Liquid Glass chandeliers hang in the foyer. “hello!” a glitching Siri whispers from the shadows. A scroll bar obscures a doorway…

It does pair nicely with Finder’s new Phantom of the Opera icon in 26 though.

Tahoe is haunted is what I’m saying.

I just need to spend a bit more time getting tool cursors working great. Sometimes SwiftUI just loses the current cursor. How are the fundamentals on macOS still so wishy-washy? Cursors. Menus. Windows. These should be absolutely solid and they just aren't, if they ever have been.

The one thing that's not accurate is the pattern draw position in the pattern grid. This is because the original MacPaint drew its patterns at screen origin 0,0. It got away with this cuz the original was famously not resizable. If I did this, the patterns would scroll as I moved the window around.

How the burst shape behind Popeye continues through the shape of his forearm is pretty good.

😬😬😬

Similarly? Could blasting part of the surface just dislodge a chunk and have it roll/fall down and attach to another part of the surface once at rest?

Just curious!

I wonder how much more satisfying this would feel with particle effects for each piece of the surface removed?

Are you able to apply physics to a part of the surface that becomes detached? Say I had an arch and blasted away the sides? Would the top of the arch remain floating?

Love the updates! :)

Love this!

Forgot to share the G4 Cube QTVR object frames.

iPod and the eMac. 🙃

I would like to see the rig they would have created to make (and possibly automate) these. I suspect rotating platform under the scene, camera on a vertical bent track? Something like that.

And for posterity, here's that MacUser Eddy Award for QuickTime VR in '94. heh

What's cool about the hotspot images is that hotspots could be more than just simple shapes but large complex organic shapes that could map exactly to part of a scene.

I wonder if you could open this in Photos on an Apple Vision Pro? That is, would it wrap the image around you 360º like it does with iPhone made panos? 🤔

Here is the full Bridge pano and separate hotspot image exported to disk. Hotspots in many cases were a separate image track in the QuickTime file. I've colorized the different hotspots, each pointing to another pano in the file (with its own hotspot image). Pretty neat.
