I use Lightwave3D and Flash to make "interactive" 3D animations and models. I put parentheses around interactive because the Flash is basically just many series of images that the user clicks through and chooses which animation to go to next. I know Flash can do some amazing things with formulas to create gravity, collisions, rotation of simple geometric objects like cubes, planes, etc.
But, I'm trying to figure out how to make completely interactive animations of complicated models based off of AutoCAD or similar files. I've seen animations where a user can spin the model completely 360 degrees on all axises, zoom in, click on certain parts to get more information and peer inside various parts. It's a pretty impressive and useful technology.
Has anyone made real-time simulations like this? Is there a software package that imports CAD files and can render the model in real-time to create this type of interactivity? If so, I would be the first in line to get it and add that technology to my portfolio.
