3D ImageScene

3D ImageScene helps you create interactive, Web-ready, modem friendly 3D scenes, based on your digital photos.

Here are some key features of "3D ImageScene":

￭ Photo-Go-Round - a rotating "carousel" of images, a lot like a jewelry case or greeting card display. This type does not require 3D navigation: simply spin the rack, or watch it spin (a little sphere is the on/off switch). ￭ Highway - Familiar and easy: just drive straight down the road and check out the billboards. Go as fast or slow as you like. When you get to the end, use the handy turn around to, well, turn around. If you're the gamer type, you can drive off the road if you insist. (Don't worry, the billboards won't hurt you). ￭ Gallery - Enter a circular room and view the pictures on the wall. Don't worry about getting lost: the cordon keeps you in the middle (where you can't smudge the pictures!). ￭ Photo Album - A 3D version of the real deal. Similar to the Photo-Go-Round, you don't have to fly around to enjoy this photo album. You can tilt it back and forth to get it just right, then flip through the pages of pics. ￭ Browsing Room - This room is full of racks. The racks are full of pictures (sort of like magazines). You can browse through the collections by walking around, or use the preset viewpoints to go from rack to rack. If you've been to BlockBuster, this'll be real familiar. ￭ Simple Landscape - For a truly immersive feeling, walk around among the images. You won't get too badly lost - the room is surrounded by little retaining walls. And the pictures will always rotate to face in your direction. (Try getting that to happen at BlockBuster!)

All of the scene types are designed to automatically link each thumbnail to a larger resolution version of the image. A description can be added if desired (it defaults to the name, pixel size, and file size of the target image).

HTML wrappers can be added to each image (automatically), giving a "seamless" look to the page (and another place to display the description). If you like, you can edit the URL fields, to link the thumbnails to Web pages, instead.

Limitations:

￭ Trial version expires after ten trials.
