SVG help

[Kittie Rose]

I've been handed a project asking me to build a "House" in SVG. The things i have to have that are awkward are Animation, an opening door, and other kinds of interactivity. I have no idea how to do this! My SVG editor, Inkscape, just seems to place vector graphics, nothing else. The "code" just seems to be pretty basic XML Defining the shape size and colour of shapes.

I'm lost! Please help.

SVG is not a very good format form making animations. But here's a quick example (http://fileho.com/download/71b853381193/doorexample.svg.html) of how it can be done, use inkscapes XML editor a I'm sure you'll work it out (just a basic javascript). Google about and you'll find lots more examples, Good luck.

PS. In case your wondering I generated with a the blender (http://www.blender.org) VRM script (http://shell.studenti.unina.it/~ospite/vrm).

Can anyone recommend any good programs for animating though? It looks difficult to do by hand.
