Interactive Diablo photos
Discussion
Have had a concept in my mind for some time of posting up photos of the Diablo that would allow some interaction from the viewer, things like being able to open doors and engine compartments, as well as changing the viewing angle.
I have finally got round to taking all the photographs I needed to allow this all to work, and would welcome any feedback on the concept from you guys.

Hi,
Entertaining idea. I remember seeing a Diablo for sale at Carlo's (is it Top Gear) and being able to run over a couple of different views with the mouse which had the effect of making the door open. It kept my simple mind occupied for minutes.
In terms of what you've done there, the only thing I would suggest it managing the way the photo's transition. When downloading (it may be my laptop that is slow) the effect was lost as the screen went temporarily black. It looked great when I then used my back/fwd icons on the browser as the image was there instantly. I dont know if you could change the transition settings somehow?
As an asside, thats a superb looking machine.

I did wonder about the transition time when switching to a new view, which is why I have used relatively lo-res pictures to help speed up the download time.
My web building skills are fairly basic and if there is a way of pre-loading any subsequent images to avoid the delay when switching, I wouldn't know how to implement it. Perhaps I should go and post a question in the computing section.

I treid that too!I did think about having a 'turn the lights on option' but I didn't think of it until after I had taken all the photos. Currently there are 128 different photos available to cater for all the different door/compartment combinations. As the lights are visible in 96 of those combinations, it would have meant an awful lot more photos and work to make it available.
Has anyone found the 'start the engine' option yet?
Just kidding, but again, I did think about it. Just need to make a suitable recording.
