Quick Time VR

#1 Sat, 1 Oct 2011 - 13:17 68kMLA

Hi,

I just researched about the QuickTime VR, but all the links are targeted to apple.com and they are dead.

Has anyone got some experience with the QTVR Authoring ?

Where could I get it for my old mac?

Thanks guys

You're looking for QTVR Studio, which was a Classic app. It turns up on eBay periodically; it's not hard to find.

However, QTVR Studio has a pretty lousy stitcher. I use hugin to generate the panorama image and then use QTVR to convert it. It will then play in any version of QuickTime, including on OS X. I took a panorama of my old apartment that way, so I can always go back to "the way it was"

hey thanks I will sniff around for QTVR studio!

I wonder how to create a walkthroug QTVR, you know what I mean, you are in a panorama you click on a point and advance further. I would like to make a panorama of dads house while he is building it.

How do you do that? What tools.

Only experience with qtvr I had was in form z where after export you could view the object and rotate it, thats why I am interested in the Quick Draw 3D where you could view the 3D files in notepad. Hmm I wonder how to build such 3D objects, Newer version of form z can export that. Do you know what app for classic could do that?

Thanks for reply

QTVR Studio 1.0 is the one I have.

Most QD3D models were DXF, I think.

Embed HTML links in the image, link goes to a new panorama, use web browser with QT to view?

I wanted to open it just like in the comercial, just drag and drop to notepad in mac os.

QTVR Studio will add links within it. I've never done that personally however; I use it purely as a panorama generator.

I hav a copy of Studio and it came with a bunch of additional examples on the CD including one of Apple's outlet store.

There's a book about an inch thick that tells you everything about how the software works and how to link nodes.
