Movies
Introduction

Movies simulate movement around a design. They are easily created and recorded, and can be
presented or given to a customer at a later time. Each movie consists of a number of saved
viewpoints which Fusion uses as anchor points creating the movement between them. It is
important to remember that as well as changing direction, viewpoints can also be set at different
heights to create a variety of effects.

To create a movie

There are 5 steps to creating movies:

Setting up a movies location

Saving view points

Configuring the movie

Generating the movie

Playback

In the following example, a movie will be created to simulate a walk around a kitchen design.

2020 VR (Virtual Reality) Viewer

This additional feature will allow the viewer a more immersive experience using the VR
Viewer glasses.

The minimum requirements to be able to take advantage of the 2020 VR Viewer functionality for
Android, iOS or Windows-Phone mobile devices are as follows:
The mobile device/browser must support WebGL.
o Only Android Browser V5 onwards supports WebGL.
o Only iOS Safari V8 onwards supports WebGL.
o Only Windows IE mobile V11 onwards supports WebGL.
The device needs to have accelerometer and gyroscope sensors.

If the minimum requirements listed above are not met, then the panoramic image will still be
available to view and navigate on the mobile device, but the specific ‘2020 VR Viewer’ option will
not be accessible.

Export Options

It is possible to change the quality setting for the exported panoramic view. Opting for a
higher resolution will result in improvements to the detail of the graphics displayed in the
panoramic image.

Generating a panoramic view with a higher resolution will take longer than one on a lower setting.

There is also an option to generate the panoramic view in the background enabling you to carry
on using Fusion while you wait for it to be published. The preview facility will be disabled when
this is selected.

You can also choose which email address your copy goes to (company or you).
