A 3D web experience where users can explore clothing on a VRM avatar. The platform allows for interactive outfit changes and platform rotation, creating an engaging shopping experience. This project aims to revolutionize how designers present their clothing ideas, allowing them to see dynamic, realistic garments on avatars with real-time effects, physics, and animations.
As the world moves increasingly online, designers need more than just static images to stand out. This platform empowers creators to present their work in the most compelling way possible—through immersive, real-time 3D technology. With virtual avatars, cloth physics, and dynamic interactions, designers can:
- Pitch ideas with greater impact by showcasing their work in a lifelike, interactive environment.
- Build social credibility and influence by pushing the boundaries of what’s possible in digital fashion.
- Shock and awe audiences and stakeholders by demonstrating the potential of this technology in revolutionizing the future of e-commerce.
The platform is not just about displaying clothing—it’s about elevating the way we think about design, creativity, and online presentation. Whether you’re looking to make an impression on investors or create a viral moment on social media, this tool gives designers the edge to break through the noise.
Currently users are able to:
- View 3D clothing on a virtual avatar that moves and rotates on a platform.
- Experience realistic cloth physics and dynamic shading with custom shaders.
- Seamlessly switch between outfits on the avatar with preloaded 3D models.
- Customize their own avatars for a more personalized shopping experience.

}
React: Provides the structure for the user interface and interaction. React Three Fiber: A React-based renderer for Three.js, making it easy to work with 3D models and environments in a declarative way. Three.js: The core 3D library that powers the scene, camera, and objects. GSAP: Handles animations for the avatar and platform rotation, adding smooth transitions and effects. Leva: For real-time controls and parameter adjustments. GLTF & FBX Loaders: To load and manage 3D models and animations, enabling the seamless integration of Mixamo animations and other 3D assets.
3D Interactive Platform: Users can rotate the platform and change outfits dynamically.
Shader-Based Visuals: Custom shaders enhance the appearance of certain objects, offering unique visual effects like stripes and disks.
Outfit Switching: Smooth transitions between outfits with preloaded avatars to reduce loading times and enhance the experience.
Dynamic Camera: The camera automatically adjusts and returns to its original position based on user interaction, providing an intuitive user experience.
Mixamo Animations: Bring the avatar to life with realistic animations that enhance the user’s ability to see how clothes move and fit in real-time.
Customizable Controls: Use Leva for real-time adjustments to shader effects, lighting, and avatar positioning.
Clone the repository:
bash git clone https://github.com/your-username/vrm-avatar-clothing-configurator.git Install dependencies:
bash cd vrm-avatar-clothing-configurator yarn install Run the development server:
bash yarn start Explore the scene: Open localhost:3000 in your browser to start exploring the clothing configurator.
Preloading Avatars: To reduce loading times between outfit changes. Advanced Cloth Physics: Incorporate more detailed and realistic physics for better visualization. User-Generated Avatars: Allow users to upload and customize their avatars. Augmented Reality Integration: Let users visualize the clothing in their own space through AR.
