3D Surfboard Configurator
Surfers like to ride custom boards that fit their physical build as well as their tastes. In the mean time, surfboard shaping requires a great deal of knowledge. This Actionscript application's aim is to allow people to design their own custom surfboard themselves, by entering trivial parameters.
The user is prompted with his weight, height, and level, as well the kind of reativity he expects from his board (i.e. a slow board that's easy to handle or a faster board that's harder to manoeuvre).
The user is presented with a 3D representation of the board that evolves as parameters are changed.
The user can zoom in/out and rotate the board on all axes.
I programmed the 3D engine myself in Actionscript 2, and established trivial physical rules for board shaping along with local surfboard designers.
The idea was to allow the user to then order his creation and to email a set of measurements to a company that could then manufacture the board and ship it. (There's currently no such thing on the market).
The application can be accessed here.
it was programmed for my thesis as part of my Degree in Software Engineering.
