Hi all... Thanks for all of your ideas and thoughts. Really appreciated. From what I can gather creating a vray photorealistic realtime interactive product display is a bit beyond what's doable as it stands. I really like what quest3d offers but I really want the finished piece to look as as real as possible and not like a game. So I think that I will try to scale down my ideas slightly… What I think should be possible for me to do is to use a 360 flash based product viewer and set up a whole load of renders that go all around the product on a fixed single axis… This sort of thing I guess(but hopefully a little smoother): http://www.flashxml.net/360-product-viewer.html But I am still really keen to be able to make an image slightly interactive. As in clicking on a draw or cupboard door to make it open to simply show what is inside. I figure that I can animate these sequences using 3ds max and vary and then edit it in after effects. But what I am unsure about is then how to make this interactive on a website. Would this be possible using flash? to make one sequence play into another at the click of a button kind of thing?? If anyone knows if this is possible or has any flash knowledge then please let me know, it would be greatly appreciated!! Thanks Again Matt

Hi, I'm not sure if what I'm going to ask is possible or not but here goes… I'm looking to create a rendered image that is fully interactive in a viewing sense… i.e: it can be rotated like just as you can rotate a model in sketch up and zoom / possibly pan etc… The idea is to be able to use these on a website to fully display products. Please let me know if this is at all possible even if very tricky, i don't mind a challenge! One other thing whilst I'm here… I would also like to be able to create renders that you can animate on touch i.e: click on doors and they open (all rendered). Yet again I realise that these things are a bit ambitious but if you know anything about any of this then your comment would really be appreciated!! Cheers Matt
