We are looking for a programmer with Flash AS3, ASP, PHP, MySQL, SQL, 3D Studio MaxScript knowledge.
We have the structure of the website built, but we need a programmer to build a Flash-based user interface that we can re-skin to fit the look of the site. We also need some database work done. Attached diagrams will help explain what we need.
Basically, this is the situation:
USER INTERFACE
* We have a library of 3D Models and Rooms stored on a rendering server.
* We need a Flash-based User Interface created that will communicate between the website and the rendering server.
* We need databases created to store image files that represent our 3D models and rooms.
* These images will populate the UI.
* Users can select from Rooms, Primary and Secondary objects.
* Users will select a room, then select primary object, then select secondary object, then build their scene.
* Users can change the color of Primary object.
* Users can change the position of Primary object (3 presets)
* Once users click “BUILD,” their selections are transferred to a text file.
* Text file is submitted to folder on rendering server.
* Rendering server creates renderings based on text file. THIS RENDERING SYSTEM IS ALREADY WORKING. It uses 3D Studio Max, and MaxScript. The text file provides orders to 3D Studio Max which tell it which models and rooms to use when creating the renderings. It also tells it how many renderings to create, and where to place them when finished.
* Server places finished renderings into user account on website.
* User is notified that their room renderings are ready for viewing.
* Server side scripting will be PHP
* Application backend will be MYSQL
DATABASE, USER ACCOUNTS
* See attached diagrams for the databases which we need created
* Need administrative control panel that will allow us to easily add new images to the database as we create more models and scenes.
* Users will have ability to create multiple model/scenes within their account
* If users edit their stored scenes, the stored data will be loaded into the UI, and then user can make changes and re-submit, sending in a new text file to rendering server
THIS IS HOW THE TEXT FILE SHOULD BE FORMATTED
d:!WebTestScenesRoomStyleScene.max \ SCENE PATH
d:!WebTestPrimaryModel_NamePriModel.max \ PRIMARY MODEL PATH
d:!WebTestAccessoryModel_NameAccModel.max \ ACCESSORY MODEL PATH
d:!WebTestRendering_.jpg \ Renderings will be saved with this name in this folder. 3ds max will automatically add # of frame after the name like Rendering_0001.jpg, Rendering_0003.jpg. After each frame is rendered, an FTP utility will run and upload the rendering on FTP.
[818,511] \ Size in px of rendering
[0,0,0] \ Position of primary model. We will provide 3 specific values for this. The UI will allow for only 3 choices.
textureswall_tex_01.psd \ Texture for wall image. (Don’t worry about this for now. Just needs to be part of the text file)
[10,10,10] \ RGB color of the wall (don’t worry about this for now. Just needs to be part of the text file)
[5,5,5] \ RGB color of the main object paint
[25,25,25] \ RGB reflection color of the same paint
1.0 \ intensity of diffuse map (needed for some paint effects)
[18,18,18] \ RBG color of the secondary paint (stripes, or patterns)
[25,25,25] \ Reflection of the second color
1.0 \ intensity of diffuse map of the second color
1-6 \ FRAMES TO RENDER
website.com \ your FTP (the domain only)
user \ login of user account
password \ password
/public/render \ folder on the FTP
The site requires a user-based system that will involve a graphic user interface which communicates with stored information on the website database. The purpose of the interface is to allow the user to select a room, and build a scene using a library of rooms, primary objects, accessory objects, and paint colors. Each 3D file stored on the rendering server will have a PNG representation stored on the web server, which will be used in the UI. Each primary object will have an representative image that can be dynamically loaded into the UI, so the user can see the color of the paint applied to the profile of the object they are selecting, as well as see their selected accessory objects displayed. So, each accessory object will also have a reference image that is stored in the website database. Color selections will be reflected visually on the primary object image in the interface. The objects have dimension, so the paint color must be applied in some kind of transparency layer of the Flash interface, so that the object appears to have been
