I made 3d solar system project. Please see this and tell me how it is. Any mistakes? Anything that i could do better.</p> <h2> About My Project </h2> <h3> SolEngine — Interactive 3D Solar System </h3> <p>SolEngine is an interactive 3D Solar System web experience designed to let users explore space directly from their browser. Instead of presenting planets as simple images or a static diagram, the project creates an explorable 3D environment where users can navigate between planets and interact with different celestial objects.</p> <p>The experience starts around Earth and the Moon, allowing users to rotate and explore their surroundings. Users can then choose a planet through the <strong>Visit Planet</strong> system and travel through space to explore it. Desktop users can also use <strong>Free Explore</strong> mode to move more freely through the Solar System.</p> <p>The project includes the Sun, planets, Moon, asteroid belt, spacecraft, satellite, and a space station. Objects can be selected to display additional information and visual annotations. These details remain hidden by default so the main scene stays clean and immersive.</p> <p>A major focus of SolEngine was creating a balance between <strong>realistic visuals, smooth interaction, and performance</strong>. Planet surfaces, lighting, the Sun, stars, orbital elements, and surrounding space were continuously refined during development. Mobile controls were also designed so users can rotate and zoom through touch gestures.</p> <p>The project was built as a modern browser-based 3D application using <strong>Three.js, TypeScript, JavaScript, HTML, CSS, and Vite</strong>, and the finished application was deployed publicly through <strong>Netlify</strong>.</p> <p>SolEngine represents the process of turning a simple idea — <em>“What if you could explore the Solar System yourself?”</em> — into a complete interactive experience that anyone can open and explore online.<br> <a href="https://solengine.netlify.app/" rel="noopener noreferrer">Link</a></p> webdev programming netlify sideprojects
