Web tour: Flash version SketchUp campus model

While planning of my next hobby model goes on, one of my work projects involves making a Flash web tour using my SketchUp model of The University of Hull campus.

Over the next week I have to make a online 'virtual tour' of our campus. It's a bit of a first for me, but highlights yet another way of presenting your SketchUp models on the web.

Above: One of my rough colour tests for a map which will be included in my Flash web tour. The maps will include a variety of magnifications and locations, designed to give the prospective student a quick overview of the facilities available to them at the university.

One of the great things about Flash is that it is vector based, and so accepts SketchUps EPS file format output. This is ideal for presentations where you want to magnify your artwork, as vector graphics can be scaled without any loss of quality.

The catch is this is my very first Flash project - and I am learning the program as I go along! So do go expecting something all singing and dancing, I'll be glad if I can make a fairly modest 'click and show' presentation. :)

Additionally, here is the link to the simple HTML web tour of the campus I made from my SketchUp model (see above) - again, this shows a means of presenting your SketchUp model online: The University of Hull web tour
