AE to QTVR
Hi,
I am thinking about best way how to promote and display on web objects that I had made with lightwave 3d and reexported with some effects in aftre effects 7 in quicktime format …what I would like to do is just simply simulate the qt virtual reality…I have a camera moving around my object and want it to be controlled by mouse movement ..I am not sure it is possible from 3d to convert to qtvr but (well, I just guess how the technology actually works) I would like the AE movie to be manipulated exactly same way by showing corresponding frame of the animation….???
I downloaded extension and tried to convert it within qt but it told me it is invalid .mov and cant convert that…One more qt….Have you come accross some standalone player which enables viewers to manipulate objects freely in 3d ? It doesnt matter how big it is what I would like to achieve is rotating, panning, zooming of simple objects (something like qtvr square or how it is called or ipix software) ???
Do you no about some resources on web where can I acquire some further knowledge about that ???I AM OPERATING WINDOWS XP, NOT MAC OS.
Cheers , Meerah

Nope, what you want to do can’t be done within AE. You need an app like stitcher or similar to get a QTVR from your manipulated images. A QTVR is basically a normal QT movie with a special compression and all the magic happens via the control stream. AE can’t do that.
As for a standalone player… There are several options available from 3d photo browser to Deep Exploration. Do a search on Google. If you want to manipulate your objects within a webpage, you should look into Schockwave, Java 3D or VRML.

Yeah shockwave … this might be the right solution..
Yeah, I had not understood this technology entirely…
Is there any viewer which streams backwards or forward with help of some slider ?? I know that it is possible to export to qt vr from any 3d application, but I have compiled an animation mixing more modes (wireframe, final render) with help of 3d channel extract and .rpf data export from 3d … What I want to do is a application with some similar slider control of playback…????Cheers so far

Stitcher will du just that. Basically what is does is re-introduce the control stream information to tell QT about which frames represent top, left, right etc. and how to interpolate between those. There are alternative technologies, but the question becomes how much money you are willing to spend. Especially with LW, your options are quite limited, since there isn’t e.g. a VET (Viewpoint) exporter… I’d stick with QT and get Stitcher LE.
