Hey everyone, here's a quick BTS video showing how I made the firewood splitting simulator! It's a combination of 3D scanning in Polycam, working with 3D assets in Cinema 4D, a bunch of texture editing in photoshop, and recording custom sounds, and then putting everything together with Claude in Antigravity.

The first prompt was about 4 pages long but of course many things were missing and I went through 25 versions refining various aspects until I was happy with it. I was using Claude Opus 4.6. let me know if you have any questions and I'll do my best to answer them. You can try it out yourself at https://screen.toys/firewood/

[–]happy_hawking 12 points13 points14 points 12 hours ago (0 children)<br>Finally someone who put actual work into an app that goes beyond what Claude can do.

Really great idea and problem solving! Thanks for sharing!

[–]Glockenspielintern 11 points12 points13 points 12 hours ago (1 child)<br>Satisfying as fuck. Nice work and I admire your dedication to finishing the job!

Might I suggest you remove the auto camera rotate, I want to make stupid wood splits.

Also - really nice work with the auto piling wood, that is very satisfying. The whole thing hits the bulls eye...
