On May 3, 2024, Classics Garage received an Awwwards Honorable Mention.
What it is #
A classic car configurator built with React Three Fiber: classic sports cars under studio lighting, with mirror-sharp floor reflections and real-time material response. You swap paint colors, toggle headlights, change environments and hear each engine come alive.
What made it different #
A layer of gamification. In inspect mode, you hunt for hidden unique parts scattered across the car, and each one unlocks a new feature. A configurator that rewards curiosity is more fun than a list of options.
One piece of it you can reuse #
The paint change uses the mesh transition material, where the new color spreads over the surface instead of replacing the old one. The project is on its project page, and the mentions are collected in the Awwwards timeline.
