Procedural Grass Threejs — Development skill for Claude Code

Procedural Grass — Claude Three.js Skill

A Claude Code skill for generating dense, animated procedural grass fields in Three.js, emphasizing **WebGPU compute with WebGL fallback**.

Part of the **Teaching Three.js** skill series.

What This Skill Does

When installed, this skill teaches Claude Code how to generate procedural grass including:

• Bezier-curved blade geometry with tapered triangle strips and configurable segments
• Instanced rendering — hundreds of thousands of blades in a single draw call
• Multi-layer wind system — global sway, rolling gust waves, per-blade turbulence
• Subsurface scattering approximation for realistic backlit translucency
• Terrain-aware placement with slope rejection, density modulation, and jittered grids
• Interactive displacement — grass pushes aside from players/objects
• Distance-based LOD — density fade and blade simplification by camera distance
• 8 grass type presets — lawn, meadow, tall prairie, wheat, savanna, reeds, tundra, tropical
• GPU compute placement via WGSL for WebGPU-accelerated scatter
• Seasonal color modulation and mixed multi-type fields
