Any chance to restrict the panning distance of the camera? Currently, only rotation and zooming limits can be set. I tried to use object constraints in the puzzles on the camera, but it makes the camera behave in a crazy way, all over the place.

Or… make the camera return to a default position after the user pans too far?

Hi,

this feature is difficult to implement… but may be you can use physic for that purpose?

Do you mean having a box that the camera would collide with etc.?

In the meantime, I found an alternative solution that is forcing the camera back to the initial position. Not ideal, the user may find it annoying being “punished” for going beyond limits. See the puzzles in the attachment

EDIT: the script only limits one direction at each axes

Hello. I also have this problem.
I tried making the puzzles Marcin showed, but they don’t work. I’m new to this world of web and script, I probably am doing something wrong.
I was wondering if there is another possibility to limit panning with Blender. Thanks

How to limit the camera panning

Good morning,

I know Blender 3D well but I’m a complete beginner with Verge3D. The complementarity of these two software impresses me a lot.
I realize my first tests. Being French, the explanations are often difficult because I do not understand them well or do not exist.
To completely restrict the camera so that it no longer moves or zooms, is there a direct command that would invalidate the movements by making them impossible ??

Thanks,
createo

or

Puzzles and JS coding. Fast and expensive.

If you don’t see the meaning in something it primarily means that you just don’t see it but not the absence of the meaning at all.

Thank you for this very quick response.
I continue my exploration of this essential Blender add-on
