Implements god ray / crepuscular ray effect using cone-shaped meshes with custom GLSL shaders and additive blending. Nine rays emanate from the upper skybox at varied angles, colors (gold, blue, cyan), and phases. Each ray has animated shimmer rippling down its length. Also establishes the full Three.js scene foundation: - Renderer with ACESFilmic tone mapping + UnrealBloom post-processing - Star field (4000 points) distributed on a sphere - Nexus Core: animated wireframe icosahedron with glow halo - OrbitControls with damping - Loading screen with progress animation - Audio toggle wired up Fixes #111 Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
◈ The Nexus — Timmy's Sovereign Home
A Three.js environment serving as Timmy's sovereign space — like Dr. Strange's Sanctum Sanctorum, existing outside time. The Nexus is the central hub from which all worlds are accessed through portals.
Features
- Procedural Nebula Skybox — animated stars, twinkling, layered nebula clouds
- Batcave Terminal — 5 holographic display panels arranged in an arc showing:
- Nexus Command (system status, harness state, agent loops)
- Dev Queue (live Gitea issue references)
- Metrics (uptime, commits, CPU/MEM)
- Thought Stream (Timmy's current thoughts)
- Agent Status (all agent states)
- Morrowind Portal — glowing torus with animated swirl shader, ready for world connection
- Admin Chat (Timmy Terminal) — real-time message interface, ready for Hermes WebSocket
- Nexus Core — floating crystalline icosahedron on pedestal
- Ambient Environment — crystal formations, floating runestones, energy particles, atmospheric fog
- WASD + Mouse Navigation — first-person exploration of the space
- Post-Processing — Unreal Bloom + SMAA antialiasing
