Been building a theme park app with a tiny lantern spirit living in the header. He eats the notifications. If you pet him long enough he falls asleep. :D IMO this is what Flutter is particularly good at. You can control literally everything about how your widgets render and behave. Material and Cupertino are there if you want them, but nothing forces you into a boring native look. You build your design system once and it runs exactly the same on every platform, so you can be as bold and weird with it as you want. Flutter Scene is a complete 3D game engine for Flutter. It's powered by Impeller and Flutter GPU, and it runs on mobile, desktop, and web using nothing but Flutter's built-in SDK features. It's built to help you make any interaction you can imagine for your app real.

Gemini 4 Argon + @FlutterDev is cracked. @antigravity built this car infotainment screen and driver cluster with Flutter Scene in a day. It's all one Flutter app. :) The map uses real OpenStreetMap buildings in downtown Boston and a live route from OSRM. The x-ray chassis uses a custom material, and the brake discs glow as the car brakes. The car is a glTF model with working doors, hood, hatch, headlights, and paint options. The parking screen is a mockup of a 360 surround camera view. No embedded engine, no native map SDK, no platform views, just vanilla Flutter with Impeller and built-in SDK features: Flutter GPU. 3D rendered by Flutter Scene, a complete 3D game engine for Flutter. The app is 14,000 lines of Dart, with a center screen, a driver cluster, and a panoramic view of both. No subscriptions, no paid seats, no royalties. Free and open source, forever. Flutter can just do it all.

Flutter is a 3D engine now. 99 seconds from my Flutter & Friends talk. Everything in the cut is rendered by Flutter on the stable channel, on Impeller and Flutter GPU. No platform views, no native textures piped in from another engine, no custom fork. The engine is Flutter Scene, a complete 3D game engine for Flutter. Complete means graphics, physics, audio, networking, an editor, and tools for AI coding agents, in one open source project. It runs on macOS, Linux, Windows, iOS, Android, web, and custom embedders. It scales down to a single model in a widget and up to full games, and dozens of contributors have landed work in it this year. A scene is a widget. Put it in a Column, stack UI over it, or draw it transparent over the UI so physics objects cast shadows on your buttons. And hot reload works on the scene itself. Change a light or a material in Dart and it updates in place. The full talk covers materials, lighting, the editor, and agent skills. Link in the reply. :)
