Solomon Posted December 11, 2006 Share Posted December 11, 2006 Hi Guys. I am looking for some good programs to try out for virtual tours of the buildings I create, any cool links, recommendations? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
visions Posted December 12, 2006 Share Posted December 12, 2006 Hi, Digimation used to have a suite of tools called Imove Panoramic media for max. I think it was for max5 or 6. The best part is that all you need is the Imove editor (commercial) and the viewer (freeware), and your max will directly output the spherical pans using the built-in panorama exporter. Using the Imove editor you could create hotspots and link them together for a virtual tour. I find this method the fastest and much better than the QTVR way. Mail me if you have any further q's Vivek Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

neil poppleton Posted December 12, 2006 Share Posted December 12, 2006 Imove was a great product, we used yrs ago. Dont know why but we use QTVR by cebas.com for current pan files Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Antisthenes Posted December 12, 2006 Share Posted December 12, 2006 imove was cool i just found http://www.stampede3d.com/viewerdemos.htm i use Cult3d mostly for real time walkthru and define camera paths and at the end leave the user to navigate as they please. is there a pluging to render 360 degree bubble QTVR renders(like there was for imove) for any animation packages, maya max bongo ect?

visions Posted December 13, 2006 Share Posted December 13, 2006 The plugin to render panoramic views is buit-in in max. Look under utilities for the panoramic exporter. Use a 2x1 ratio, save as bmp and rename it to *.PAN Use the Imove viewer to view individual pans (unlinked) Whats a hassle is linking the pans without the Imove interactivity editor. With it it takes 3 seconds to link one pan with another. Just define an area for the hotspot and tell it what file to open and then save. Those Imove guys should just release the Interactivity editor as a standalone program. Vivek Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Antisthenes Posted December 14, 2006 Share Posted December 14, 2006 it takes a little bit of education /learning about the tool and some java programing from my experience with Cult3d.. i will reasearch this other tool as i get the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SandmanNinja Posted September 16, 2008 Share Posted September 16, 2008 I've seen some flash web pages that do virtual tours, but (at the time, which was a few years ago), the flash script wasn't capable of rotating the spherical image "up" and "down". However it would go round left and right. http://www.swishzone.com might have some flash-like templates for you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
