React Three Fiber tutorial - 3D Table Configurator

Overview

In this tutorial, we're going to build a 3D table configurator using React Three Fiber and Three.js. This project will guide you through the process of creating a product configurator that can load and modify a 3D model of a table. We’ll cover how to change the table’s legs layout, color, and width smoothly.

Real-World Application of 3D Configurators

Creating 3D configurators is becoming increasingly popular for websites selling products that benefit from visual customization. Imagine being able to offer users the ability to personalize items like furniture, cars, or even gadgets in real-time. A configurator like this is especially useful for e-commerce platforms, allowing customers to visualize products in a more engaging and interactive way before making a purchase. For example, a furniture store could allow customers to tweak the dimensions and style of a table to perfectly match their living space.
