A client asked to create a presentation with a floorplan, and when he move the mouse over living room, kitchen etc a larger pic with the rendering will pop up.
I don’t want to use flash (I dont have it, and I dont like it ).
Whats the easiest way to create something like this?
Flash really is the way to go for stuff like this.
However, considering you dont like flash (assuming you mean the proper one)…
It’s flash made for designers, so it’s built from the ground up to be as user friendly as possible and gives constant feedback on what you’re doing.
For your purposes you could have learnt the entire program and done the job within a day, maybe half if you really get into it.
you can also do interactive floorplans with dhtml/javascript…with frameworks like mootools, jquery you can draw semi-transparent regions, rollover effects, animated layers/bitmaps.
