Any way for users to preview multiple colours?

-- HikaShop version -- : 2.5.0
-- Joomla version -- : 3.4.3
-- PHP version -- : 5.4

Hi,

Is there an add-on available so users can preview different colours on a single product? You can see what I mean here:

rowwest.com/clothing/Unisuits/Unisuit-Sidestripe.html

You can select different colours for the top and bottom of the outfit and see how they look. It's done using Flash, which is obviously pretty obsolete... Is there any kind of add-on for Hikashop that would allow for this? If not, does anyone know how this could be accomplished using something other than Flash? We could perhaps hire a custom programmer, but I can't think of a web technology that would work (except for Flash).

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

This is very achievable with JS and HTML5. We have done similar projects and are one of the approved HikaShop development partners. One example (with a different eCommerce extension) is this drum configurator, which lets the customer choose all sorts of different combinations: www.snarekings.com/kingfigurator/
In that case there are hundreds of unique images being used (HTML5 and Javascript).

We are also currently working on another product configurator that takes a different approach. It's a custom graduation stole and pageant sash designer that has multiple images that layer on top of each other to create all of the potential color combinations. It's still under development so I can't share a link publicly, but each section of the sash (main body, inner border, outer border, fringe, rhinestones) are all different image layers. That way we don't have to create and store all of the potential combinations as separate images. The layered image approach is probably the way I'd recommend going for your unisuit product.
