3D window configurator

Designer windows are a complex product that requires a special approach to sales. Firstly, because they are made purely for the project – it is impossible to look at the finished product in the showroom and estimate how it will look in your home.

Secondly, there are not many options for changing the design of windows.But there are ways to create unique designs even for windows.

This is especially evident in the example of individual construction projects, buildings with unique architecture, as well as glazed terraces, greenhouses and other objects with a large glazed area.

In order to attract potential customers for your design product and turn them into buyers, it is worth giving them the tool and opportunity to fully visualize the result. This is possible if you use the 3D window configurator developed by AVADA MEDIA.

The configurator is a constructor in which the user can create his own unique glazing project. It is hosted and runs right in the browser, so your site visitor does not need to download any plugins or programs. You can display the launch button of the configurator directly in the basic product catalog so that the user can immediately open the set of elements of interest to him and create unique projects from them. The main goal pursued by such a configurator is to give the user the opportunity to work with any elements in your catalog and create individual projects from them, as well as quickly order a window production error in your company.

For this purpose, the configurator provides the ability to set the size and shape of the window opening, as well as the size and shape of walls for greenhouses, terraces and other objects with a large glazing area. With the help of the configurator, the user can create his own unique project of window glazing for a cottage, country house or office, which will be in perfect harmony with the design of the room and external walls.

The window configurator from AVADA MEDIA is a great opportunity: for you – to attract new customers and turn them into permanent ones, and for your customers – to create a window project of their dreams, and not dwell on standard solutions. Working with the window configurator is simple and intuitive. The user does not have to think about the dimensions, as the designer offers a convenient dimensional grid. You can create your own glazing project using a set of profiles, double-glazed windows, color schemes, cornices and other elements, as well as setting the style of opening windows. The user simply drags the necessary elements and builds a window from them, easily changing the configuration of individual blocks.

In the process or after the end of the work, the user can see what he has done from all sides – for this, the model can be rotated 360 degrees, the lighting can be changed, the window can be opened and closed. The textures are natural, so that the user of the configurator can get an accurate idea of ​​the appearance of the material.

The configurator is implemented exclusively on browser technologies. This means that it will run smoothly on all modern browsers, be it mobile devices or desktops. From the server to the client, that is, the browser, a set of scripts is transmitted, which are rendered using the WebGL technology. This allows you to run the configurator even with slow internet connections and weak devices. The constructor is implemented in the form of a set of three-dimensional models with programmed capabilities to perform certain manipulations with them.

Models can be provided by the customer, taken from online catalogs or drawn by our designers – most often a combined approach is used. For rendering three-dimensional models, the blend4web package is used, as well as the 3 DS Max program, in which we create textures and lighting. It is important to provide good visualization of the window glass. Correct physics of highlights and reflections greatly affects the perception of the model. Then comes the programming stage. The configurator is developed in JavaScript, which runs in the browser.

To develop web applications working with 3D graphics using WebGL technology, we use the Three.js and Babylon.js libraries, which provide ample opportunities for programming 3D objects. In some cases, we use the Unity engine, which was used in many computer games. … It allows you to program all movements in the constructor as accurately as possible. 3D window configurator for your business is an excellent solution if you offer users non-standard window solutions.

But it will also be useful for companies manufacturing and installing standard metal-plastic windows, because thanks to the configurator, the user will be able to accurately determine the location, orientation, opening method and sash sizes. That is, to do everything that would otherwise require a great effort of imagination. When the project is ready, the configurator allows you to send it to the manager for calculation in one click, shortening the path for a potential client and removing unnecessary complications. So the window configurator can be an attention grabber and a powerful sales tool for your business, regardless of specialization.
