Method of building a so-called “three-dimensional” network site (A-B), such as an Internet site, consultable via an interface linked to the network, characterized in that it comprises the following steps:
- A) with a 3D modelling software package:
- a1) Generating a three-dimensional project comprising at least one three-dimensional space (A1-A6;
- B1-B3);
- a2) creating at least one two- or three-dimensional so-called “navigation” object (N1-N26) in the said project and placing it in the or one of the spaces (A1-A6;
- B1-B3) in a defined spatial position (P11b), called the “position of the navigation object”;
- a3) creating a two- or three-dimensional object (1) which is mobile in the said space (A1-A6;
- B1-B3) and controllable by a user by virtue of a control interface or a peripheral, such as a mouse, keyboard keys, a joystick or a motion sensor, linked to the interface;
- B) with a real-time 3D software package:
- b1) assigning to the or to each three-dimensional space (A1-A6;
- B1-B3):
- a benchmark system of three-dimensional coordinates;
- aesthetic properties, such as textures or images;
- functional properties, such as a light source;
- and
- simulated physical properties, such as a gravity force, a magnetic field or an electro-magnetic field;
- b2) assigning to the said navigation object (N1-N26):
- aesthetic properties, such as textures;
- navigation properties, such as a link to a so-called “arrival” position in the said at least one three-dimensional space (A1-A6;
- B1-B3) or a link to a so-called “destination” network address;
- and
- simulated physical properties, such as deformation laws;
- b3) assigning to the said mobile and controllable object:
- an initial position in the space (A1-A6;
- B1-B3) or one of the spaces of the project, and
- aesthetic properties, such as textures;
- functional properties, such as mobility in the three-dimensional space;
- and
- simulated physical properties, such as deformation laws;
- b5) recording the three-dimensional project as a digital file having a format interpretable by at least one navigation software package;
- C1) creating and networking an access table for the site comprising at least the following items of information:
- a descriptor of the access table comprising a number of rows, a number of columns and one or more field separator(s) used;
- an identifier (P11a) of the or of each three-dimensional space in the site;
- an identifier of the or of each navigation object;
- the position (P11b) of each navigation object;
- the navigation properties of each navigation object;
- and
- an initial position (4, 6) of a user when the latter accesses the site;
- D) storing the file obtained in step b5) on an on-line network server;
- E) assigning a network address to the file so as to render it accessible by the network in the form of a network site.
