Interactive solution

Post by brownie »

Hi everybody,

I'm looking a realtime solution to make something like what you can find on the Ikea website : in a predefined space you can choose between various props and furnitures, and interactively displace them in the room.

My first choice would be obviously Unity, but I don't know if it's the best choice. As I'm dumb in programming, I'm looking something that works out-of-the box (more or less).

Other options : Director, Flash... I don't know....

Hi brownie,

Unity is the way, but without pro programming skills it will be impossible to make it.
I've done several archviz stuff in Unity, for example:
http://total3d.hu/carlton/index_en.html or http://www.falco-woodindustry.com/Ujdon ... rvezo.html

You would like to create a more complex system than my examples, and you will need a very pro Javascript or C++ programmer.
I've been searching out of the box solutions for years, but no seccess. If somebody is able to create such a high level mini 3d editor, like Ikea's program, he wont sell it, he will offer it as a service.

Soon I'll start working on a 3d kitchen designer app based on Unity, but it seems that my experience will be not enough. (I'll have to learn again :| )

If yo find a solution, please let me know!

Thank you for your answer. The most difficult thing is to allow the viewer to add, move or swap furnitures in a scene. Otherwise what you show in the links is just top-notch.
