Well,
I've been working on this site with a huge team of other people for over 2 years, and it finally launched today. It'll be a while before I can put up any of the work on my site so I'm showing it on theirs.
Some of the modeling was done in AM... All the hard stuff at least ;-) (namely any statues you see) I wont go into much other detail at this point. I led the group who was responsible for the 3d development. We recreated... The Ancient City of Alexandria, The Giza Plateau in 2 time periods, The Temple of Luxor over 4 time periods, and The entire tomb of King Tut as it existed when it was found. We also created all of the 3d for the Multimedia animations and are working on Fly through animations for all of the sites.
Some tips and tricks for if you try the site out are...
When you are in the multimedia veiwer.. resize the window... The maximum resolution we did the stuff at was 800x800! it also exist in 4 other sizes... the default 400 x 400 and 100 pixel increments up to the 800x800.
If you have trouble clicking on a hotspot in the QTVRs just mouse off it and back on and it should activate. We are working on debugging the viewer still.
Yada yada... I could go on and on...
When you go to the site... to get to the good stuff.. just click take a guided tour and then select multimedia from the list of stuff that comes up and that will bring up all of the rich media stuff to browse...
In addition as a reward for reading my yapping you can click on over 1000 high res images of everything from King tuts burial mask to various statues and other generic stuff. These could make some good source for modeling or anything else and cant be found any where else, trust me I've tried... wish I'd had access to these when I was building all this stuff in the first place.
Anyway take a look and let me know what you think.
