Panning over the zenith

I am looking for the code to make it possible to tilt more than 90 degree up.
This isn necessary in for example a church if a painting only can be looked at upside down close to the zenith.

I thought that this vlookatmax="+120" would do it but I get no effect at all from it.

Limitview="off" for that function Hans. Found the post at panoguide first and answered there also.

<view hlookat ="0"
vlookat ="0"
camroll ="0.000000"
fov ="100"
fovmin ="50"
fovmax ="120"
fovtype ="DFOV"
limitfov ="false"
fisheye ="0.00"
fisheyefovlink="0.00"
stereographic ="false"
architectural =".5"
architecturalonlymiddle="true"
limitview ="off"
hlookatmin ="NaN"
hlookatmax ="NaN"
vlookatmin ="NaN"
vlookatmax ="NaN"
/>

No good. You should be able to limit the view so that you can not tilt all the way.
For example to +120

People get confused if they can just pan all the way round in vertical position.

vlookatmin ="90"
vlookatmax ="-120"

if you're using .mov, don't forget to setup setview to false :

Source code

 
1
2
3

	 <image type="QTVR">
        <qtvr url="panos/01/pano1.mov" setview="false" />
    </image>


otherwise it won't works,
make me 5 mn to figure out what was wrong ;-)

Hi,

there are two modes to do that:

either by limiting the view to be always inside a defined range:

Source code

 
1
2
3

limitview ="range"
vlookatmin="-120"
vlookatmax="90"
then the current fov was also respected to be never able to look over that range,


or by limiting the viewing directing itself:

Source code

 
1
2
3

limitview="lookat"
vlookatmin="-120"
vlookatmax="90"
then the limits are only for the looking direction (the center of the view), regardless of the current fov,

(as addtional note - the vlookatmin value should be normally the minimal/smaller one and the vlookatmax the maximum/bigger one, but krpano corrects that internally automatically)

best regards,
Klaus

Oops, Thanks for that tip.
