Building a 3D furniture visualiser with Three.js

Blanc Cambouis is a company selling high end furniture to their customer. In order to let the customer visualize the product they are buying we were asked to create a custom real-time 3D object viewer, able to manage different kinds of models and to customize them on the fly.

While Integral Service worked on the web side of the product, us at Da Viking Code worked on the object viewer.

In order to meet their requirement we built a Three.js (WebGL Based) app using the Haxe language and yar3333’s Haxe extern for Three.js, we needed a modular solution to import the furniture into the engine, but also to enable the furniture’s multiple customization option without implementing new logic for each model.

Pixi.js, Haxe and browser’s fullpage cross-platform experiences

ADN 250 is a serious game around relationship marketing, like a Tupperware meeting. You must learn about different product by using them, then you can start selling theses products to different people and convince them to do the same extending your sellers network and making loads of money.

The principal requirement for the project was to make an accessible game, without installation, accessible both on computer and device : a web game.

 

What kind of technologies would you use if you were asked to build a full-page 2D game, available on the web by PCs and smartphones ?

Here at Da Viking Code we chooses the famous Pixi.js !
This HTML5 javascript library using WebGL enable us to easily build 2D game on canvas.

Unfortunately the JavaScript language isn’t the most comfortable one to use, mistake can be made because of the lack of type and compilation. If you feel comfortable with JavaScript that’s okay, but at Da Viking Code we prefer the strictly-typed and compiled Haxe language for our Web projects :). Using Pixi.s with Haxe isn’t hard, we use the well maintained Adireddy’s Haxe extern for Pixi.js !
