small web turnarounds?
polycounter lvl 19
What would you guys recommend for showing off a rotating model? I've done some testing with small DivX avi's, but I think you can do aomething like a 24 separate frames as a scene with a slider control under it, which gives the viewer a little more control. Do these things have to use flash/shockwave?

Luckily there's a blender viewer plugin but it's for windows only atm
You could also use VRML (hahhaha)
Failing that, render out to an AVI or Mov and link to that (keep the still renders though). The files will be bigger, the quality not so great (if you're keeping the file size small), but it's an option available directly from Max, and possibly Maya too.
example:
render 20 frames, import them into a flash stage, grab some action script that controls movie clip speed by mouse position.
bobs your uncle
cheap and rather graphics heavy, but flash does have a 98% audience so they are very likely to see it.
