# Nintendo GameCube Intro Animation

A browser recreation of the Nintendo GameCube boot-up intro, rebuilt from scratch in Blender and rendered in real time with [Three.js](https://threejs.org/). It runs as a little media player: scrub the animation, play it backwards, change speed, orbit the camera, and switch between three soundtrack variants.
