Images and apps?

I am seeking guidance from a resident expert in relation to images and apps.

If I have an image of something like a kitchen and I want to build a user app like this is there a way of doing this without rendering / tweaking four zillion images within photoshop or similar?

Likewise does anyone know if the tool will be able to be coded in such a way that it will be suitable for website use and also as a Chrome app for example so I don't need to get coded from scratch in both options.
#programming #apps #images
  • Actually Im going to guess that that is exactly what they did. 4 gazillion images that are over layed on one of another
  • I think you are right but I was hoping for salvation...

    I think that the link I refer to was coded in jquery. Code is not more strength so was wondering if web pages and say a firefox app can both be coded in the same way or if both will need to be coded from scratch.
  • I would suggest using an HTML5 canvas.
    Maybe create a 3D model of the kitchen and then have each style of cupboard door, floor, worktop etc. as just a texture that the user can change.

    Infact each part of the image on the site you linked to could be just a simple 2D plane that the app allows the user to select the texture for.

    Have a google for HTML5 3D canvas
  • You would need to find someone to write VECTOR code for you. This way the object is built, then, filled, lighting and shadowing then set. I would check with programmers who write gaming code. They do this sort of vector programming all the time. That's how they make their stuff look so real.
