Realtime Interior Renderer

Selling a space that doesn't exist yet

Architects needed to present unbuilt interiors to clients without waiting days for offline renders — and without asking clients to install anything. Existing tools were slow, desktop-bound, or looked flat.

I owned the rendering pipeline end to end: the WebGL scene graph, the material and lighting system, and the real-time configuration layer clients interact with.

Real-time, physically-grounded, in the browser

Custom shaders for physically-based materials, a baked-plus-dynamic lighting hybrid to hit 60fps on mid-range hardware, and a state model that lets clients swap materials, layouts and lighting instantly.

Heavy assets stream progressively so the first frame paints fast, with quality resolving in as the scene settles.

From days to seconds

Client walkthroughs went from pre-rendered videos to live, interactive sessions — shortening the sales conversation and letting architects close in the room.
