Hi

I have a lot of turntable images to generated with two states from 3D renders, and they all have multiple hotspots. I can't imagine how tedious it would be to place them all frame by frame manually in both states. Is there some way to track features or at least load a list of coordinates for each column exported from the 3D program or possibly adobe after effects?

Regards

Hi

Having a look in the XML-file, I can see the coordinates. How are they defined? It's not px-values?

Code: Select all

<hotspot title="IPM Motor" target="" skinid="" url="" id="Point01" reuse="0">
      <location x="0.540984" y="0.587432" row="0" column="25" state="1"/>
      <location x="0.539959" y="0.587432" row="0" column="26" state="1"/>
      <location x="0.538422" y="0.588798" row="0" column="27" state="1"/>
      <location x="0.538422" y="0.588798" row="0" column="28" state="1"/>
      <location x="0.538422" y="0.588798" row="0" column="29" state="1"/>
      <location x="0.538422" y="0.588798" row="0" column="30" state="1"/>
      <location x="0.538422" y="0.588798" row="0" column="31" state="1"/>

Hi Björn,
The numbers are 0 to 1.
So 0/0 is top left and 1/1 is bottom right.
This is so no matter the resolution of the image the hotspots will be in the correct locations.
