Hello again to the quick tip series. Today's quick tip will show you another way to render a turntable.

You can use this script below and customize it to your taste.

var currentFrame = 0;

var angle = 0;

var startPos = new DSMath.Vector3D();

var targetPos = new DSMath.Vector3D();

var radius = 15000;

beScript.onStart = function () {

    startPos = this.actor.getPosition();

    targetPos = this.target.getPosition();

    radius = DSMath.Vector3D.sub(startPos,targetPos).norm();

    console.log(radius);

};

beScript.onStop = function () {

    //Will be called on experience stop.

};


beScript.execute = function (context) {

   


    if(currentFrame > this.numberOfFrames)  {

        return;

    }

    angle = currentFrame * Math.PI*2/this.numberOfFrames;

    /** @type {STU.Camera} */

    var cam = this.actor;

    cam.setPosition(new DSMath.Vector3D(targetPos.x + radius * Math.cos(angle), targetPos.y + radius * Math.sin(angle), startPos.z ) );

    cam.lookAt(this.target);

/** @type {STU.Raytrace} */

    var raytrace = this.actor.Raytrace;

    if(this.render)

        raytrace.capturePhoto();

    currentFrame++;

};
