3D T-shirt Configurator
Rotate. Zoom. Customise. Order.
Let your customers see their custom t-shirt designs on a photorealistic 3D garment model before they order. Real-time rotation, zoom, front/back/sleeve views, and accurate color rendering — all in-browser, no downloads needed.
Selling Custom T-Shirts Shouldn't Mean Manual Artwork.
Manual, Error-Prone Process
- Customers email artwork files in random formats with no size or placement spec
- Staff manually set up each t-shirt design for the correct decoration method
- No 3D preview — customers approve flat mockups that don't reflect the real product
- Colour and garment variant combinations managed manually per order
- Name and number orders for team t-shirts require spreadsheet juggling
Automated, Self-Service Design
- Customers design t-shirts on a photorealistic 3D garment model in-browser
- Artwork placed, scaled, and previewed in real time across front, back, and sleeves
- Colour and garment variant switching updates the 3D model instantly
- Print-ready files generated automatically per decoration method
- Name and number personalisation: upload roster, auto-apply to each t-shirt in 3D
Everything Your Customers Need to Visualize Before They Buy
360° Garment Rotation
Customers rotate the t-shirt model freely — front, back, left sleeve, right sleeve. Every angle visible before placing the order. Works on desktop and mobile touch devices.
Real-Time Color Switching
Change garment color instantly in the 3D view. Customers see their design on black, white, navy, red, or any color you stock — accurate fabric-tone rendering.
Accurate Print Zone Mapping
Design placement respects actual print zones — front chest, full front, back, left chest, sleeve. No guesswork on where the design will land on the physical garment.
Pinch-to-Zoom Detail View
Zoom into any area of the garment to inspect design detail, text readability, and placement accuracy. Touch-optimized for mobile shoppers.
Multi-Surface Design Placement
Apply different designs to front, back, and sleeve zones independently. Each surface gets its own design layer in the 3D model, rendered simultaneously.
WebGL-Powered Performance
No plugins, no downloads. The 3D configurator runs entirely in the browser using WebGL. Renders load in under 2 seconds on standard connections.
Every Part of the T-Shirt, Fully Configurable
Chest Front
Upload logos, add text, and apply graphics to the chest print zone. Position and scale artwork with precise placement guides on the 3D t-shirt model. Supports DTG, DTF, and screen print output.
Back Panel
Full back panel with independent print area boundaries, bleed, and safe zone configuration. Name and number personalisation for teams — customers enter their own or upload a roster CSV.
Collar and Neckline
Neckline style selection — crew neck, V-neck, scoop — rendered accurately on the 3D model. Add text or artwork near the neckline with position-locked zone constraints to protect print quality.
Left Sleeve
Independent left sleeve print zone for logos, stripes, and small text. Preview sleeve artwork in context of the full t-shirt design. Sleeve length options rendered on the 3D model.
Right Sleeve
Configure the right sleeve independently or mirror the left. Supports separate artwork, colour stripe, or logo badge. Each sleeve zone has its own size constraints and bleed guidelines.
Hem and Bottom
Hem length and bottom edge style shown on the 3D model. Crop top, standard, and longline hem options rendered accurately so customers see exactly how the finished t-shirt will look and fit.
