Bug? 3D distorted Hotspot images covering a cube face sometimes get hidden

[dennisvanduijn]

Hi all,

This is an issue I couldn't find a solution for for weeks. See the example here as a basis to talk about:
https://www.okijk.nl/test/pitchbox_forum

At the centre of each tile I placed a 3D distorted Hotspot. I configured it to show a semi transparent square covering the tiles as soon as they get out of focus.That partly works. Only when the corner of two adjecant tiles is swiped to the middle of the screen, the intended soft fading of the square takes place. But when a tile is focussed in the middle, most adjecant tiles aren't covered by the transparent square anymore. They just disappear and tend to suddenly 'pop-in' as soon as the pan angle reaches a certain value.

See the example video I created to illustratie the situation:
https://okijk.nl/test/pitchbox_forum/example.webm

And the project files:
https://okijk.nl/test/pitchbox_forum/project.zip

My question is, what should be done to make the hotspots of the non-focus tiles to be always shown?

Any help is really appreciated!

Kind regards,

Dennis van Duijn

Hi Dennis,
I have had a look at your project.
What is going on is after so many degrees the hotspot gets removed so they do not add to any resources slowing down the panorama.
The images you have are very large so when the pano is rotated and the point hotpots are out of view they do as they should and are removed, thus the tint disappears.
We will have to look at another way, I am thinking pinned image, a PNG with transparency, this wild not suffer the same thing.
Regards,
