Re: Hotspots That "Straddle" Cube Faces

Also, I was curious to know if I could down-sample a movie and still retain the hotspots. I created the movie with CubicConverter, opened it in CubicConnector and added the hotspots, then re-opened it in CubicConverter and specified a smaller cube size. When I convert it back to a movie, it looks fine in CubicConverter with hotspots intact; but when I save it to disk, the faces are assembled incorrectly

It turns out this is because this is not the proper way to downsample. Here's the scoop straight from the developer...


It is not possible to downsample a movie containing hotspots with CubicConverter. The correct way to make a series of tours with the same hotspots but different resolutions is to generate nodes from different size source images, then build the tour using one set.

Different resolution nodes can then be substituted by following the procedure in this tutorial: http://www.clickheredesign.com/ cubicconnector/tutorials/switching-resolutions.html

If the original source panorama image has been lost, CubicConverter can be used to extract the cube faces, after which they can be resized and converted into a new movie.
