Need advice on designing a video web page

kennysmith

Please tell me how hard is it to do a video web page with
The old star ship as a video web page for the computer and the Internet?, what would it take to do this project and how many hours to do from all of the parts from the old tv show that was back in the late 1966s?. And could you make it to look like that you are in a walking thru a real star ship?.
 
Re: I need everyone to try to answer this question for me please?

You need more than a web designer, you need someone who can do 3D modelling. The answer is, very hard, very time consuming, and very expensive.

Sorry dude.
 
Re: I need everyone to try to answer this question for me please?

Well this is why I posted this question to every one.
Do you know how much time it can take to do this ?.
 
Re: I need everyone to try to answer this question for me please?

For a walk thru, you'd likely need computer animation. Depending on the detail of the models, textures, lighting, shadows, the length of the sequence (through a corridor as an example), and resolution, even a sequence lasting 20 seconds could take hours or longer to render. I once did a 10 second scene with 3 walking characters, moving camera, animated alarm lights, shadows, etc., in low res of 320x280 and it took 5 hours to finish. I wasn't even trying for realism.

You may have more luck getting helpful advice with a thread title that describes what you're asking. I can edit it if you suggest a new title.

ETA: I came up with a new title. Hopefully that'll be more informative for those passing by.

Thank you but, I need a little more detale
Of what kind of program do you think I would need
Then?, see I my self have something in my head

Of work to get it on the computer as in 30:00 sec +
For me it is just trying to fine the right program
To do the job. The name of this old computer
Is this AMIGA 2000, I just want you all to know

Do good work as some of the best anim clips it did back in the late 1988s.
But most of all 2 tv shows just maybe you
Know them?, SEAQUEST and BABYLON 5.
 
I think Lightwave is still the standard, but it costs more than I can afford and have never used it. Some people on the board have though, I believe.

Some cards that can do the job. But as far as the hard drives I

IDE and scsi control card on one computer

Uses a Mac but he say it is like the amiga computer
