollick @pradeepXkapoor @gavinpurcell From the replies, @CarsonGragg shared a video: "Civilization - The Hugging Face Incident from the perspective of an agent, as imagined by Opus 5.5." Thank you for adding it, Carson. t.co/PAzWzkFqZ0
  3. @emollick @pradeepXkapoor @gavinpurcell @CarsonGragg Back to anime: @gkurttech made an Evangelion opening with Opus 5.5. t.co/tqA6Yf3q83
  4. @emollick @pradeepXkapoor @gavinpurcell @CarsonGragg @gkurttech A second take on AI history, this one inspired by Addy's "How browsers work" video: @me_shaon made "AI History" with Opus 5.5, Kokoro TTS and JavaScript. t.co/rkOYFtpQUX
  5. @emollick @pradeepXkapoor @gavinpurcell @CarsonGragg @gkurttech @me_shaon One that looks inside a language model: @gamedevsam made Insert Token, an interactive animation of a model finishing a sentence one token at a time, in dense, mixture-of-experts and linear-attention versions. His write-up: "Built with Claude (Opus 5.5)." t.co/IZRBHMMFZB
  6. @emollick @pradeepXkapoor @gavinpurcell @CarsonGragg @gkurttech @me_shaon @gamedevsam @chavez200t made "an interactive model of a ferronickel electric smelting furnace in Blender using only the technical drawings of that furnace and a few photos," and shared it as a Claude artifact. t.co/7KEzBwr1Zb
  7. @emollick @pradeepXkapoor @gavinpurcell @CarsonGragg @gkurttech @me_shaon @gamedevsam @chavez200t Also in 3D, from @wizardbrainz: "Opus 5.5 3d models Unicron." Their take: "It certainly is a step forward." t.co/wyQlGTWvAb
  8. @emollick @pradeepXkapoor @gavinpurcell @CarsonGragg @gkurttech @me_shaon @gamedevsam @chavez200t @wizardbrainz One to try yourself: @Greg_TheBuilder open-sourced two Claude skills that draw real mountains from real elevation data, with no image model. Name a mountain and get an engraving, a woodcut, a photograph, a painting or a looping orbit video. t.co/dOV0mix1E1
  9. @emollick @pradeepXkapoor @gavinpurcell @CarsonGragg @gkurttech @me_shaon @gamedevsam @chavez200t @wizardbrainz @Greg_TheBuilder If you've made a video with Opus 5.5, I'd love to see it. Please reply with it and a line on how you made it: the prompt, the tools, and what rendered it. I'll keep adding them to this thread, with credit to you.
  10. @emollick @pradeepXkapoor @gavinpurcell @CarsonGragg @gkurttech @me_shaon @gamedevsam @chavez200t @wizardbrainz @Greg_TheBuilder @IterIntellectus asked Claude for a video on Western civilization: 2,500 years in just over two minutes, told in line drawings and on-screen words, cut to the beat. He says it came in one shot and that Claude composed the music too. Beautiful work. t.co/PMlutxPOjS
  11. @emollick @pradeepXkapoor @gavinpurcell @CarsonGragg @gkurttech @me_shaon @gamedevsam @chavez200t @wizardbrainz @Greg_TheBuilder @IterIntellectus In the same spirit, @halilbabilli made a 90-second history of the printing press with Claude. t.co/O2Dcf8sxDN
  12. @emollick @pradeepXkapoor @gavinpurcell @CarsonGragg @gkurttech @me_shaon @gamedevsam @chavez200t @wizardbrainz @Greg_TheBuilder @IterIntellectus @halilbabilli One from my friend @noahzweben, a PM on Claude Code at Anthropic: Opus 5.5's claymation version of the videos he made when /remote-control first launched in February. In his words, "Remote Control with 5.5, for when you gotta go!" t.co/dYszKBvr25
  13. @emollick @pradeepXkapoor @gavinpurcell @CarsonGragg @gkurttech @me_shaon @gamedevsam @chavez200t @wizardbrainz @Greg_TheBuilder @IterIntellectus @halilbabilli @noahzweben Some that @claudeai featured today. @RyanSael had Opus 5.5 in Claude Code build an interactive lens lab to explain camera focus, all code in Three.js, in one shot over 1 hour 26 minutes. Move the focus ring and the glass elements shift the sharp plane. t.co/SQHRtn6Hyb
  14. @emollick @pradeepXkapoor @gavinpurcell @CarsonGragg @gkurttech @me_shaon @gamedevsam @chavez200t @wizardbrainz @Greg_TheBuilder @IterIntellectus @halilbabilli @noahzweben @claudeai @RyanSael @hayashimon1 made a clear stream with Opus 5.5 and Three.js. In their words, translated from Japanese: "Clear water, light on the riverbed, even the mossy rocks, all code." t.co/krOQ3nkLca
  15. @emollick @pradeepXkapoor @gavinpurcell @CarsonGragg @gkurttech @me_shaon @gamedevsam @chavez200t @wizardbrainz @Greg_TheBuilder @IterIntellectus @halilbabilli @noahzweben @claudeai @RyanSael @hayashimon1 @onofumi_AI built Osaka Castle with Opus 5.5 and Three.js, rising from line drawings to a detailed, lit castle, then made the same castle in Blender to compare. Translated from Japanese: "I never opened Blender once." t.co/fNXR9ztJkl

  • @ItsGoharr @EricBuess turns out code was the image model all along
  • @pmaxx14 @EricBuess claude created this one for me t.co/5UXeZBlozR
  • @L0rdTwit @EricBuess It cannot itself but if grant it access to video tools through mcp or api it is very good at utilising those and fine tuning the output
