Hi community!
Picture:
Made with r147 + importmaps. Thus, better to open in Chrome 
The base of the demo is this example: three.js examples
So I just had a thought “what if I do it with InstancedBufferGeometry?”.

Love “vertexless” this demo is insanely good, it’s incredibly smooth with 1 million triangle instances on a huawei p30 here, really cool stuff!

This is pretty clever! I didn’t know that gl_VertexID existed.

@marquizzo AFAIK, it’s a WebGL2 feature (and gl_InstanceID too)

The pen also works fine for me with the latest Firefox and Opera.

there was an interesting question about interacting with it, whether you can make it react to mouse for example. And I think the answer is yes (probably just pass the the mouse position as a uniform and figure that out in the shader)
