Hi I am trying to get interactive panorama camera navigation working. If you look say, at this Quicktime panorama (-- that I did, of an amazing mirror installation by Japanese artist Yayoi Kusama) http://www.mediavr.com/infinityroom2.htm you can see that it is different from standard mouse look. The idea is that you can click anywhere in the panorama (skybox) and depending how far and the direction you drag before you let the mouse up the panorama pans left or right or up or down at a speed and direction proportional to how far and in what direction you have dragged (this is standard interactive 360 panorama navigation). When I was scripting such things in Lingo for Director this is the script I used (you can see it constrains vertical tilting too)

"on mouseDown me

set startV = the mouseV set startH = the mouseH

repeat while the mouseDown mypan = member("newBox").cameraRotation[2] mytilt = member("newBox").cameraRotation1 myroll = member("newBox").cameraRotation[3]

set tDX = -(the mouseH - startH) / 1800.0 set tDY = -(the mouseV - startV) / 1800.0

mypan =mypan + tDX

mytilt = mytilt + tDY if mytilt >90 then set startV= the MouseV set tDY = -(the mouseV - startV) / 300.0 if tDY > 0 then set tDY = 0 end if end if

if mytilt <-90 then set startV= the MouseV set tDY = -(the mouseV - startV) / 300.0 if tDY < 0 then set tDY = 0 end if end if

member("newBox").cameraRotation = vector(mytilt, mypan, 0)

end "

thanks!
