Interactive 3D Animation

The concept by 3rd Dimension’s interactive 3D animations is to allow viewers to choose where they would like to go within a multi room space. An interactive 3D animation involves the complete 3D modelling of the interior space but viewers can choose which room they would like to visit. Interactive 3D animations generally begin in the hallway of a house of lobby of an office. From here viewers will be given an on screen choice of rooms to visit. Once they choose that room a 3D camera will take them to their chosen destination. This allows viewers to fully explore and get interactive. Interactive 3D animations are used for promotional, explanatory and marketing purposes.

Another form of an interactive 3D animation is Real Time 3D Virtual Tours. Real Time 3D is the instantaneous free movement around a 3D environment. This means that there is no rendering time. Real Time 3D is experienced by the user in the first person and allows them to walk freely around a 3D environment or interior 3D space without the need to carry out any 3D rendering. The 3D environment is pre-rendered using baked textures and baked lighting. This baked texturing and baked lighting avoids the time consuming rendering process. 3rd Dimension use Quest 3D to produce their Real Time 3D models. It allows the importing of 3D models from 3D studio max along with their baked textures and baked lights. There are limitations to Real Time 3D in terms of visual appearance. The most popular use of Real Time 3D includes

Real Time 3D is becoming more popular within the 3D architectural industry. This is particularly the case at a design stage to allow architects to make design decisions quickly by being able to pan around and zoom in and out of a 3D model in Real Time.
