ORIGINAL PROMPT
Create an interactive miniature cyberpunk city diorama in Three.js. The result should feel stylish, neon-lit, dense, alive, and premium. The first few seconds must have a strong wow effect and immediately hook the viewer. Core idea: Build a small cyberpunk city on a compact platform or floating base, packed with neon buildings, animated signs, traffic, lights, rain, and futuristic atmosphere. Main requirements: Build everything from scratch in code No pre-made 3D models Use Three.js Prefer a single HTML file unless a few small extra files are truly necessary The project must run locally in the browser The city should include: small but dense building cluster neon signage animated windows glowing streets moving vehicles or floating traffic rain or atmospheric particles reflections if possible hologram-style elements if they fit well Interaction ideas: orbit camera day/night is optional, but night is preferred power on / power off mode rain on / off auto camera tour zoom in to explore details Important visual moment: The start should feel very strong. For example, begin in darkness, then power surges through the city and neon signs flicker on one by one, making the whole miniature city come alive. Make the city feel alive and cinematic, with lots of tiny details for the viewer to discover. Optional polish: tiny rooftop details animated billboards subtle fog moving trains, drones, or hovercars little ambient storytelling touches
Claude Opus 5.5 vs GPT-6.1 Sol — building a futuristic cyberpunk city in Three.js. Same prompt, two completely different vibes. • Claude Opus 5.5: 38m 13s | $12.48 • GPT-6.1 Sol: 21m 19s | $1.88 Costs are estimated API prices. Opus went all out with a massive neon city, dense architecture, colorful lighting, and tons of atmosphere Sol took a cleaner, more minimal approach with a dark cyberpunk aesthetic. I prefer Opus for the sheer scale and detail, but Sol looks great for almost 7× less
