<p>In general, you can set different backgrounds using nXt. In this case, changing the visible background should work. Anything with a spherical or cylindrical mapping will work.

<p>One thing which may be confusing you is that the WalkAbout background is designed for a planar projection only (as I recall.) You'll need to use the Background tab under Lighting.</p> So how did this guy get his e…tag:accurender.ning.com,2011-04-01:6293855:Comment:223112011-04-01T14:21:58.005ZDavid Nisbethttp://accurender.ning.com/profile/DavidNisbet
So how did this guy get his exterior glass with a view and still maintain sunlight effect through his <a target="_blank" href="http://www.keystage.com/2009/projects/jfkpan/jfkpan1.html">windows</a>?. Short of placing a billboard outside my window I can't achieve any view of the sky. Am I missing something?

<p>That would be a very nice option to have inside of nxt. If its easy to do then an option to fade from last frame of camera a to first frame of camera b over a configurable length of time or to fade through a black would be helpful also. This would cut down on my post processing time building transitions and add a nice level of profesionality.</p>

I would find the new pano tool Roy is talking about useful, I've been making 1-3 panos per larger project and using hot spots to switch between them but when I send a disc to clients they sometime have trouble using the simple mouse controls. Something that is automatic with transitions would end this frustration for both our office and the client.

We've already got that-- the 3d slides do that. What I'm wondering is whether we should have a "panorama option" also.

I'm thinking based on this discussion I should probably include another animation tool inside of nXt. What I'm thinking of is actually just a checkbox in our 3d Slides interface that generates a canned movie based on panos. It would generate a pano for each view, then do something like spin around and generate single frames from the panos. Some sort of transition from view to view might be nice. It should be pretty easy to do-- since I'm not trying to do real-time rectification of the…
I'm thinking based on this discussion I should probably include another animation tool inside of nXt. What I'm thinking of is actually just a checkbox in our 3d Slides interface that generates a canned movie based on panos. It would generate a pano for each view, then do something like spin around and generate single frames from the panos. Some sort of transition from view to view might be nice. It should be pretty easy to do-- since I'm not trying to do real-time rectification of the spherical projection I can take a few seconds for each frame. Does this sound like a useful tool? You'd also get the panoramas of course-- plus a potentially long "animation" for minimal cost. Wow, That's really cool.

<p>This is exactly what I've been looking for. I can set a path for the panorama then export individual frames for compiling into a movie.</p>

<p>Thanks for the help. I'll post some results later on.</p>
