The plug-in stitches together the six views to create a virtual environment. Before you create a SmoothMove Panorama file, place a camera in your scene and set the camera s field of view to larger than 60-degrees. It is usually best to place the camera near the center of the room. After you create the camera and display a camera view, select the Utilities tab, then the SmoothMove Panoramas SE button. Select the Render button, then choose the desired resolution.
Larger files take a long time to render, but they are also significantly sharper.
After 3D Studio VIZ creates the SmoothMove Panorama file, it launches a browser that lets you view it. Distribute this viewer along with your files to create a full presentation package. Infinite Pictures Inc., developer of the SmoothMove Panorama plug-in, also distributes free utilities that let users view SmoothMove Panorama files from within Netscape Navigator and Microsoft Internet Explorer so you can post SmoothMove Panorama files on your Web site. If you are new to 3D Studio VIZ, take the time to experiment with the techniques presented in this article. All rights reserved.
