Processing the scene

1

Define the starting node for the scene.

Click the node in the Scene Maker window that represents the object or panorama you want
the user to see when the scene opens. Then choose Set Start Node from the Scene menu.

2

Click the Make Scene button in the Scene Maker window.

It takes several minutes for the Scene Maker to create the QTVR scene. Processing time
depends on the number and resolution of the source images, the speed of your computer,
the amount of RAM available to the Scene Maker, the number of nodes in the scene, and the
type of compression you selected.

When the process is finished, a playback window opens.

3

If you wish, adjust the playback settings.

As you move the scene, the settings change in the Pan, Tilt, Zoom, Width, and Height boxes.
These settings determine how the panorama looks when it is first opened. To save the new
settings, click Set Playback Settings, then remake your scene with the new settings.
