How to create a 360 degree view!

Hi,

Guys can somebody direct me to tutorials for creating 360 degree views?

I am pretty much new to 3D world and know nothing but Flash and Flex.

Is there any tutorial available for beginners? to create thease kind of view using Flash and AS3

I need something like this: http://www.acura.com/Exterior360.aspx?model=TL%26amp;modelYear=2010

Look at Papervision 3D: http://blog.papervision3d.org/

For something like what you linked as an example, it is normally done using a series of images, one for each view in the 360 degree variation.?So the actionscript involves more a matter of controlling movement along a timeline.?Unless Papervision somehow greatly eases the amount of effort needed to create renderings, you would likely have a hard time creating vehicles with that amount of detail using a 3D rendering code approach.

Hi Ned,

I heard CS4 has some sort of support on 3D objects. Can we use that to implement such a thing?

Currently?I am using CS3 and have no support on 3D. Will an upgrade be beneficial to implement such a thing?

Thanks for the replies.

You're not going to get a 3d model that is as detailed as that car in flash.?Like Ned said - That was done by taking a photo of the car from (up to) 360 vantage points, placeing one on each frame, and simply moving the playhead forward or backward based on user input, to give the illusion of rotating around a 3d object.?The technique is used alot, and I have seen some cool variations - one was one ferraris site, but I can't find it right now.

Rolls Royce also uses that. http://www.rollsroycemotorcars.com
