- lukehollis 2y agoMatterport works special magic on the transition between 360 images in their SDK. As far as I understand it, they render 360 cube camera onto the material of the mesh of the environment as you move so it looks like you're moving in the real mesh but only seeing the 360 image. I tried to approximate this myself in Three.js but didn't get anywhere near the quality or performance of their work. Homage.

- lukehollis 2y agoThese look great! What strategy did you use to do the transitions?
- nh2 2y agoIt works as you described: Texturing the mesh "live" as you move through it. It does use Three.js as a base, but needs custom shaders to make it 60 FPS.
- lukehollis 2y agoVery cool.. bravo -- it looks so good
