3D product stages that hold up after the first eight seconds.
I build interactive 3D product viewers and configurators for ecommerce — the kind where switching a colourway reads accurately, the camera presets land where you meant, and dragging on a phone doesn't stop the page scrolling.
Two things I can help with:
RetroFuture FX — a library of retro-futuristic React/Next.js effect components: pixel dissolve, CRT, hologram, glitch, plasma, starfield. Docs: seacloud9.github.io/retro-fx
ProductStage 3D — a 3D viewer and configurator starter: renderer-agnostic core, Three.js adapter, variant and hotspot schemas, and an accessible React viewer. Docs: seacloud9.github.io/model-orbit-forge
Custom implementation — asset pipeline, configurator logic, accessibility and performance work, integrated into your existing storefront. Reduced-motion support, honest loading states and keyboard operability included, not bolted on afterwards.
The expensive part is almost never the rendering. It's the asset pipeline and the states nobody demos — loading, failure, reduced motion, no-WebGL, keyboard-only.

WHIP: the hyper-motion ad every product drop deserves
A product launch gets about two seconds in someone’s feed. Most of the work goes into the product, and the ad ends up as a still image with a price on it.
WHIP is built for those two seconds. The headline slams in, the shoe whips across the screen, stat tiles snap into a grid, callouts point at the details, and the whole thing ends on a clean brand card. It’s four scenes, loops in 15 seconds, and holds the same energy from start to finish.
I built it as one SVGator template, then dropped in three brands to show that it adapts without breaking:
👟 VOLTA, a cream court sneaker
🔥 KILN, a black and ember hi-top
🥾 HARROW, a full-grain leather Chelsea boot
The animation is the same every time. To make it yours, retype the text, swap one product image and change four colours. Every layer is named, the motion sits on wrapper groups, and you never touch a keyframe. A new brand takes under a minute.
All artwork was made for this template, the brands are fictional and the fonts are open source (Anton and Archivo), so it’s free to give away.
If you launch products, this one’s for you. What should WHIP sell next? 👇

surely in one of the finest submissions.
VELOCITY turns a single drop of water into a hero launch for audio products. Built using the SVGator MCP and designing the products manually with Blender, the template pours water onto any headphone image and floods it into shape, because water takes the form of whatever it fills. That fluidity is the point: creators can swap the product render, brand colours and copy while the animation stays the same, making it ideal for product drops, colourway launches and pre-order campaigns.
Water taking the form of whatever it fills is a gorgeous concept for a launch template, Prajin. Pouring water over a headphone image and flooding it into shape is the kind of fluid drama that stops the scroll. Swapping renders while the animation stays the same is clever engineering too.
Aurum 2.0: Interactive 3D Luxury Watch Website
A website for a fictional Swiss watch brand where the product is the experience. The watch is a real-time 3D model built in code. It assembles itself when the page loads, comes apart layer by layer as you scroll, flips over to show its working movement, and changes finish while you watch.
What you’ll see in the video:
Assembly intro: after a gold loading ring, the watch flies together from its separate parts.
Live dial: the hands show your real local time, and the light on the metal follows your cursor.
Exploded view: seven layers separate as you scroll, each with a label that tracks it in 3D.
The movement: the watch flips to show the movement through the sapphire caseback, with meshing gears, a swinging balance wheel and a turning rotor.
Configurator: three case finishes and three dials, with the reference code and price updating live.
Viewing request: a “request a private viewing” form with validation.
It works on desktop and phone, and respects reduced-motion settings. There’s also a fallback for older browsers.
Aurum is a fictional brand. The concept was designed and built by Meji Builds.
Wow, the scroll bound exploded view is definitely going to look flawless on the website.
