How to apply the Rift specific skybox?

Thank you very much Nora for this script!!
it 's very useful to me :)
I uses your code to display panoramas in OVR!

Is there a way to zoom in the sky box?
with my usual code the field of view changes only for CameraRight but do not display any change wearing the oculus

#pragma strict

var minFov: float = 1f;
var maxFov: float = 150f;
var sensitivity: float = 20f;
 
function Update () {
  var fov: float = Camera.main.fieldOfView;
  fov -= Input.GetAxis("Mouse ScrollWheel") * sensitivity;
  fov = Mathf.Clamp(fov, minFov, maxFov);
  Camera.main.fieldOfView = fov;
}

Is there something to change in the code?

You need to modify the FOV of the Rift Cameras in the OVRController.

Change 'Camera.main' to just 'camera' and attach to both right and left Oculus cameras. Although it might be better to have just one script which access both right/left cameras....

That's what I do in the given code

Thank you DaveA, the field of view changes for both cameras. The only problem is that the zoom still does not work...
In the inspector I see the FOV changing while rolling the wheel, but without any display change in my panorama.

If someone have an other idea it would be very helpful because the zoom is the last useful thing to add to this scene! :)

I've found something about my problem
it seems that the FOV is defined at starting game, but cannot be updated during the game

'Solar System Explorer' has a good zoom function. Try out the demo if you haven't already. Not sure how it's done though sorry.

Maybe you can contact the dev for some advice?

Hope this helps anyway.

Hi Nora,

Many thanks for the great script, I am using it but would like to ask a question, if I rotate the game object how can I prevent the skybox from rotating with the gameobject rotation? I recall seeing an option for this but in the newer script version I don't see this anymore.
Could ask for your advise on how I could make it not to rotate?

Many thanks,
Kim

Nevermind I figured it out :) I have to attach it to a non moving object, simple.

Hi all,
I finally found the solution for zooming:
adding a small update function in OVRCameraController.cs

// Update 
	new void Update()
	{
		float minFov = 1f;
		float maxFov = 150f;
		float sensitivity = 20f;
		base.Update();		
		UpdateCameras();
		VerticalFOV = verticalFOV- Input.GetAxis("Mouse ScrollWheel") * sensitivity;
		VerticalFOV = Mathf.Clamp(VerticalFOV, minFov, maxFov);
	}

and bingo! I can zoom in oculus
hope this will help someone
without this function, the FOV is set one for all at start and cannot been updated
cheers

EDIT: sorry for my previous post in French...
Longue vie a l'OVR!!

Is this still the common way to get skyboxes to work?
