Keep Articulate library character at a fixed point within 360 image navigation
Hello,
I am working on an eLearning course on a simulated bank robbery to have learners practice going through the correct steps when navigating a robbery situation. I have 360 images of the teller POV from behind our teller line in one of our branches, and was going to use a character from the Articulate library as our "robber". However, I want the learner to be able to pan around the "teller line" and choose to interact with objects such as their computer, their drawer, etc, but that means that the character/robber stays fixed in the center of the screen as they pan around, rather than staying in his spot as they navigate the simulation.
I have gone back and forth with Copilot and gotten a ton of wrong/impossible answers...surely I can't be the only person using a library character in tandem with a 360 image! Has anyone figured out a way to do this? I really feel like it shouldn't be this hard... I have images added of what it is looking like in practice.
Any guidance on workarounds or ideas to code something are very welcome!

Hi kmhahn,
If you embed the robber directly into the 360 image instead of adding him as a separate object in Storyline, he’ll look like he’s actually part of the scene, not just floating on top.Thank you for the reply! So it sounds like I would need to do that in another tool prior to adding the image to Storyline. Any tips on downloading assets from the Articulate library so I can do that with their characters? I tried copying the character into PPT so I could Save as Image (tried PNG & JPG), but it's very grainy/low quality when I then try to add it to my 360 image. I also spent a little time looking for other free libraries of stock characters but didn't have a lot of luck in what I was looking for.
