Chinese Gardens Tutorial Walk, part 2

This continues the CubicConnector 2.0 tutorial started in part 1 describing how to create a 7-node scene showing a section of the walk through the Chinese Gardens in Sydney, Australia. This is part 2, it continues in part 3.

Step 10 - Define the hotspots for "node002"

You are going to make a total of three hotspots for this node, one on the front cube face, one on the right cube face, and one on the left cube face.

The hotspot on the front cube face covers the bridge in front of the pavilion and will allow the user to move straight to it.

The hotspot on the side cube face covers the path leading up to the pavilion and will allow the user to move back down to the first node.

The hotspot on the other side cube face covers the bridge near the end of the tour and will allow the user to jump straight to it.

Step 11 - Define the hotspots for "node003"

Again, you are going to make a total of three hotspots for this node, one on the front cube face, one on the right cube face, and one on the rear cube face.

The hotspot on the front cube face covers the path that goes further into the tour.

The hotspot on the side cube face covers the pavilion and will let the user jump straight to into it.

The hotspot on the side cube face covers the path where the user has come from node001 and will let them walk back to it.

Step 12 - Define the hotspots for "node004"

Node 4, like most nodes in the project, has three hotspots associated with it, but this time there are two hotspots on one face.

The single hotspot on the front cube face covers the path that goes further into the tour.

The two hotspots on the side cube face cover the path leading back towards the start, and the pavilion.

Step 13 - Define the hotspots for "node005"

Node 5 also has three hotspots that need defining.

The hotspot on the front cube face covers the path that goes over the bridge towards the last node of the tour.

The hotspot on the rear cube face covers the path that goes back towards the start of the tour.

The hotspot on the side cube face covers the pavilion.

Step 14 - Define the hotspots for "node006"

Node 6 also has three hotspots that need defining.

The hotspot on the front cube face covers the path that goes over the bridge towards the last node of the tour.

The hotspot on the rear cube face covers the path that goes back towards the start of the tour.

The hotspot on the side cube face covers the pavilion.

Step 15 - Define the hotspots for "node007"

The final node 7 has two hotspots.

The hotspot on the rear cube face covers the path that goes back through the tour.

The hotspot on the side cube face covers the pavilion.

This completes the hotspots for the project. The next step is to start connecting the nodes to each other.

Before moving to the Connections tab, return to Node 1 so you can proceed through the nodes in sequence.
