We turned handmade art dolls into playable 3D characters in the browser

Описание и применение

Мы превратили ручные куклы в интерактивных 3D‑персонажей, оптимизировав текстуры и загрузку, чтобы они работали в браузере.

Задача

Convert physical handmade dolls into interactive 3D characters while preserving recognizability and meeting web performance constraints.

Результат

Dolls are now playable 3D characters in a browser world; initial load reduced from 98.7 MB to 41.7 MB by skipping the 57 MB ASTC layer in a lite build, while maintaining high‑resolution textures on demand.

Рабочий процесс

• Select maker’s photos to preserve recognizability
• Reconstruct doll into canonical standing pose, normalise background, pose and lighting
• Rig and animate with a small set of stock clips (idle, walk, run, sit, wave, dance)
• Apply quality gate: colour match, feet on ground plane, remove display stand
• Install as floor‑anchored GLB with LODs

Доказательства

We wanted to know what happens if that doll does not stop at the product page. So we built Doll World: a browser 3D world where the physical doll becomes a character that walks around

One texture was 86% of a 22MB asset

Источник

First load was 98.7MB

Источник

We deliberately did not trade away polygons or final texture resolution to get there.

Ship what works, park what does not.
