I wasn't fully aware that the Mi-34 scene was done entirely w/o programming or scripting. I hadn't had time to read the article on it when I first looked at it. That's excellent! I unfortunately have never used the NLA system in blender, so I'll have to dive into it! Another unfortunate thing is I don't believe I have my materials in nodes. I use the node editor for Cycles, but when having to convert those to the BI renderer, I don't use the node system, as I'm not familiar with BI node setup. I'm sure it's not too different to learn than cycles though. Now, if I didn't have to export the scene for Blend4Web from Blender Internal renderer and could do it from Cycles, that would be awesome! But, I'm guessing there is more difficulty in making that happen, otherwise you probably would have done it since Cycles is the renderer that is being actively developed in Blender.

Thank you very much for the sample you pointed me to and the NLA direction. I'll look into it and post some progress when I get to doing more.

Hi All!

Blend4web is a very interesting new way to go about web presentation and apps. I had been playing around over the past few years with some ways to do some Architectural Visualization. This seems to have the best promise for what I want to do, but I'm very newbie when it comes to programming. (I can write some Excel formulas, but that's about it ) I'm always willing to dig into what I need to get the result I'm looking for though.

I've started a quick little test for an idea to click on objects and have a menu pop up to change the material. I plan on baking all the materials in the scene in Cycles for a more photo-realistic look and better performance. I currently have no idea how to go about adding click sensitivity to bring up a menu or list of materials to change on the object. I plan to start looking through the tutorials in the coming months to try to figure things out, but if there is something specific I should look into, any direction is welcome.

Here is the test I started to just see how Blend4Web would work. So far, I love the results and the potential. It even runs on my tablet without a hiccup.

Thanks for joining in the development in Blender as well! This is all fantastic!
