About Drapery Reveal™

A lightweight, locally processed browser tool for staging cloth reveal animations.

Purpose

Drapery Reveal™ is a browser-based web app (WebGL). Your 3D files are processed client-side in your browser; no executables are offered and nothing is installed. You can export an MP4 of your animation. Drapery Reveal™ covers and reveals a model with a simulated cloth locally on your computer. Open a 3D file, adjust a few intuitive controls, and export an MP4 without installing heavy software or having any of your files leave your machine. The tool focuses on being quick to try, easy to iterate, and practical for showcasing products, portfolio pieces, or concept art. Files are processed locally in your browser.

About the Developer

My name is Peter Gibbons, I made this site to solve my own problem and now it is available for everyone to use. Back in undergrad, I had a 3D model I made for a class project. I also had to make a presentation for this project, and wanted a good looking way to unveil the model. I figured out I would have to learn blender, and therefore, everyone else would too for something that really should be easier. It has evolved into what you see here today, a customizable scene-based unveiling animation. You can use your own textures, colors, and environment settings!

Future Direction

Here are areas being explored for improvement:

  • Richer cloth controls (wind, pins, materials, presets).
  • Higher-quality exports and more format options (like Gifs).
  • Better onboarding, tips, and accessible keyboard controls.
  • Scene save/load and shareable settings links.
