Abstract

This paper describes a 3D interactive web application which visualizes the appearance of the town of Zlín in the Eighteen-nineties. The Blender software suite was used to create a complex 3D model of Zlín and its municipality in previous years. Now, this model has been revisited, improved and extended. This was followed by work in order to convert it into a 3D web application. The Blend4Web - which is an external software module that extends Blender was used to do this. In order to obtain an application with the correct level of interactivity and rendered image outputs, it is necessary to set all of the corresponding parameters and to optimize them.
