Hello, is there a posibility to make the camera zoom in to such a degree that it fits the entire model while tweening. If not, is it something that maybe you could implement in a future version of Verge? Thank you!

Hi,

this can be done via some hardcore JavaScript at the moment.

Aren’t there plans to maybe implementing this in a future build, like making the camera fit the bounding box of the selected object?

Yes we can think about it. What is your case exactly, can you provide some more details?

See the simple proof of concept attached, the camera looks at a target, which can vary on the Z axis, and the object scales freely on all 3 axis, what we would like is for the camera to go further/closer on its local Z axis in order to fit the bounding box of the object.

Not sure about Puzzles, but this can certainly be implemented with JavaScript.

Any chance you are going to use that to make a puzzle in the future, I am sure there are many who need this as something more “standardized”, not just us.

Thank you,

Hey Juri,

We need this a lot for making thumbnails of our models on Hive. A preview of what is inside a configuration. Because our models can differ a lot, sometimes we have thumbnails on which the model is very small, and sometimes it doesn’t fit. That doesn’t look nice on our quotes.
Because we have a lot of different models, it is very time consuming to add a JavaScript each time. For that reason a puzzle would be really handy.

Zoom to fit is quite standard in modelling, from Autocad to Solidworks, it would be nice to see it implemented in Verge3D :)

Thanks!

Hi,

so you don’t need smooth transition for the camera – just moving to a static position for screenshot?

Hello Yuri,

Ideally, this would be working with the tween function, so having a smooth transition is a good thing to have.

Thanks for the clarifications. We’ll discuss a possible implementation internally.

Hi,

we implemented this puzzle. It missed the 2.17 version but we’ll ship it with a minor update soon.
