Lana Hopkins
Lana Hopkins is CEO and Founder of Mon Purse, a design-your-own handbag and leather goods startup that is rapidly taking its forward-thinking concept global, one online order and major retailer at a time.
Working with in-house developers, Mon Purse created the 3D Bag Builder, a proprietary built front-end (using WebGL and JavaScript in HTML) implementing a vision of an intuitive way for customers to design their very own handbag. The bag builder uses 3D modeling software to render each bag in its fully customized form whilst the consumers select from a range of design options that include leather color, texture, interior lining, premium hardware and monogramming finishes. To render the leathers in the most realistic way, the tool uses PBR, a modeling method recently developed in the gaming-industry for leather armour and skin. The color matching is precise and what customers see is what they get.
