This IKEA thingy is just brilliant! But I think it is a bit out of our reach

Techniology wise I wanted to get an idea from you guys as to whcih solution you would gravitate towards to. My gut feeling would be to use Shockwave because of its 3D features, but install wise flash is more wide spread and
would cause less hassle for our clients.

I guess it depends on how easy and painless we make the process for the site
visitors, and how good lokonig / easy to use we make it....

Thanks!!!

Not necessarily. The flash portion of this work isn't the real budget-breaker or time element in a project like this. This is all about studio setup and setting up camera rigs with a flash controller and a lot of cameras at that - at least 30-40 with remote capabilities. There are studios that do this as a service, and you may be suprised at what you find.

The compositing system used for something like this is typically a flame or inferno (autodesk/discreet) seat which can then motion blend between the still sequences. There are also some cheaper plugins for AfterEffects and Shake that will do this, albeit not nearly as good, which is why this doesn't look perfect in some regards. RE-Flex Morph which comes with Autodesk Combustion 4 will also do this (with a decent amount of hand massaging).

Full 3d rendering is also an option if your environments are available for use in some 3d package.

good luck!
