Overview
PureDrive-RT is a cinematic real-time 3D car configurator built entirely with Three.js and WebGL, designed to deliver a smooth, production-oriented browser experience across both desktop and mobile devices.
The project focuses on fast interaction, responsive controls, and stable real-time performance while maintaining a lightweight architecture and clean visual presentation.
Users can freely explore the vehicle, switch materials and colors in real time, interact with animated components, and navigate through cinematic camera transitions directly in the browser without requiring any installation or external application.
A major focus of the project was balancing visual quality with consistent runtime performance across different hardware profiles.

Challenges
One of the biggest challenges was maintaining cinematic presentation quality while keeping the experience responsive and stable on a wide range of devices, including mid-range mobile hardware.
The project also required careful balancing between interaction smoothness, rendering cost, loading behavior, and overall usability to ensure the experience remained fluid without relying on heavy rendering techniques.
Another important focus area was designing a clean interaction flow where camera transitions, animated components, and UI systems work together consistently without creating conflicts or visible interruptions during runtime.
