[Xerte] RE: Xerte and QTVR - to the left of centre, the image sequence moves backwards; right of centre, it moves forward.

Rough example attached, obviously needs some work, but loading and rendering the model works fine.

id b keen to c that! perhaps a bit of collaboration? I'll send you some links in a couple of weeks with what we end up with.

There's no way I know of getting QTVR into Flash directly, so 1 and 2 are what you have I think. We also have medics keen on QTVR, I'd be keen to see your 'any direction' examples, maybe share some code.

Xerte 3.0 can handle Papervision, and on Friday I wrote the beginnings of a 3D model viewer: still a bit to do on that, and it won't work in toolkits...

Thanks Julian -yes we have done that already but with sliders rather than totally mouse interactive and with the Zoom, any direction turning not just WE, that we can do with QTVR. We have done quite a few 3D rotating Flash objects -heart, brain etc but QTVR is still that little bit more with much less effort! QTVR is also very popular with our radiologists. So it comes to us as a QTVR seems a bit regressive to take it apart its a bit like decompiling the swf because you lost the fla!

At the moment we are doing three versions of one anatomy RLO-
1) as you describe a Flash series of stills
2) a link from the RLO to the QTVR
3) playing with the software I listed originally to see how difficult it is to push a QTVR into Flash.
I think we amy well end up with 1 & 2 combined.

Back in 2008 we decide the latter was impossiblr but there appear to be a few developments since so we thought lets try again. I will get back to you in a few weeks with our final (for 2010!) thoughts.

Again thank you for Xerte and all the support which also supports the flash developer too- its much easier to plan your route if someone else has mapped the route!

Can you rotate it and export an image, say, every 5 degrees? That would give  a nice sequence of images to handle in Flash - you can have my flash file it you want: it just rotates based on mouse position

Yes it is a medical image set, reconstructed as a 3D object

Is it a 3D model you are modelling?

Anyone any experience of embedding a QTVR into Xerte? I know there are some recent innovations re embedding QTVR into Flash but not amazing.

We want to have the ease of navigating a 3D object that QTVR provides.
