Hotspot issues in new Chaos Cloud Virtual Tour

[PupHaus]

Hey folks, since the Enscape uploads portal is being phased out, I created a virtual tour in the new Chaos Clous portal. It seems like most of the functionality is similar to the way pano walkthroughs used to work in the Enscape portal, but I have one annoying issue.

The “hotspots,” as they’re now called, used to move you to the location of the next panorama, and you would be facing in the starting direction for that panorama. Now the hotspots leave you facing in the same direction you were before. So if I jump to a pano on the other side of the house, I’m facing into the abyss. There doesn’t seem to be a setting to change this, is this just the way it is now?

Pics attached. I click on the highlighted hotspot, and instead of looking at the house where that next pano starts, I’m staring at a bush.

Also, if this question would be better for the Chaos forum, let me know, not sure if anyone talks about the upload portal stuff here.

Thanks!

Hey!

We have just planned to implement an item to add support for automatic/default/custom orientation for your panoramas in Chaos Cloud.

Automatic is our current implementation, where if you link 2 panoramas together with hotspost, we calculate the orientation to simulate movement in the correct direction. We realize now that this may not cover all scenarios that you have.

Default would be the center of the panorama if you need to keep this orientation as you requested so you can always open panoramas with the default orientation you rendered them with.

Custom will allow you to manually select a new orientation that you want the panorama to always open into.

Hope this helps and thank you for your feedback! We plan to have this by the end of this year!
