Clothing is a difficult product for a 3D configurator, because what you are selling is a **surface**: the weave of the fabric and the way a print sits on it. 3D WearLab is a focused showcase of real-time garment visualization, built with React Three Fiber.

## What it demonstrates

- **Fabric texture reproduction**, so textiles respond to light believably,
- **decal workflows**, to apply logos and prints,
- **color personalization** in real time.

It shares its core ideas with the [T-shirt configurator of my course](https://andersonmancini.dev/projects/r3f-tshirt-configurator-course.md).

## Try it

The customizer is live at [3dwearlab.vercel.app](https://3dwearlab.vercel.app/), and the details are on the [project page](https://andersonmancini.dev/projects/3d-wear-studio.md).
