3D Environment Creates New Dimension for Flat Images
3D Environment is an easy to use Flash component that creates high-quality interactive 3D worlds using flat images. Flash developers can design a 3D world using simple flat images with no 3D modeling required.
(PRWEB) February 14, 2007 -- 3DEnvironment, a brand-new Flash component from Flashloaded.com, allows developers give depth and perspective to groups of images or symbols/graphic objects using Macromedia Flash. Useful for web design and graphic design applications, it makes building attractive interactive Flash-based interfaces and displays easy as it requires no 3D modeling. Developers simply define the position of the objects within the three dimensional space using a user friendly interface. 3D Environment is available for purchase and download from Flashloaded.com
"A group of pictures on a typical web page is a flat, lifeless grouping; web surfers can look at them, but not interact with them," said a spokesperson for FFF Web Media, the company behind Flashloaded and 3D Environment. "By using 3D Environment, the individual pictures can be rendered with depth and dimension making the pictures a key part of a 3D interactive world in your web design."
Designs employing 3D Environment let surfers interact with images and make their way through the 3D space, scrolling up and down, to the left and right and zooming in and out in relation to the images. Through depth and perspective, it creates the illusion of a three dimensional world. The end user can also rotate the 3D environment around all axes.
"One design example we have on our site depicts a ride through the solar system," a spokesperson for the company said. "One click and people can travel from Earth to Mars. Each planet appears in relation to the next and on a backdrop of a star filled galaxy, creating the illusion of a 3D world."
Other examples include a group of photos that can be used as a carousel type of web site navigation. This Flash component opens the doors to many more uses. Visit the http://www.flashloaded.com/flashcomponents/3denvironment/ product page to see multiple examples of worlds and interfaces created using 3D Environment.
3D Environment is accessed through the Macromedia's Extension Manager in Flash MX 2004 or Flash 8. Once installed, the program is a fully functional plug-in to Macromedia Flash and can be found in the Components Panel.
The component contains special features to make its implementation easy for the Flash developer and its end user, including the ability to:
- let users navigate using a mouse wheel, keyboard controls, or both
- specify the speed at which images change
- rotate images in all three axes, x, y and z
- pan and zoom using camera controls
- add objects in any of three ways: a user interface, an XML file or through ActionScript controls
- use any movie clip as part of a 3D environment
