As part of a project to explore the future of car customization online, I created an interactive 3D model of the Datsun 280Z using React Three Fiber. This tool allowed users to customize various aspects of the car, from colors and rims to body kits and interior options. By building this project, I sought to provide a seamless, real-time experience that merges both design and functionality in a customizable 3D environment.
The idea was simple — give users the ability to view a 3D model of a Datsun 280Z and customize it with just a few clicks. The interaction design was centered around a state-based system that updated the car's appearance based on the user's selections. By utilizing React's powerful state management and Three.js's rendering capabilities, the result was an engaging and fluid interface for personalizing this iconic car.
