360 Degree Viewer
Purpose of the plugin
For the 360 Degree Viewer, many individual images of an object are strung together, creating a 3D effect. Depending on the image, it is possible to rotate this object by 180 degrees and thus view it from all sides.
Introduction
The 360 Degree Viewer makes it possible to view a 360 degree object (file composed of as many individual images as possible from different perspectives) in a 180 degree rotation.
A speed and the direction of rotation (left/right) can be defined for this.
The more images are used for the 360 degree file, the more realistic the 3D effect will be.
How to access
The plugin can be opened using a function in the toolbar both via the DAM and from the Product View.
