Subject:Re: Using 3D graphics in online documentation From:cchris -at- toptechwriter -dot- us To:"TECHWR-L" <techwr-l -at- lists -dot- techwr-l -dot- com> Date:Thu, 10 Feb 2005 07:04:48 -0700
Hi Jessica,
It depends on how broadly you define "3D". If that includes photos,
there's a huge number of sites with photos that you could analyze. If,
however, "3D" only means line-art, I don't think you'll find very many
that use it because small screen sizes for web pages and low resolution
limit how detailed such art can be. The only sites I can think of that use
3D line-art are ones that provide online tours of historic sites
(http://www.whitehouse.gov/history/whtour/ for example). Probably some
companies, (Boeing, maybe) might have online maintenance instructions that
use 3D graphics, I'd write to them to see.
Good luck with your project,
Chris
