Thanx for the info Alan, 3Dvista seems like the right tool for the job, and it does support hotspots...! I'll let you know if I find anything better... tom
-----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Alan Shaw Sent: donderdag 16 maart 2006 16:38 To: Flashcoders mailing list Subject: Re: [Flashcoders] best 360VR panorama No, neither of those was done with the DisplacementMapFilter, and here's why: http://nodename.com/blog/2006/01/11/prospects-for-immersive-panoramas-in -flash/ The example at media-box.net is mine, and no, it sure isn't performant. This was done as a demo of the simplicity of coding the cubic pano in a true 3D environment. Acceptable performance will have to wait until the AS3 version. Immervision have stated that they have no plans right now to release their demo as a product. More recently 3DVista (http://www.3dvista.com/) has added Flash cubic output to its SHOW 2 software, and it appears to be rather good, but not cheap (EUR 449). I'm not sure if it supports hotspots yet. An example of its use by Aaron Spence is here: http://www.hbchurch.org.au/beach/ Please report back if you try it out! More is coming soon on the cubic front... There are several cylindrical implementations out there. -A _______________________________________________ [email protected] To change your subscription options or search the archive: http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders Brought to you by Fig Leaf Software Premier Authorized Adobe Consulting and Training http://www.figleaf.com http://training.figleaf.com _______________________________________________ [email protected] To change your subscription options or search the archive: http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders Brought to you by Fig Leaf Software Premier Authorized Adobe Consulting and Training http://www.figleaf.com http://training.figleaf.com
