Production note
A 3D preview should feel premium, but it should not block the page from becoming usable.

Do not make WebGL the first requirement for understanding the product. The page should communicate value before the canvas has finished loading.
This makes the page feel fast even when the final experience is visually rich.
Fallback states should be designed, not treated as technical failures. A gradient panel, category label, and model file path can make the page feel intentional while the viewer loads.
Most asset buyers need three interactions:
Complex camera controls can feel impressive, but they often create friction.
A file-based product can define the preview model path, thumbnail list, feature list, and compatible engines. The viewer should read those values instead of hardcoding them.
3D previews are a trust-building layer. They should support the product story, not replace it.
