Hi,

i build at the moment my first website with ProcessWire. Now I want integrate a 3D configurator like on the following site.

Know anywhere a PlugIn or another module with them I can realize my project? Thanks for help.

This is a tricky one, and the solution on the CMS side depends on how you want to do the frontend.

You will not find a module that gets interactive 3d working on your frontend. PW modules mostly offer you ways of storing and retrieving info, but don't actually generate frontend widgets like slideshows and that kind of thing.

First of all, the repeater is a go to module that you'll probably need somewhere along the road. Then just remember you can use file fields for storing 3d models or even JS that you load dynamically on the frontend, image fields for textures, and you have other field types for just about anything you can think of.

For example, look at the nib selector on step 3 of your example. You can use a repeater to store each nib. Inside each repeater item you put in a title, an image file for the thumbnail, and a file field for the 3d model in whatever format you're going to use. Then you just have to figure out how to output that in your frontend so that the nib options can be managed from the CMS.

Start by getting your frontend working statically. From there you'll see how to divide it into smaller chunks that can be served by PW and take it from there.
