IMA MMFX Kiosk photoshopcs3flashcs3

This project uses Actionscript 3.0, Flash CS3, and Photoshop CS3. The kiosk is installed at the Indianapolis Museum of Art in the Manufacturing Material Effects exhibit. I used Papervision 3D to create the 3D animation and objects in 3D space. Tweener was used for the animation. The navigation is touch-sensetive. Each group of Architects is added as easily as adding a single line into an array containing all of the projects.

Directions

  • Allow the video a few moments to load completely.
  • Click play to see a screen capture of the kiosk in action.
