Hi, Take a Look at My 3D Architectural Graphics Site

[clambam]

I'm going to give you two links: http://www.emasary.com and http://www.emasary.com/render3.htm. If you go to the second one, click on the "Furniture Models" link. I think it come good.

Hey ClamBam,

The site looked pretty neat, but the Fine Arts Services button glitched on me.

Really John, the link to my fine art page didn't work? And of course that's what I'd rather be doing anyway. Here's a direct link:

www.emasary.com/art.htm

Fel free to buy something.

Best,

Marc

Hey
Nice site----but I was really looking forward to the 3d files, but
all you have are AVI-----which excludes your Mac audience----(cant view)

WHy not convert the AVI to FLASH? this way every w/ flash layer will be able to view all of them------would love to see them all

CHEERS!

Actually most of the animations are MPG, not AVI. There are a few Quicktime files on that page though.

The problem with making the site more Mac-friendly is threefold. First of all, you're talking about a lot of work to convert all those files! Second, the reason I've been using MPGs in the first place is because they are considerably smaller than the AVI and Quicktime formats. I'm already at 325 megs on the web site and replacing the existing files with Mac-compatible ones would push me to or over the limit. Third, and I hate to say this, my client base is almost exclusively PC-based. Architects tend to use AutoCad on PCs and that's that. No one's really complained so far, until you; sorry.

Best,

Marc

Hey Marc,

The link worked for me, just the mouseover in the flash didn't show the picture every time.

As for the video, here is what it can look like in Flash.

Flash MX Supports video now, so it may be a good option for you. I think that would be cool to have the entire site in Flash so viewers that don't have quicktime or a video viewer can still see your work.

Oh I'm not complaining at all! On the contrary, you have made a beautiful site
I'm just offering suggestions 'casue that's what we do---

I concur w/ architects use of PC too---

The only reason I brought it up is because you get the most
incredible compression w/ Flash (Flash MX allows you to
import video)

I just did a site for a security glass company, and the gave me extensive video
footage of glass impact testing/fire testing, etc to incorporate into site----

I used FLASH MX and made 1-2MB Flash movies out of 40-50MB mpeg's--
you can check 'em out at http://securityimpactglass.com

footage of bullets hitting glass, landmines, cynderblocks, etc......
used movie clips as preloaders for dial-up audience---

FYI if this at all helps
what do i know......
CHEERS

I really liked your work. The furniture section was nice. The site was visually interesting and easy to navigate (just the way I like them).

I would have to add my support to converting your video portfolio samples to Flash. I used to support a variety of formats (DivX, QT, MPEG). Now, most all my video work is done in Flash. There are a few areas where playback is not as good as a traditional video codec, but it's something worth looking into.

hope that helps!

In general liked the site, couple of points though.
I think the top left animation would be better in Flash. The gif is a little jumpy and the animated pics from the links on the front page would look better if they appeared quicker.Also not sure about the text over the two colours. All very picky i know :) apart from the above loved it.
