file or a VRML file. You can also use plug-ins to import Solution files into other
modeling packages.
Summary
In this chapter, you learn about:
• Exporting panoramic images
• Exporting VRML files
• Importing Solution files into 3D Studio MAX/VIZ
and LightWave 3D.
Exporting Panoramic Images
Panoramic images offer a fast technique for interac-
tive exploration of 3D worlds. In Lightscape you can
easily generate panoramic images in a variety of
formats from your Solution file.
To export a panoramic image:
1. Open the Lightscape Solution file that you want
to export.
2.
Set your viewer position to where you want to be
standing in your panoramic view.
Note: From this position, you can use Rotate to
preview how the panoramic image will appear.
3.
Choose File | Export | Panoramic.
The Export Panoramic Image dialog appears.
4.
Enter a filename in the Filename box, or click
Browse and use the Save As dialog that appears.
5. Choose a panoramic image format from the
Panoramic Format list.
