Abstract :
This paper is to practice the art of three-dimensional map based on a university campus which can be used for tourism. The spatial elements and animated character are initially built in Maya, and exported into Virtools. This paper explores ways to make the system interactive and view in the web using Virtools. This paper also presents a general system architecture which is able to be reused in other three-dimensional maps with a little modification.
