Reset Camera Position

[cmontiel]

Hello,
I am working with window.threekit.player and window.threekit.player.snapshotAsync() this renders me a snapshot of the current view of the player, right?
I’m wondering right now if there’s a way to reset the camera position to it default option so all the configurations keeps but camera.
I guess I am able to do with this:

play.camera.getPosition
(t=new r.Vector3)=>e.getCameraPosition(t)
play.camera.getQuaternion
(t=new r.Quaternion)=>e.getCameraQuaternion(t)

and this:

play.camera.setPosition
play.camera.setQuaternion

So my question is, what is the parameter that setPosition and setQuaternion should have to reset it to default camera angle?

CM.

Hi Carlos - would you prefer to work programmatically?

You can always create cameras in your asset and switch between them by creating a rule that changes the active camera.

I am not allowed to do that (I should do it something more like)

camera.position.set( 0, 0, 0 ); OR camera.position.set( reset );

So when the button triggers it resets to default and then takes the snapshot with defaults.

Can I ask what you mean by not being allowed to do that? Theoretically, the result should be the same if you did something like:

    window.threekit.configurator.setConfiguration({"Camera":"Side"});
    d["Side"]
    await window.threekit.api.snapshotAsync();

If this still is not a viable option I will look into a solution for targeting the camera directly.

@Will

window.threekit.configurator.setConfiguration({"Camera":"Side"});
    d["Side"]

I must add this instruction too?

d["Side"]

Mr. Will, Also it didn’t work, I ran the instruction but isn’t resetting to it’s default.
I am not allowed because we have like 20 o 30 products so I must modify all the products at threekit platform and it will take too much time.
I guess it’s easier this way.
what do you think?

The snippet I sent was just an example, sorry for any confusion. Here is a thread that should be helpful:

The zoom doesn't work properly after setting the position and the quaternion

I’m trying to store the player’s camera view and reset it in case it’s needed, this “seems” to work fine with the below steps (please let me know if there’s a better way) let [pos, quat] = [player.camera.getPosition(), player.camera.getQuaternion()]; play with the camera view on the player, reset the camera view player.camera.setPosition(pos); player.camera.setQuaternion(quat); it works, but the zoom doesn’t have any restrictions any more, if I zoom in or zoom out, it goes beyond of what it …

I believe the relevant snippet here should achieve what you are looking for:

When the player loads, store the camera’s initial position:

let [pos, quat] = [player.camera.getPosition(), player.camera.getQuaternion()];

When you need to reset the camera, you can call the following:

player.camera.setPosition(pos); 
player.camera.setQuaternion(quat);

This approach seems what I am looking for, haven’t tested because I am researching on how to handle after player loads so I can capture it. any ideas?

Threekit has built in phases you can listen for:

How do I listen to the player for loaded status with JS API?

Which Threekit environment are you working in? You can un-initialize the Threekit player with window.player.unload() in preview & admin-fts environments. Here is some code examples for executing code at different phases, I hope this is helpful: const player = await window.threekitPlayer({ assetId, authToken, el, }); window.player = player; // Avoid typos by referencing the phase constants const { PRELOADED, LOADED, RENDERED } = player.scene.PHASES; player.on(PRELOADED, () => { conso…

Hello @Will I ended my problem by using some states handling after load and all renders, so some semaphores helped me to approach and final one the setPosition and setQuaternion.

Thanks again I really appreciate your knowledge.
