Re: FLASH: 3D in Flash - Hopefully an enticing proposition

[Michael@BTW]

>From my own investigations in this area I've come to a similar conclusion:

for photo-real VR demonstrations of real objects or spaces, QTVR is the best

way to go. None of the programatic, textured-vector based 3D engines produce

the level of realism, also much harder work to set up than taking a VR

photo. However, for open ended game-type 3D, where the originals are created

on the computer anyway, and project requires open ended navigation, then a

3D engine (for example Nemo3d) is of real benefit.


I have a suspicion of the economic viability of 'Product' demos ala

metastream, as its a textured 3D model of the actual object rather than a VR

photo of the actual object, and I think greater customer trust will likely

come from a photo than from a CG model.
