Now that Storyline 2 has Sliders I no longer need to use additional software to create the 360 spins, Yippee! but I have lots of pictures and they will change as I move the slider, however I'm not sure if each picture should be a STATE or if each picture should be a LAYER, does it matter?
Also could I add another slider to zoom into the 360 spin whilst sliding?
I don't think it really matters, but I used states instead of layers to do a 360 degree spin, using a slider. See the 5th example in this sample file here. From the top off my head, I'd say it's technically possible to add a second slider for the zoom, the number of states would just increase dramatically. Hope that helps
Hi Michael, wow that was you! I had earlier cast an eye on your example and liked the Front and Rear view detail you added, Was going to pinch it for mine, if I couldn't figure out the zoom bit! If zooming will add lots more states it may be the best way to go as I have got three times the normal amount of shots required for a 360 turn. Thanks for the response.

No problem Trevor. I would love to see what you come with!
Hi Michael. I love your 3D rotation example. I am trying to replicate something similar to your 5th example. How did you add the animated selected area squares and hotspots? would it be possible to download a copy of your Storyline working file so I can see how set out your Storyline project?
Hi Phillip! This thread is a bit dated. I'm sure Michael is probably still subscribed as he is very active in the forums, but if you do not hear from him soon you are welcome to utilize the contact me option on his user profile.

I can't share the source file, but it's simple enough. The 3D element is an image object with a bunch of custom states. The zoomed-in highlights are on two layers (Front and Rear View) which are displayed by clicking the buttons on the baselayer. Here is an old blog post that describes the basic setup: http://blog.keypointlearn.com/2014/04/26/adding-3d-to-storyline/ This example was done in SL1, so the slider mechanism is different but everything else is as described.
