Technical Implementation

The foundation of this experience is a 3D Crocs model, sourced and optimized using Blender to ensure smooth performance on web platforms. I remodeled specific elements, like the straps and charms, to enhance the visual detail and user experience.

Variables were employed to control dynamic changes in real-time, such as color adjustments, strap options, and charm placements. This allowed for a seamless and responsive user experience, with all interactions updated instantly based on user input. Combining optimized 3D assets and using variables in Spline creates a fluid and engaging experience that feels natural and immersive.
