If you want the hot spots file to have a different name or location from the one listed next to
the Hot Spots button, click Hot Spots. In the dialog box that appears, enter a name and
location for the hot spots file.

Hot spots are locations in an object or panorama that the user can interact with. When you
create hot spots (later in this chapter), information about them is saved in the hot spots file.

scene file.

The scene file is your final QTVR scene.

Creating scene components

The Scene Maker window has buttons that represent the different types of nodes you can put
in a scene. As you move the pointer over each button, a label appears showing the type of
node represented by that button.

These steps show you how to create a panorama from within Scene Maker, then how to add a
panorama and an object that were previously created using QuickTime VR Authoring Studio.
