Here's a link for a real-time architecture flythrough in Shockwave 3D. We have developed a way to allow people to navigate through a scene using a single mouse click...

The viewing system can use existing CAD data from any package, so if you have designed a cool bit of architecture, let us know.

Comments on the level of ease of use, or lack thereof, are much appreciated...

Light-mapping etc are being worked on.

Hi Error404,

The camera movements will be limited in the next version. The older version was a lot larger ( download-wise ) but had furniture, you could change the color of the walls etc, and the camera was limited in it.

Interestingly, because of our single-clickl approach, we're working on a version that takes input from a webcam and, if calibrated right, waving your arms will rotate the camera, and waving at a door will open it.

Are we crazy or what!!! :P

The demo has had an update, the camera won't go through walls now etc.

Best regards...
