🏝️Fantasy-Themed Floating Island Portfolio (Built with R3F and Hunyuan3D-2)

Hey everyone :waving_hand:

I wanted my portfolio to feel like an immersive experience rather than just another modern flat design — so I built a 3D floating island scene using React Three Fiber, Drei, and Hunyuan3D-2 for 3D model generation.

I’m not really a modeler, so instead of modeling everything from scratch, I experimented with ChatGPT to generate concept illustrations, then used them as prompts in Hunyuan3D-2. The results were surprisingly good — though I still had to refine and optimize the models manually in Blender before integrating them into the scene.

The island represents me as a developer — with my avatar introducing myself through a speech bubble, a signpost that displays my projects in a carousel, and floating crystals that link to my socials and CV. It’s my first time building something this visually immersive for the web, so I’d love your honest feedback — on performance, UX, or creative direction.
