Overview

From 3D model to interactive experience.

Interactive product experiences start with the same foundation as our 3D rendering and animation work: a precise digital model of your product, built to accurately represent its shape, materials, finishes, and components. From there, we build the viewer or configurator around your goals for visual quality and functionality — from simple 360° exploration to interactive product options, pricing logic, animations, and clickable hotspots.

The experience can be built with real-time 3D or pre-rendered visuals, depending on the product and level of interaction required. Real-time experiences allow customers to freely explore and configure a product as they interact with it, but require a specially optimized 3D model designed for efficient performance across devices. This differs from the higher-detail models typically built for photorealistic rendering and animation, where polygon count and asset size are less restrictive.

Behind the experience is more than just a 3D model. Products need to be optimized for smooth performance across desktop and mobile devices, while more advanced configurators may require custom frontend and backend development to manage product logic, pricing, and available combinations. Your 3D product can become the foundation for multiple experiences, including interactive web content, photorealistic imagery, animation, AR, and VR, with each asset optimized for its intended use.

The Process

How We Build Your Configurator

A clear, collaborative pipeline with checkpoints at every stage — so there are no surprises, only great results.

  1. 01

    Brief & Assets

    Send us your 3D CAD files, samples, or reference imagery. We define the product options, interactions, visual quality, and functionality needed for the experience.

  2. 02

    Modeling & Setup

    We prepare the models, materials, and configurations. Real-time experiences require additional optimization for smooth performance across devices.

  3. 03

    Experience Development

    We build the viewer or configurator around the approved 3D assets, adding product options, animations, hotspots, pricing logic, and other interactive features as needed.

  4. 04

    Testing & Refinement

    We test the experience across desktop and mobile devices, refining the visuals, interactions, performance, and product logic to ensure everything works as intended.

  5. 05

    Launch & Delivery

    We provide the finished experience and supporting assets for integration into your website or ecommerce platform, ready for your customers to explore and configure.

  • Real-time experiences let customers view and interact with the actual 3D model directly in the browser, similar to how 3D graphics are displayed in a video game. This allows for free rotation, zooming, and configuration, but the model and materials must be optimized for real-time performance, so visual quality is generally lower than pre-rendered imagery.

    Pre-rendered experiences use finished images or animations, allowing for photorealistic levels of quality and detail. The image set needs to be carefully planned, however, since the number of required images can grow quickly as product options and combinations increase. This approach offers excellent visual quality, but often with less flexibility in how customers can interact with the product.

  • Yes. We can work from most common CAD formats and use your existing product data as the starting point. For real-time experiences, the model needs to be optimized specifically for web performance and is typically delivered as a GLB file, with optimized geometry, materials, textures, and file size.

  • Yes. Interactive experiences can include pre-built animations, clickable hotspots, feature callouts, and other interactive elements. These can be used to demonstrate how a product works, highlight specific features or components, or guide customers through more complex products.

  • We can build the complete interactive experience, including the 3D content, frontend functionality, and backend logic needed for more advanced configurators. If you already have a development team, we can also provide the 3D assets and work alongside them to integrate the experience. Development, hosting, and third-party services can involve additional costs depending on the requirements.

  • Sometimes, but it depends on the application. Your existing CAD files can typically be used as the starting point for photorealistic rendering and animation, while real-time experiences require the model to be optimized specifically for web, AR, or VR performance. We can determine which assets can be reused directly and which need to be optimized or rebuilt for the intended application.

  • The right approach depends on your product, desired visual quality, level of interaction, number of configurations, and where the experience will be used. We can help determine whether a pre-rendered viewer, real-time configurator, or simpler interactive experience makes the most sense for your goals.
