VariState AERO
Aircraft Configurator - 2026
A browser experience for exploring a private jet outside, inside, on the airfield, and above the clouds. Exterior paint and seat upholstery change on the aircraft itself, so every choice has a shape and a setting around it.
I built the scene, controls, material interactions, and transitions as one experience. The aircraft stays the subject whether you are checking an engine detail, walking into the cabin, or looking out from the cockpit.

The same aircraft, a different presence.
Paint needs to work across the fuselage, wings, and engine housings. A gold finish on the airfield gives a very different read from white above the clouds, even though the aircraft underneath has not changed.
Guided views give visitors useful starting points, while the orbit camera lets them check the surfaces from their own angle.
Give the small details some room.
An engine intake asks more of the scene than a distant hero view. Lighting, reflections, and camera framing need to hold together close to the model, rather than only at one flattering distance.
Step inside and keep making choices.
Seat upholstery can be changed inside the cabin, with the surrounding wall surfaces and wood trim providing a consistent reference. Window light connects the interior to the airfield or flight scene outside.
Walk mode and directed camera moves support exploration without making the visitor learn a 3D editor first.
The horizon belongs in the experience.
The flight scene puts the aircraft above a deep cloud layer. Cockpit and exterior views share that setting, so moving between them keeps the visitor oriented.
The atmosphere and motion support the presentation, with a consistent sky and horizon connecting each of those viewpoints.
Around the aircraft, on the ground.

Compare finishes inside the cabin.
This silent walkthrough follows the passenger cabin and its interior finish controls in the flight setting.
