Panoramic Photo. Need Help!
Hello! I am new to the forums, and fairly new to Max but have recently upgraded to Max7. For those who may have input, here is my inquiry. I am working on a project which will be a picture based interactive design. The idea is that the user/viewer will scroll or click and drag the mouse around in the image and ultimately have a feeling of being immersed in the atmosphere of the image. The image will have sounds that are played on cue based on the mouse location in the image. These sounds will come from separate recording files. So, the question is: How can I upload the image and sound files into Max, and have them communicate?
Thank you!
Paul
I would use a jit.gl.gridshape cylinder (or sphere, depending on what kind of panorama you're dealing with), and place your panorama as the texture. Then place the viewer inside and have them scroll around inside the cylinder. That would give you the optical effect of immersion.
jit.window has a @mouseidle attribute which works really well - that outputs position information that you can use to control triggers and volumes. I like using [nodes] to do this kind of interpolation thing.
Thanks Wetterberg! Im still stumped as to how I might want to patch them together, do you think you could show an example patch?
sorry, not without essentially building the patch for you.
What you do is load up jit.gl.gridshape, jit.window, nodes, and then open their respective help files to learn the ins and outs.
Okay thanks for your help!!
Would you be able to maybe give me some tips from what I've got so far?
Heres the attachment of my max patch so far.
