How they are made
Each landmark is modelled in Three.js from its real proportions, with the surroundings compressed to fit on one island. The scene is rendered at 360 × 640 pixels, outlines are drawn where the depth jumps, the colours are reduced to a small palette, and the image is scaled up without smoothing, so every frame looks like hand-placed pixel art. The same scenes run live on each page and in our 15-second reels.
Want one on your phone? Every diorama is also a free pixel-art phone wallpaper, by day and by night.
