B21 Concepts
We have just released the first version of B21 Concepts development! The web consists of static pages with Flash and Lightbox (Ajax) for image display. Despite its simple looks, we spent countless hours developing B21's site with Cinema4D R9 (older) and Flash.
How we made the Flash menu
Steps involved:
- Gerard (our client) took a shot of B21's floor at their office.
- I developed the whole animation in Cinema4D, using B21's floor picture for the texture of the stones.
- Once it's done, we exported the whole frames as PNG.
- Rinto (our web designer) did further optimization by cropping the stone pictures in Photoshop and animate it with tween animation in Flash.
Caveats
- We encountered some issues with search engine optimization due to the Flash menu, as Google does not read the link in Flash.
- Copywriting definitely needs to be re-done.
- Noscript needs to be implemented.
