Mirrorball as node image?

Hi all,

I'm doing an aerial tour, where all panoramas are aerial. What I would like, is that all node images are mirrorball representations of the panos. Preferably if possible also varying in size dependant on distance, so closer ones are bigger and more backward panos are smaller.

How would I go about doing that? Is it possible?

Any help appreciated,

regards, Frank

Actually, I just found out how to use mirroballs as node image, so the only question remaining is if I can vary them in size depending on distance?

Hi Frank,
You can use a scale logic block, you will need to add GPS to the nodes so each hotspot knows the distance to the surrounding nodes.
Then set a scaling logic block using distance, so if the distance is close scale it up a bit, and if it's far scale it down.

Hello Hopki,

Thanks, I will have a go at it.

How would this sound?

Hotspot distance kilometers < 0.5 x: 1.2 y: 1.2 or
Hotspot distance kilometers >= 0.5 x: 1.0 y: 1.0 or
Hotspot distance kilometers >= 1.5 x: 0.8 y: 0.8

So three triggers based on certain distances scaling to certain values? And I would apply this to ht_node_image, yes?

A current (work in progress) preview is at: https://landsnatuur.nl/360vr/skytour-zevenaar

best regards, Frank

It's working!

I made a set of distances with scales:

Hotspot distance km < 0.3 ---> scale to 1,7

Hotspot distance km >= 0.3 AND
Hotspot distance km < 0.6 ---> scale to 1,6

Hotspot distance km >= 0.6 AND
Hotspot distance km < 1 ---> scale to 1,3

Hotspot distance km >= 1 AND
Hotspot distance km < 1.5 ---> scale to 1,0

Hotspot distance km >= 1.5 AND
Hotspot distance km < 2 ---> scale to 0,8

Hotspot distance km >= 2 ---> scale to 0,6

I could refine this even further if I want, but this gives me 6 different sizes.

Thanks for the pointer Hopki!

best regards, Frank
