Rhumb Studio is a two-person creative web studio operating between Bristol and Paris, founded at the end of 2024 by Jack and Maël. They specialize in immersive, spatial web experiences — building sites that feel like physical places through 3D environments, motion, and interaction. Their technical workflow starts in Blender for scene modeling, texturing, and baking, then moves to the browser using React Three Fiber with Next.js for complex builds or Webflow with a custom Vite template for faster projects. Custom shaders add real-time specular, normal mapping, and ambient occlusion on top of pre-baked scenes for performance without sacrificing depth. The studio deliberately stays small to maintain quality, direct communication, and creative freedom.
