How to adjust the height and camera to look at when the scene loads for the 1st time

Hello,

When I am opening the scene for the 1st time, I find the camera very near to the road. How can I increase its height and how can I adjust the camera angles sideways and upward/downward.

here is how the camera sees when the scene loads for the 1st time -

Hi,

by default the vertical viewer/camera position is controlled by the view.ty setting and is independent from the content (like a loaded 3d-model).

But when using the depthmap_navigation.xml and the 'collision' and 'groundcollision' settings are enabled, then the height from the detected ground at the current position is defined by the 'eyelevel' setting.

See the documentation from the depthmap_navigation.xml for details:

krpano.com - Plugins - XML Extensions

or see its code:

Best regards,
Klaus

In my test.xml, i have this code

Code

    <depthmap_navigation
    collision="true"
     />

I have added the code as in the documentation

Code

    <depthmap_navigation
    collision="true"
    eyelevel="860.0"
     />

but its not taking the effect. Please advise

Add groundcollision="true"

Height worked but view angles didn't

here is my current code:

Code

    <depthmap_navigation
    collision="true"
    groundcollision="true"
    eyelevel="360.0"
    view.tx="10"
    view.ty="70"
     />

What view angles?

The view.tx and view.ty settings are wrong in your code.

See here for information about the <view> element:

Btw - eyelevel=360 means a height of 360cm (in VR that might look wrong)
