Real-Time 3D Website — Live Rendering at 60FPS
Sites with real-time rendered 3D — not pre-rendered video — scenes that respond to data, time, user input.
Real-time 3D websites render scenes live in the browser at 60FPS rather than playing pre-rendered video. The advantage: scenes respond to visitor input, current data, time of day. The trade-off: more development cost and tighter performance budgets. Use cases: data visualizations that show live data, product showcases where the product reacts to visitor input, marketing sites where the scene reflects current campaign state (sale countdown, inventory levels, location-specific content). Pricing \$3,500-\$10,000. Three.js + GSAP + custom shaders is the standard stack.
Timeline
Discovery week 1, design week 1-2, development weeks 2-5, integration and QA week 5-6. Total: 4-6 weeks for the standard scope. Larger scope (configurator, multi-scene scrollytelling) extends to 8-12 weeks. I send weekly progress in writing — you always know where the project stands.
Concrete deliverable
What you receive at handover: a working Real-Time 3D Website — Live Rendering at 60FPS on production hosting, all source files committed to your GitHub repo, og-images for social sharing, basic schema.org markup, sitemap entry, and a 5-min walkthrough video. The site is yours from day one — I never hold code hostage.
Engagement model
Fixed price, fixed deadline, payment on delivery. The price covers up to two rounds of revision within original scope. Out-of-scope changes are quoted separately before any work happens. No retainer required, no monthly minimum. We agree once, I deliver, you pay.
Technical foundation
Stack: Three.js v0.170 with GSAP for animation timeline, Lenis for smooth scroll, Vite for build, GLSL for custom shaders when needed. Hosting on a Hetzner / DigitalOcean equivalent — fast first byte, HTTP/2, Brotli compression, CDN for static assets. Lighthouse mobile 85+ guaranteed.
