What would it take to build a 3D Vehicle configurator from scratch?

Hello, I am a product designer working on a configurator for vehicles. I recognize that my question may be slightly misinformed but please exercise patience. I am quite new to product design and even a stranger to programming.

I will list the features of the configurator below so I can get recommendations or at least a scope of what languages/platforms to consider or use.

  1. The configurator should feature 3D models 2D images.

  2. The 3D models should have pan, rotated, and zoomed functionality. But it should be limited (not complete 360 degrees all around)

  3. Next, it should be able to toggle between light and dark scenes and change environments. Perhaps a minimum of three different environments.

  4. Next it should be able to change colors and skins and perhaps rims and wheels.

I understand that there’s phases to this— there’s the development of optimized assets for the web and then the code to host the assets. My knowledge is embarrassingly limited. I will appreciate any help, thanks!

How to recreate this globe in Blender

Hello, please I need help recreating this globe in blender.

I really like the delicate thin lines and the map that looks like a type of drawing style known as stippling. (Stippling is when you draw with many dots)

There’s also the fact that I would like each continent to be different colors and emphasis (like some continents should be faint-looking)

Thanks!
