          Description

          Hi,

          A user is having trouble with Virtual Characters Enabler. Here it is her
          report:

          "We are implementing the Virtual Characters Enabler. We would like to be
          able to change and customize the ORBIT CONTROLS that Virtual Characters is
          using with THREE.js.
          Even with current examples supplied with the Enabler we can not implement
          correctlly the movement. The right mouse button drag movement makes our
          characters disapear. See this misbehaviour at:
          http://annacarreras.com/toonaville/vc/Guia.html

          We would like to minimum obtain a movement like in:
          http://threejs.org/examples/#misc_controls_orbit
          We could not use this example code with the libraries supplied with the
          Enabler. Something is missing? Is there a huge different between the .js
          libraries and the min.js ones?

          We would like to customize the controls to let users only rotate the
          characters and zoom them but don't let them move. How can we achieve this?
          Any help will be apreciated."

          Thanks in advance.
          Kr, Xavier Carol.

              Hi,
              thank you from the input.

              As for the OrbitController.js, I'm not an expert on that code, but now
              that I took a look at it, there should be an option to disable the model
              panning simply by adding following line of code "controls.userPanSpeed =
              0;". This should prevent the model to disappear while you are holding the
              right mouse button down and dragging.

              VirtualCharacter uses it's own Forked version of THREE.js and there is no
              Three.min.js file provided with the downloadable zip file. When I have the
              time, I'll check if I can build the missing three.min.js file and include
              it with the downloadable. In case you need to have access to that code, it
              can be found at https://github.com/Joosua/three.js/tree/webtundra_build.

              The reason we were using our own forked version of the THREE.js was to
              implement missing skeletal animation features during the development time
              and if I can recall correctly, following changes were added to Animation
              object:

              • Better animation weight support
              • Option to enable&disable skeletal animations per bone, so we can have
                code control on single bone while rest of the skeleton is animated
                normally
              • Support to playback the skeletal animations in backwards.

              Hopefully this helps.

              I'll send this reply to xavier.carol@i2cat.net address as well.
