Illuminated Cube Model

This project presents a stylized object model from Blender as a focused interactive viewer. The scene emphasizes reflective surface behavior, silhouette transitions, and volumetric reading through cube environment mapping and a directional light setup. Model preparation focuses on achieving a silhouette that still communicates volume and layering at a small scale. The export pipeline is intentionally simple so the browser viewer can stay focused on presenting the main form cleanly. Structural cleanup and export discipline matter here because reflective and semi-transparent parts reveal shading issues quickly. Stable real-time lighting response depends on keeping those surface transitions predictable.

Material presentation relies on light response and environment reflections to separate glass and metal behavior. With almost no scene dressing, the surface treatment carries the object's visual identity directly. Reflection intensity and exposure are intentionally constrained so bright highlights remain attractive without erasing form edges. That balance is especially important in compact object showcase scenes.

The final viewer is implemented as a native Three.js scene with GLB loading, cube environment mapping, shadowed directional light, orbit controls, and tone-mapping adjustments. Runtime lifecycle handling supports safe reinitialization and shutdown inside the portfolio page. During passive viewing, a slow idle rotation reveals surface breaks and reflective transitions. Even without user interaction, the object retains readable volume and clear material contrast.
