Generate an interactive 3D exploded view of a camera lens.

Mechanical Watch Instead

Swap the lens for a watch movement, exploded the same way.

Create an interactive 3D exploded view of a NIKKOR 50mm f/1.8D camera lens, presented horizontally in a near-black photography studio. Give it the precision and finish of a premium product showcase, with soft white strip reflections, subtle warm and cool highlights, a dark floor, and a backlit wall that reveals the transparent glass. The lens should rotate slowly while its components separate along the optical axis.

Show the lens construction in a staged teardown: front nameplate, front barrel and focus ring, six curved glass elements arranged in four double-Gauss optical groups, a five-blade iris, rear barrel, brass focusing helicoid, copper-wound ring, green circuit board with seven gold contacts, metal mount, retaining rings, and adjustment shims. Include an LC-52 lens cap with detailed engraving on both sides. Keep the front nameplate, front barrel, focus ring, and barrel markings together as one moving assembly. Space the components so they remain clear of one another throughout disassembly and reassembly.

Make the materials convincing at close range: black anodized metal, diamond-pattern rubber grip, brushed barrel surfaces, polished steel, brass fittings, copper windings, and blackened iris blades with fine machining marks. Give each glass element a distinct curved profile, a dark edge ring, and subtle green, violet, magenta, or amber coating reflections. Use narrow highlights to keep even the small rear elements visible. Engraved lettering, paint-filled markings, mount alignment dots, and beveled edges should remain crisp. Add a focus-distance scale from infinity to 0.45 m, a secondary scale in feet, paired depth-of-field markings, and an orange infrared index. Replace the camera lens with a mechanical wristwatch: explode the movement layer by layer — mainspring barrel, gear train, escapement, balance wheel and hairspring, dial and hands — keeping the exploded-view slider and the automatic assembly/disassembly demo, with components spaced so they never intersect. Provide separate sliders for the exploded-view amount and iris opening, plus an automatic demonstration that smoothly cycles through assembly and disassembly while the aperture opens and closes. Use staggered movement to reveal the optical groups in sequence. Fade in fine leader-line labels as the lens opens, and reposition the labels smoothly so they do not overlap. Keep the composition calm and legible, with realistic glass transmission and controlled reflections throughout.

Add a guided mode: clicking any component pauses the rotation, highlights that part, and opens a side card with its name, material, and role in the optics or mechanics; clicking empty space closes the card. Provide separate sliders for the exploded-view amount and iris opening, plus an automatic demonstration that smoothly cycles through assembly and disassembly while the aperture opens and closes.
