Object based QTVR for Viz

[Scott Thomsen]

Does anyone know if Viz 2005 can create object based QTVR files? We are trying to create files where the viewer can spin a fully rendered model home viewing the outside only. If Viz is not capable of doing this directly, does anyone know of a plugin that would be able to help us. Thanks.

it is is easy enough to create a camera rig to render out the stills for an object based QTVR, but you would still need a seperate app to assemble the image into a QTVR file.

 

create a camera, that is in perspective, but looks directly ahead (it looks at 0,0,0), perpendicular to the view plain. that camera up 9 degrees. do that 11 times or so (really just depends onhow smoth you want to make it). then select all of those cameras, and rotate 20 degrees, and repeat, until you complete a circle.

 

render the views, making sure they are named in a way that makes sense.

 

this is essentially how a object vr tripod works if you have ever used one of those.

 

below is a picture of what your rig should look like.

Thanks guys! Both suggestions are appliciable but I'm thinking the plug-in by Cebas is exactly what we're looking for.

Can you explain this part more. Is there free software to help assemble into a QTVR? Any examples or tutorials you could mention?

I've been looking for something like this as well.
