Chrono is an experimental digital wardrobe built to blend 3D modeling, WebGL, and narrative storytelling into a single, cohesive experience.
The goal was to move beyond passive scrolling. By anchoring the experience in emotion and discovery, digital garments become interactive artifacts waiting to be uncovered.
To bring flat pixels to life, I paired Midjourney character iterations with custom depth maps in Photoshop. By applying a WebGL shader, the image reacts to mouse movements, creating a fluid "fake 3D" parallax effect.
Stepping into Three.js for the first time was my biggest challenge. To make the real-time garment swaps feel natural, I animated a sequence of glitch and noise shaders that gradually peak right as the 3D model changes.

Chrono was born as a creative sandbox. It served as my first hands-on experiment in bridging pure art direction with the uncharted territory of creative coding.
