Hello,
still the same app as in a topic before:

https://v3d.net/hqf

Now I would like to limit the camera panning to the surrounding sphere, so that you can’t leave this area with the camera.

I have now searched the forum for various solutions to this and have so far found a single Maya solution (I use 3dsMax myself) that I don’t understand and can’t replicate.

Is there a way to limit camera panning on orbitcameras ( I know it works on first-person through collision materials) ?

Or is there possibly a workaround.

Thanks for the help :)

There are a lot of topics about how to limit the scene camera panning. This one is the most useful

Is there a way to restrict panning ?

Puzzles and JS coding. Fast and expensive.

If you don’t see the meaning in something it primarily means that you just don’t see it but not the absence of the meaning at all.

Hm, according to the link there is unfortunately no good solution at the moment ?!

So then I guess I should integrate a button ,that automatically resets the camera to the origin – in case someone navigated out….

Now I just have to figure out how ;)

You can try to limit the max distance between the camera and the center of that big sphere…

Ok thanks a lot, that sounds good, but how can I implement that e.g. with the help of puzzles?

Use the constraint puzzle

Not perfect but better than nothing )))

Wow, but ahemm, how did you get the data of my file?

and more important: can you give me also the puzzle?
I tried it with the limit distance but it didn’t work ;)
Perhaps because I’am still a beginner…

Simply downloaded the files

You’d better place your town more symmetrically relative to the sphere’s center.

And fix the geometry

The geometry is only there for testing purposes – I have mirrored it 3x ;)
