Product Visualization

When setting up the customizer, there are two options for product visualization: 2D images or 3D models. Each has its advantages and considerations.

2D Visualization	3D Visualization
Uses high-quality product photography to create flat, vector-based representations. This approach is particularly effective for products where surface-level customization is the primary focus.	Interactive, fully-rendered product models that customers can rotate and examine from any angle. This method excels at showcasing products with complex customization options and multiple components.
Key Advantages Streamlined implementation process Cost-effective solution Simplified content management Optimal for surface-level personalization (text, graphics, logos) Quick product updates and modifications	Key Advantages Complete 360-degree product examination Precise representation of complex products Enhanced customer engagement Detailed visualization of component interactions Superior showcase of material properties
Implementation Considerations Limited viewing perspectives Static product representation It may not fully showcase dimensional details	Implementation Considerations Requires detailed source materials (CAD files or physical samples) More extensive initial setup process Higher upfront investment with long-term value
Ideal Applications Apparel and accessories (t-shirts, hats, bags) Flat surface products (phone cases, mousepads) Print-focused items (stationery, promotional materials) Products with primarily 2D customization needs	Ideal Applications Sports equipment (helmets, protective gear) Complex accessories (watches, jewelry) Furniture and fixtures Products with multiple customizable components Premium items requiring detailed examination

Making A Decision

Consider these key factors when choosing a visualization method:

	Recommends 2D If	Recommends 3D If
Product Complexity	Products have simple, flat surfaces	Products have multiple components or complex geometry
Customization Type	Focus is on surface designs and text	Multiple parts can be customized independently
Budget Priority	Initial cost is a primary concern	Long-term value and customer experience are priorities
Time to Market	Quick implementation is essential	Detailed product representation is crucial
