Digital Fashion / WebGL

ALTR

A way for fashion houses to showcase and sell archive pieces online, at showroom quality.

Role
Full-Stack Web 3.0 Developer & Platform Architect
Years
2022 — 2023

Context

Fashion houses hold physical archives with no digital equivalent. ALTR gave brands, creators and institutions a way to digitize, showcase and commercialize them.

Problem

High-fidelity 3D garments are heavy. The web experience had to feel like a luxury showroom on hardware that was never designed for it.

Architecture

  • React Three Fiber and Three.js rendering layer with Google Model Viewer fallbacks.
  • Custom CMS so internal teams could publish without engineering.
  • Asset pipeline for optimizing and compressing 3D models before publication.

What I built

  • 3D fashion experiences with interactive hotspots, HDRs and environment configuration.
  • A CMS platform for internal publishing.
  • A model optimization tool for the design team.
  • Front-end and back-end systems end to end.

Technology

Hard parts

  • Load budgets versus visual fidelity on mid-range devices.
  • Giving non-technical teams control of 3D content without breaking scenes.

Outcome

An immersive digital fashion platform with a repeatable asset pipeline the design team could run themselves.
