adding hotspots



I was reviewing der Professor Dersch's notes on adding hotspots to cubic VR to be compatible with PTViewer

while discussing the use of MakeCubicPPC to create cubic panos, he writes that the hotspot images should be compressed as TIFF images or else they won't be compatible with PTViewer

MakeCubicPPC does not offer any options for the compression of hotspots - it always compresses as Graphics

now what? I could not find any other documentation on the web on adding hotspots to VR which will be compatible with PTViewer

my goal is to author cubic VR compatible with both the QT plugin and PTMViewer, including the hotspots


while I'm asking... he writes one should also make an equirectangular hotspot image (in addition to the six hotspot cube faces). Why? And what should I do with it once I've made it, if the six hotspot faces were 'good enough'? This is not explained in the documentation.


The document I am referring to is:

http://www.path.unimelb.edu.au/~dersch/PTVJ/ptmvj.html

see "Authoring suitable QTVR-panoramas" near the bottom of the page

thanks in advance
