OTOY Forums

Hello,

I am newbie to Lua and OctaneVR. Is there any example about Lua script navigation between 2 cub/spherical map ?
or piece of code for interaction with Gear VR button ?

Thanks a lot

With Octane 3.0+, we're working on auto-generating lua/JSON with your rendered scenes for hostpots and even multi-camera navigation links right form the scene graph (proxy 3D hotspots targets are being added as special VR script nodes). There are a few samples on the ORBX 2.0 forums showing the older manual 2D hostpot/linking system. It is simple, but please be aware this API may be deprecated with version 3 once we have UI for doing it in 3D from inside Octane. You can import a pano photo in the environment node and use the proxy VR script nodes to build experiences that are completely photo based as well. In this case Octane will take your spherical panos images and spit out optomized mulit-layer cube maps in HDR, and using ORC, further compressed for high speed loading on GVR as OKX files.

I will take a look at older manual 2D hospot linking system. I think I can find them in ORBX Media viewer thread...

Octane 3.0+ sounds extremely cool!!!
When can we access Octane 3.0+ ? an estimation ?
with OctaneRender™ v2.x License, can we have a free upgrade ?

Hi Dormouse,
About v3 news, we have to wait for the GTC 2016 in a couple of days
In the meantime, you can find few examples in this discussion:

Hi Goldorak,
do you have any news or ETA about ORBX VR 3.0 and manuals?
