• Perform all work in "Project Documents" that saves all settings associated with the project, including source & generated imagery.
• Easy to use "tabbed" interface directs the user through the creation process
• Support for "Stationery Templates" which record all customized settings in a template file which can easily be used as the starting point for subsequent projects
• Interactive media creation: most settings and attributes can be interactively modified and the results instantly (or near instantly) viewed
• Allows and encourages the user to experiment with a variety of settings to achieve the best possible results
• Default settings for name, copyright and description text annotations which are embedded in the movie
• User definable export file types for QTVR movies (Mac only)
• User definable scratch disk volume
• User definable startup behavior
• A "master orientation" can be specified. Any node added to scene will be aligned to that
• Full control over scene boundaries for creating a grid and assigning a scale
• Built-in "background" editor allows you to create floor plans or other guides for your scene
• Add any number of cylindrical * panoramic movies and/or object movies to your scene
• Also supports static images as well as tradition "linear" QuickTime movies to be added as nodes.
• Drag-n-drop nodes onto the scene (Mac only)
• Create uni- or bi- directional links by "drawing" from one node to another
• Automatically creates hot spots in nodes when a link is drawn
• "Preview" a node by invoking the "Node Browser", change properties of the node such as name & comment
• Adjust automatically generated hot spots position, size and shape or create new hot spots manually, including URL hot spots
• View each node as a QTVR movie and test the links without having to generate the scene
• Interactively designate entry angles for hot spots by simply "walking" through the scene
• Nodes can optionally be re-compressed when generating the final scene, facilitating creating nodes at a high resolution and downsampling based on the intended target (Web, CD, etc.)
• QTVR movies are generated quickly with a single mouse click and once generated, the following settings may be interactively and instantly modified:
• Movie playback size
• Text annotations for name, copyright and description which are embedded in the movie.
