Trying to build a Virtual Tour

Omniverse Developer Tools & Resources Samples & Examples
1

Hi all,
my task for the next month is to build a virtual tour of one of the apartments we designed. So far we have been using Maya,Vray + 3D Vista for our Virtual Tours.

here is an example of one of 3D Vista virtual tours

I would like to create it using USD Composer, the most improtant functionalities for now is the Click to Go camera movements + obviously the camera free look. I was looking up the vary omniverse examples such as the spinning fan example or the car configurator but I feel pretty lost of where to start.

As my first task I would like to be able to jump into “First Person” camera after clicking PLAY, be able to move the camera by clicking on the floor as well as being able to freely rotate it.

Any help would be highly appreciate it.

What you are trying to do is not possible in just standard USD Composer. You will need to author your own custom kit experience and host in on our GDN network. This would involve you building the environments in USD Composer and then using ActionGraph to create a runtime menu system and actions that can be played back. This is like the Car Configurators we have demostrated before. Then this kit file would need to be hosted on an enterprise account on the GDN network.

Here is an example of such a web based runtime

You can learn more about GDN here and then contact Enterprise Sales

Thank you @Richard3D ! I imagined it will involve a lot of ActionGraph, but could you please elaborate more or send me some links regarding deploying my own custom kit experience?

Thanks again!
