Green Camera Problem Solved

Today I solved the problem of the green camera, the camera only displays correctly in a horizontal position meaning that when the phone is vertical the camera is still horizontal. If you rotate the camera object it causes some sort of problem that makes the camera view appear green. You can have the application set to auto rotate but I want my users to use the application in specific orientations at specific times, so the normal view should always be upright and the camera view should always be horizontal to take advantage of the screen’s width. To solve the problem I took the camera object and the relevant Actionscript and placed them in their own movie clip, I then rotated the movie clip and now the camera works fine in the horizontal orientation.

I am still having the zooming problem in 3ds max and it is getting really irritating.

HSAD 3D Marker

After the success of getting the 3d button appearing on my application when I come within 10 metres of my home I thought I would try and do the same for the HSAD location marker.

CSS Problems

I have been having some problems with the CSS for my website, basically things are not positioning in the places they are meant to be, further investigation is needed.

3D Button Code Idea

I have been looking at the calculate distance code on the Google maps api and I now have an idea of how I can code the 3D button for my application. In theory it is just a case of calculating the distance between the user and the individual location markers.

3D Building with Camera & Zooming Problems.

I have used the early render of the Cecil theatre to make a test version with the building render placed over the camera view, I am very pleased with the outcome, please see below:


I have a 3ds Max zooming problem, the zoom feature jumps from been too far away to inside the building, this is very frustrating and it is hindering my progress.
