Default AC3D and Quicktime VR

Is it possible to produce a QTVR within AC3D environment?

Just FYI I've managed to do a QTVR from AC3D by exporting a series of images withing AC3D using the 'Export as PNG' function, then I've used a program to use the sequence to make a QTVR.

Sounds great - Can you post your result? It would be great if you could post a short tutorial on this forum.

It is simpler than you can imagine, it's just two steps.

1- Export your perspective view by clicking onto Tools > Save 3D win as PNG spin animation. Choose your desired FOV and camera height as usual on that window, then AC3D will save a 360° spin of your model in a specified directory.
2- Use a freeware or payware application to easily compose the Quicktime VR, there's plenty of them around. One is called Spinimage DV another is VR worx.

This technique best fits for a 3D object quicktime, but creating a full navigating environment should be as simple as this one since those apps can glue single exported PNGs into a system of cubes. That should be done by clicking onto Tools > Save 3D win as PNG.

You can see my results on http://www.xplaneshop.com/mov/AW139_qtvr.mov
