Hi,

the "newest" posting I found in this NG are from 2000.

Maybe something has changed meanwhile.

Are there any solutions to convert POV scenes to VRML?

If not, what tools are best for creating photo-based QTVR?

Many thanks!

Dieter

Then you are obviously doing something wrong.

With regard to VR, or regardless of topic?

The year at the very least.

Dunno :-)

Macs ;-)

I've fiddled a couple of times...years ago [POV 2.whatever]
http://members.ozemail.com.au/~martincrisp/mirrors.mov
[Using POV with a cylindrical camera, and some freeware tools - 
whose names I can't recall. Used similar tools (VRWorx or some 
such) for fiddling with photos->VRpanoramas]

I've also made an object movie using POV, but don't have it online 
anywhere (it isn't very good, and doesn't quite work right, and I 
just haven't found the round tuits...).

You should be able to find some freeware (or obsoleted versions of 
commercial) tools on cover CDs... but I'm not very familiar with 
PC-specific mags. Computer Arts (UK) may be worth a try...


[The other magazine I'd suggest isn't (wasn't?) exactly popular 
with the POV-Team... Is the Mac version of _that_ magazine under a 
similar cloud?]

Have Fun
Martin
