Rotatable object on webpage

[Bwana Kahawa]

Hi,

a client has just been in and witnessed a SketchUp model of his building being spun round in SketchUp. He's needing a website made for the project (no problems there) but asked how we would be able to have a model of the building that people could spin round online, just like in SketchUp.

 

The obvious solution is a Quicktime object and embed it as a movie in a page, but it won't have the crispness or freedom of view angle of the SketchUp viewport.

 

We don't want to allow people access to the actual SketchUp file as a download, for obvious reasons.

 

Any other solutions that people can think of?

 

Thanks,

 

Derek

I know the old program by macromedia, Director, used to have some integration with 3dsmax that allowed you to create a shockwave file that could do what you speak of, but the actual image quality was pretty poor....

 

If you can get connected with a good flash / actionscript developer, flash can be used to create a similar product using your rendered frames, so your image could actually be of better quality.
