Getting started with Aircada

Aircada is a powerful platform that allows you to create and manage 3D product configurators seamlessly integrated with your Shopify store. Whether you're new to product customization or an experienced merchant, this guide will walk you through everything you need to know to get up and running.

1. Create your first project

Everything starts inside the Aircada Studio. In this video, you'll learn how to log in to the Aircada Portal and create a new project. Your project is the container for all your 3D scenes and configuration logic.

2. Upload your 3D model

With your project created, the next step is to upload your product's 3D model. Aircada supports .glb and .gltf formats. In this video, you'll upload a model and place it into your scene.

3. Set up camera and interaction

Learn how to configure default camera angles and enable pointer interaction so users can rotate and explore the model naturally. A better first impression leads to better conversions.

4. Link a property to a scene object

Aircada's configuration engine is driven by smart property bindings. In this step, you'll learn how to create a property (like “Material”) and connect it to a mesh in your 3D scene — enabling dynamic changes.

5. Add a color selector

Now let’s make it interactive. You’ll add a color option selector and bind it to the material property. Your customers will be able to click through and instantly see changes in real-time.

6. Style your option buttons

Great UX makes a difference. In this final step, you’ll learn how to customize the look and feel of your option selectors to match your brand. We'll show how to adjust layout, shape, hover states, and active styles.
