How I Turned a Problem into a Solution: The Story Behind the PBR Editor Online
Introduction
In the world of software development and 3D design, challenges are abundant. For me, each one represents an opportunity—a chance to show that ideas can be transformed into real, impactful solutions. This article is not just about how I created the PBR Editor Online, but also a way to demonstrate to CTOs, CEOs, and recruiters how my skills can help turn their needs into functional, scalable, and effective products.
It all started with a problem I faced personally. As a developer and 3D design enthusiast, I often worked with PBR (Physically Based Rendering) textures, essential for adding realism to 3D models. However, finding an efficient way to quickly preview or edit them was a constant challenge.
The problem was clear:
- Existing tools were heavy, hard to use, or required advanced hardware setups.
- For small or agile projects, it was inefficient to spend hours configuring tools just to evaluate textures.
- There was no simple, fast, web-based solution.
That’s when I realized this frustration wasn’t unique to me. Many developers, 3D artists, and companies could benefit from a more straightforward approach. With that idea in mind, I started the project.
Creating the PBR Editor Online was a journey of constant learning, and the development process involved several key steps:
The first step was straightforward: the tool needed to be simple, accessible, and functional. This meant focusing on:
- An intuitive design that anyone could master within minutes.
- The ability to load textures and see results in real-time.
- The possibility of generating maps like normals or displacement directly from basic images.
Since the solution had to be accessible from any browser, I chose Three.js for 3D visualization. Its flexibility and ability to handle advanced graphics allowed me to build a rendering engine that was not only functional but also visually appealing.
The backend was intentionally minimal, using Node.js, while the frontend was developed with Vite to maximize loading speed. The entire project was hosted on Vercel, ensuring it was scalable and globally accessible.
The development wasn’t without its hurdles. Implementing custom shaders to accurately represent textures was one of the most critical aspects. Ensuring that real-time adjustments were smooth and precise required optimizing every part of the code, from texture loading to graphic processing.
Yet, every obstacle became an opportunity to refine my skills and deepen my understanding. This is what I love about development: the ability to solve problems and turn abstract ideas into tangible tools.
The PBR Editor Online is now a functional tool that allows users to load, edit, and preview PBR textures directly from their browser. Its accessible design makes it ideal for:
- Developers who want to quickly evaluate textures before integrating them into a project.
- 3D artists who need an agile tool for quick adjustments.
- Agile teams seeking efficient solutions without relying on heavy software.

The development of the PBR Editor Online isn’t just a testament to my technical skills; it also reflects how I approach the projects I take on. If you’re looking for talent that can bring value to your team or business, here are a few key takeaways about how I work:
- Transforming Ideas into Real Products: I don’t just write code; I create complete solutions that address real problems.
- Technological Adaptability: From selecting tools to optimizing processes, I can quickly adapt to the needs of a project.
- User-Focused Design: Everything I build is designed with the end user in mind, not just functionality.
- Commitment to Quality: Every line of code I write is an investment in excellence because I believe in delivering products that truly work.
This project is just one example of what I can do. If you have an idea, a workflow that needs optimization, or a problem that seems hard to solve, we can work together to find a solution.
Whether it’s developing specific tools, creating intuitive interfaces, or building full-scale platforms, my focus is always on understanding your needs and delivering results that exceed your expectations.
The PBR Editor Online is more than a technical project; it’s proof of how I tackle challenges and turn them into opportunities. If you’re looking for someone who can not only write code but also understand the real-world impact of a product, I’d love to talk.
