I don't think there'll be enough time to bring bitmap sequenses into flash, but I'll have really cool 3D wireframe effects for the moving bits of the site :) I already programmed a physics engine that animates an exploding wireframe :) I bent the rules of physics though :P So now, for the sake of "artistic freedom", the gravity constant is no longer constant anymore LOL (actually it just looked better) I'm currently working on making a few buildings turn around in a circle and such. I'm still working on solving both paralax effect and perspective effects in there (objects further away look smaller then when you view them up-close), I can use them seperately but I will need to use some tricks to combine them I think. I'm keeping this thing as bandwidth friendly as I can so I'll only make the user download one png file of a glowing line, then I'll be using coding to build the entire wireframe from coordinates I stored in arrays and I'll use a custom programmed engine for each effect I need to generate. Almost all is modelled directly in bryce, I also used some furniture models I made in amapi a while ago. The brick walls were made out of 10 individual unique bricks, which I then placed randomly, to avoid the repetitive look that comes with tiling textures. I'll be showing a finished render shortly, hopefully before the end of the day :) I need to combine several renders to get the effect I'm after and since the phototextures are getting a little heavy on my pc's memory it's a bitch to render :P The building is indeed a bit like an office. Inside the building stories will be stored, people can upload new stories into the building as well as read stories that other people uploaded. Each room will contain one story :) I made the rooms look a little like offices, with desks and all so that they could be like, the writing room of the writer of the story that's in the room :) I thought that would fit in nicely with the purpose of the site :)
