Flash-y website idea.

Ideas ... I have too many of them. For the longest time I've wanted to make a slick personal website, for no other reason than to say I made it. Math Never Dies paved the way for the view and perhaps even a bit for the content of what I want razing to look like in the future.

With MND we desperately tried to make web pages that didn't only contain information, but set a mood and a context for viewing the content. If you were looking at a dossier the information was in a manilla folder. To get to the manilla folder there was a file-cabinet. There was very little floating text. Even the tutorials were embedded in an old funky looking purple laptop (photoshopped).

So sort of picking up where Math Never Dies left off ... I want to make a full 3D site that looks something like the below, but better.

If you're wondering about the wrecking ball think splash screen. It's just there to fly in to the screen and breaks some glass. How else am I going to justify the domainname razing.net? Then it'll come flying back from the foreground in to the wall ( notice the cracks ).

Once the scene settles the birds on the far right hand side of the screen will take advantage of the flocking logic I'm programming this summer and even the ants, look at the garbage can, survive the transition. That is of course if any of this gets written at all :). In the window on the bottom floor I'll have a little rubik's cube sitting on the sill with a plushy behmoth from KR2. The window with all the oddities looks in to a workshop with other tinkered projects and ideas I want to show off and give away. The car with it's suped up engine sitting dead center will point to the chaosengine, the far left hand wall will have a collage of paintings, and well you get the idea. Sort of quaint, not too busy, but enough to keep people pleasantly surprised.

I think it's better than say ... what I have right now? Anything's better than what I have right now actually. But it's going to be a looooong time before I can even hope to work on this one ... One day.

Ta'da!

Definitely not the final product, but a good start. I'd like to see if I could get the leaves on the trees to change color and have them blow in the wind. Once I manage to get most of the objects in to the scene my first order of business will be to shrink the filesize. The second order of business will be to embed an html pane in the flash animation.
