A Visual has a strong power to stimulate a still mind. This is particularly true of museum objects. They communicate history. They transport a viewer to a different civilization. A pictorial presentation of an object in a book can be equally effective. It can also whet the appetite for the real thing. The Lahore Museum abounds with thousands of antiquities of great charm to spellbind the visitor. Its treasure deserves to be known to everybody interested in the cultural achievements of man. The Museum collection relates to the cultural history of the people of a particular region. But such a heritage belongs to all mankind. It represents one record of human endeavour. The international community needs t known and to revel in it. Its universal language and appeal also endow in with the means of international communication and understanding. Such was also the sentiments expressed by Dr Prem K. Kasaju, Director Representative, UNESCO, Islamabad, on the occasion of his first visit to Lahore Museum. He had come on the invitation of his former colleague Mr Ishtiaq Khan, whom himself has good wishes for the development of the Museum. Dr Kasaju was greatly impressed with the cultural wealth he saw and wanted the Museum to become better known worldwide. In fact, it was at Dr Kasaju’s suggestion and with his approval that it was decided that the present book be published. He hoped that the book would be a source of inspiration for all, who go through the pages and appreciate the important collection of this Museum. Thus, the world community could be motivated to assist in overcoming the problems of conservation of its extraordinary treasures. It is due to the generous grant made by UNESCO, Islamabad, that the necessary and long overdue production of this book has become possible. But in order to stay within the available resources, our of a large collection of the Museum, reproduction of more than a hundred masterpieces could be included in the book of them are local products, but a good number also have their origin in other parts of the world. These objects largely represent the multi-regional aspects of artistic heritage. Their selection has been made only on the basis of historical and aesthetic value. It is hoped that the readers will find this volume useful for affording a glimpse and an initial understanding of the treasures present in the Museum. The aim was not to conduct a penetrating study on a wide-ranging history of civilization, but only to present a modest introduction to many facts or art. Housed in the Museum’s collection. The book should serve the purpose of satisfying art-lovers and the general readers interested in the t aesthetic beauty of a rich collection. The book is divided into various sections according to the subject matter. At the beginning of each section, a brief introduction with illustrations has been given. A short description of each object has been catalogued at the end. The time at my disposal was extremely short for a project of this nature. I am grateful to Dr Kasaju, Director / Representative UNESCO, who gave me constant encouragement and moral support for the early completion of the book. He has also been kind to write the foreword for the book. I thank Mr Ishtiaq Khan, former Director-General, Archaeology & Museums, Government of Pakistan, and former UNESCO Regional Advisor for Cultural in Asia and the Pacific, who cheerfully lent a helping hand in the completion of the book. The sincere encouragement received from Mr Inamullah Khan Niazi, M.N.A., Chairman, Board of Governors of Lahore Museum, and Publication Committee who took serious interest in completing the job according to the prescribed formalities, especially, Mrs Rukhsana Bhutta, Deputy Secretary, IC&YA Deptt. Mr, Rubina Naseer, Deputy renowned artist, who volunteered his services to prepare the dummy of the book, design the sketches and advise on technical details.

This is a book about bringing high-quality 3D animations to the Web. It is a much-needed book in a market that is shifting rapidly. The advent of broadband has increased the viability of using 3D to seduce, entertain and inform on the Web. This is a unique book that deals with making 3D artefacts, specifically designed for Web delivery. You will be shown how to make stunning interactive 3D animations that will elevate your website to cutting-edge status.The book is aimed at Web designers new to 3D, students, 3D modellers and animators and all Digital Artists. Whatever your current skill level, from beginner to advanced user, there will be something for you in this book. If you are a novice to the world of 3D then this book will teach you the basics and guide you through to an advanced level. If you are already knowledgeable in 3D then there are plenty of tips and tricks to further hone your skills and create complex and believable animations, games and environments.To those of you who have picked up this book and are new to 3D, you probably have one big question: ‘What’s so special about 3D?’My reply would be that 3D has immediate appeal far beyond that of a 2D graphic representation.To see how attractive 3D is, try this simple test. If you were visiting a website and wanted to search for a book. Which icon would you rather click on?My guess is the one on the right.2 3D for the Web Even though the actual information on the 3D object is smaller and less legible, it is somehow friendlier and more accessible. You are also able to see much more visual information about the shape of the object, by seeing more than one dimension.3D has an immediate appeal. It can reflect the world we know and live in.Clicking on the 3D icon feels more like browsing through a bookshop.Now let us think about 3D that moves. How about a button, which one do Do you want to push?I think you will agree that the 3D button is more likely to get hit. It is also likely to respond in a typical way. We would expect the middle part to depress and the collar to stay where it is. It also looks like it might produce a satisfying clunk when hit. The other button might do that too, but we have no expectation. How great is it to see the button move, have an idea of its texture and hear its re-assuring sound? 3D delivers the world as we know it, enabling us to understand what we see faster and more easily. So if you wanted to sell something on a website 3D is clearly a better way of showing the goods, but it is also the best way of entertaining and seducing a visitor to your site. This is why games have graduated to 3D. Why play Asteroids in 2D when you can add a whole new dimension? 2D is the silent black and white movie to 3D’s Technicolor Surround sound.Okay, I hope I have convinced you, now let’s get to the inevitable next question; how do I learn it? This book is going to give you all the knowledge you need. You will acquire the techniques and skills to produce high-quality 3D for the Web. But it is more than a manual; each chapter is divided into two parts. The first part is tutorial-based and is meant to be used alongside your computer. You will get step-by-step instructions on how to create everything from simple 3D buttons, to fully-fledged interactive character animations.
