Does anybody know how to do this?

I want to know how to do the camera pan around the 3d room (and make the 3d room)

what tools were used and any secrets that you know of

I am working on this site [URL=“http://www.classiccaddytours.com/”]http://www.classiccaddytours.com/

and your help, would be greatly appreciated!!

WHAT IS IT YOU WANT TO DO :kir:

I WANT TO CREATE THE PANNING AFFECT AROUND THE 3D ROOM. I AM OK WITH THE BLUR AFFECT. BUT HOW DOES THE CAMERA SWOOP AND MOVE AROUND THE ROOM?

chill with the caps, they use a 3d application to do the movement

man that is a nice site. Yea the use 3d shots and animation. And actually the blur effect can be done in the 3d app as well (plus the dof)

yup its just a 3d animation which plays when you click on a certain area then goes back ot its initial position by reversing the animations frames.

that is a nice site btw

which 3D animation program do you think they used? I tried Cinema 4d but the conversion to FLA sucks

Well it depends on what your using for compression, flash 8 has on2 compression which works wonders you just gotta make some nice renders and play with the settings a bit.

you can also try sorenson squeeze but thats gonna cost some mula.

i really love the music on that site…

so you are recommending I stick with Cinema 4D?

well yeah why not? the compression doesnt affect your 3d capabilities as a designer it has nothing to do with it, you just gotta be good at the 3d app and use compression to your advantage by tweaking the settings.

Good luck :wink:

you could export as QT then use squeeze to compress it or covert it to .flv. But if you are comfortable with c4d then stick with that. The process will be the same no matter the 3d app

So if you had your choice and had a $5k budget, what 3D app would you choose?

If you rendering small stuff an image sequence will often suffice. Otherwise its rendering movies and finding the right compressors. They probably used Maya or 3D max or similar.

I highly doubt this was rendered with a vector engine, that quality vectorised wld probably be a bigger file size than a avi…, it has to be rasterised.

As for cinema 4d, it can do some amazing stuff. I only use maya and max, but i presume cinema 4d is just as versatile. Learning a new 3D prog would probably be not worth the hassel. It would take a couple days to figure out the maya interface and then you’ll just be slow for a few weeks. Cinema 4d is fine

It depends what you know how to use just because some people use maya, max, or lightwave it dont mean that theyre models will be better than yours, its all about skill and what you know how to use.

the program doesnt make the cool stuff on its own if your a good modeler and know your lighting techniques no matter what app you use it will always look great.

Thanks Grim, I have Cinema 4d. I have Sorenson so I will be using that to compress with. Just need to spend more time with the program. The caddy site (http://www.classiccaddytours.com/) is beginning to look a bit hokey so thought I would add some class to it.

its like they say im my country its not the arrow, its the indian who wields it :wink:

no wonder I don’t know ****, need to mix with the indians where you are. Here, in Sweden, we are sadly lacking in Indians. Thanks mate

:lol: np

christ, that mug site is effin’ awesome.
