Galaxy Modifier — Procedural Galaxy Generator
Galaxy Modifier is a visual experimentation project focused on procedural generation and particle-based rendering in 3D. Built using vanilla Three.js, the tool allows users to tweak parameters from the UI and instantly generate unique galaxy formations, exploring how data-driven inputs affect spatial patterns and motion.

Context
This project was created to explore how complex visual systems—like galaxies—can be represented using simple mathematical models and real-time rendering on the web.
What Was Explored
- Procedural galaxy generation using particle systems
- Real-time parameter controls (density, spread, rotation, color)
- UI-driven updates reflected instantly in the 3D viewport
- Hands-on learning of Three.js, shaders, and render loops
Outcome
Galaxy Modifier strengthened my understanding of procedural visuals and interactive 3D systems, serving as a foundation for more advanced experiments in WebGL-based data visualization.
