Reconstruction of Orkut’s BuddyPoke in Three.js

“BuddyPoke was a popular app for creating animated 3D avatars, especially famous in Brazil due to its integration with Orkut between 2008 and 2014. It allowed users to customize characters with hair, clothes, and physical features, as well as create animated GIFs of “pokes” and social interactions such as hugs and kisses between friends.”

I’m rebuilding the engine based on lost media found on Reddit. The original file was in SWF format, and I used FFDEC to extract the resources and reconstruct it with Three.js — for educational purposes only.

Tech: Three.js + Vite.js
