Re: FLASH: Flash Interactivity in Quicktime Movies

[Michael Penne]

Vecta and Illustrate both output unshaded,

shadow-less, untextured scenes (not small,

either). Fi, I have some examples of various 3d

formats at 

http://www.bigtimeweb.com/nux.html

Note that the QTs are much more efficient at

displaying complex 3d (shading/textures/etc.)

than flash/vecta. For the project you describe,

I'd suggest an interactive QTVR with VR Toolbox

(vrtoolbox.com) you can get pretty close to F3

interactivity + much better (photoreal) graphics.

If you need more interactive depth, than

Livestage (totallyhip.com) can add full Qscript

support.


Another, though less well supported (plug-in

wise) solution is one of the web 3D packages.

Cortona VRML has some very nice examples of

walkthroughs, though for interactive depth I'd

suggest Hypercosm, Shout3d, or Cult3D (in

shockwave).


Hypercosm.com

shout3d.com

culteffects.com


(shout is slow, but does not require a plug-in;

java3d)
