ecodazoo-ish Object Controls

3:59 PM, Posted by Jim Foley, 8 Comments

View Example (click and drag cylinder around)


Unless you've been hiding under a rock, you most likely have seen the site http://www.ecodazoo.com/. I'm sure we're all agree that its one of the most well executed 3D websites on the internet today.

A member on the MAD VERTICES forum wanted to recreate that type of 'control' for a project he was working on (forum member knalle). So, between the two of us we bounced a project file back and forth until we had something closely resembling the ecodazzo site controls. Here is the project thread.
The links below (and above) demonstrate what we came up with.
When/if you jump into this file the vars and elements to note are:
bounds: determines the top/bottom range of movement for the camera
boundsBuffer: The extra distance the camera will move beyone the camera target when the bounds are reached.
cylinder: Replace the cylinder with whatever object you want to rotate around.
radius: this var will determine the distance from the object (adjust as needed).

awesome example.

But some problems creating swf.

Some functions like cameraType failed.

I update my papervision and still having errors.

I must comment the lines that call cameraType and some lines with camera target to run the script.

Some opinions.

Thanks
