Web Design Mauritius – Be Responsive

The Internet has become an integral part of everyday life. Even on the move, more and more surfed with mobile phone and tablet. Therefore, it is enormously important that the homepage on all devices is clearly displayed and easy to use. Responsive web design is essential for a clean presentation, but also for search engine optimization.

The Importance of Responsive Web Design

“Responsive” translates from the English as “react”. Translated to the web design, one could say the design “responds” to the device on which it is displayed. When creating a homepage in Responsive Web Design, it specifies how the page is displayed on different screen sizes. On the monitor with at least 1024-pixel resolution, the user sees a classically constructed website, usually with a few columns next to each other.

If the same page is called up with the tablet, which has significantly less width, the columns adjust themselves so that a clean picture develops. Even further, the content of the page must adapt when it is opened with the smartphone. In this case, the page recognizes the resolution and usually has no more columns, but sorts the content among themselves.

3D in your web pages

How to put interactive 3D images on a web page? What technical solutions for them to be visible by a maximum of Internet users, in other words supported by a wide range of browsers? How to implement them?

Several solutions exist, but none has yet emerged: technologies, equipment and standards are constantly changing in this area, so the choices are not obvious. To schematize, there are solutions that have proven themselves but which do not seem to have a future (Flash 3D, Java3D) and promising solutions based on standards but which are not yet universally supported (WebGL, CSS3 3D).

Flash 3D: proprietary solution (Adobe), user side requires the Flash plug-in, design side a good knowledge of ActionScript or go through a dedicated 3D Flash engine (Away3D, CopperCube …).

Java3D: open-source solution, Java API (not included in the JDK), user side requires the Java virtual machine, design side some knowledge of 3D programming or go through software like WireFusion.

The Flash plug-in and the JVM are installed on almost all (98%) desktop computers. Continue reading →

What is 3D modeling?

3D modeling allows you to create 3-dimensional objects on a computer. Thus, it is possible to realize complex objects, environments, characters, buildings, landscapes, etc. from simple shapes such as spheres, polygons, cones or curves that define structures. Everything is possible. To dress the objects, they are covered with textures.

Once done, even if you start having results, the work is not finished. Indeed, it is possible to apply characteristics to each element created to set it in motion, for example, or to assign reactions that will occur in a given situation. Sources of light can also be defined to virtually illuminate objects, make them more real and put them in situation.

Thus, the 3D modeling makes it possible to put in situation of objects before proceeding to their manufacture. This is called CAD, computer-aided design. But of course, it’s not the only application of 3D modeling. Indeed, it also serves as a basis for the production of multimedia or audiovisual content.

How to do 3D modeling?

3D modeling requires specialized software. 3D modeling is a complex area that requires specific training. It is true that today there are tools allowing everyone to do a little 3D, but of course these are limited. The principle is the same as in photo editing: fans will find Paint enough to crop their images while professionals or those who need to make advanced editing will turn to Photoshop.
