The Importance of Checking 'Thoughts'
The Gemini 3 Pro model displays its chain of thought ('thoughts') before writing the actual code. It is crucial to review this section to ensure the AI is 'aware' of complex requirements like 'fog' or 'lighting sliders' before it begins generating the final output.
Single-File Output Capability
A key advantage of this workflow is that Gemini can bundle all the 3D logic, CSS, and JavaScript into a single, compact 'HTML page', allowing you to run the simulation easily without needing a complex server setup.
Prompts
Voxel 3D Simulation Prompt
Target:
Gemini 3 Pro
Create an interactive 3D voxel simulation of the Golden Gate Bridge using Three.js. Include UI sliders to control lighting, time of day, fog density, and traffic density. Ensure there are details like water reflections, bobbing boats, and background buildings in San Francisco. Output as a single HTML file.
Step by Step
Generating Interactive 3D Simulations with Gemini 3 Pro
- Access the Gemini 3 Pro console or coding environment.
- Enter a prompt requesting a 'voxel' style simulation using the 'Three.js' library.
- Be specific about interactive UI elements in your prompt (e.g., request 'sliders' to control 'lighting', 'fog', and 'time of day').
- Submit the prompt to start the generation process.
- Monitor the AI's 'thoughts' section while it processes to ensure it accounts for every visual element (such as water reflections or background buildings).
- Wait for Gemini to generate the full code output in an 'HTML page' format.
- Save or copy the code into a file with a `.html` extension.
- Open the HTML file using any web browser.
- Test the simulation by adjusting the sliders to see changes in 'traffic density' and weather in real-time.
