Thank You
Walt Disney, Inc. has both a motto and a message. First the
motto: "Save the house where the mouse was born." And
then the message: Kansas City and Walt Disney share a significant
piece of history. For it was in Kansas City that the famous creator
of Mickey Mouse labored in his first cartoon studio. The company
Walt called Laugh-O-Gram was, in fact, located on the second floor
of an all brick building that hugged the corner of 31st and Forest
Avenue in the city's midtown. The fittings were sparse; Walt and
his animator buddies subsisted on meager rations. But inside their
humble walls, the spirit of creativity was alive and well.
This building
is now crumbling and Thank You Walt Disney, Inc. is fund raising
to rebuild it and turn it into a Walt Disney Museum. To learn more

Created
by Trinity Animation. Disney Building Architectural Restoration
design by Dennis Bradley of Bradley & Associates Architects.
Artists:
Jim
Lammers, Michael Rucereto & Amber West
This
real-time walkthrough of the disney building combines
3D gaming advances with architectural 3D visualization
to offer one of the first examples on the web for this
new technology. Trinity Animation's artists used both
3ds max and Maya to create this breakthrough example of
future visualization techniques. Trinity Animation has
been creating architectural animations in Kansas City
for nearly 10 years, though most are presented as printed
still images or movies on video tape.
The
3D real time engine used for this simulation is Shockwave,
which offers a free player for both PC and Macintosh.
This engine can take advantage of any 3D video card you
may have (such as a GeForce) but does not require that
you have one to walk around the building. The engine knows
when you are bumping into walls or going up stairs, and
blocks you or raises you up in these cases. You can click
on doorknobs (where the cursor becomes a plus sign) to
open doors, which will close behind you after 10 seconds.
Sounds trigger in some rooms to tell you more about the
room.
We've
provided previews of the proposed rebuilt Disney structure
in 3 forms below: real-time interactive walkthrough, quicktimeVR
panoramas, and pop-up still images.
