An editor user is able to create snapshots 360 in a scene on his own.
A snapshot 360 is a 360 image of a scene, that the user can create during its navigation in a scene.
A snapshot 360 allows a user to access a favorite area of a scene.
Get to the snapshot 360 view
An editor user may navigate in a scene towards a specific location.
The editor user may turn around in the 360 image to define the right orientation.
This defined orientation is just the initial orientation when the visitor user accesses the snapshot 360. The visitor user is able to turn around in the snapshot 360 at any time.
Please note that the orientation can be modified until the validation of the snapshot 360 creation.
The editor user can write the name of the snapshot and move around in the images, find the right spot and the right initial orientation, before validating the snapshot 360 creation.
