New virtual tour droplet, thumbnails and animated hotspots

  • hi,

    I'm french and i use the demo version since a few days. So far i can use the basics functions but i've got some questions to reach the next step. Thanks to understand i'm not a specialist.

    It seems to be impossible to add a plugin code in the xml generate by the virtual tour droplet.

    <plugin name="editor" url="krpano-1.0.8.11-2010-05-31/plugins/editor.swf" />

    This one works with any other except with this droplet.??? I also can't add the "options" one, to get the "ath" and "atv" numbers for the hotspots or the "hlookat" ! So i don't have the interface to add some animated hotspots or polygonals' like the paintings in the "Weingut demo tour".
    Then I also tried to adapt this painting' movement we see in the example in an other isolate and personal panorama (with multires.droplet). I found, in the example code, the "style name", the "action=showpic", the "hotsposts hs" and then copied and modified in my xml, it doesn't work.!


    Here it's an example i found on the net with a polygonal' and gloss border' hotspot with a movement as "action". I like this interrupted brightness on the hotspot.

    (Click on the "Eglise ND de l'Assomption" tag in front of you in this panorama, then, in the church, click on the painting on the left handside. Mind to the sound who could be loud!)

    It seems to be a kind of loop (1second or more) on the "glow" or "glow blur" of the border, instead of two different pictures like krpano' ex. Could that be done in krpano ?
    I didn't find any example on a time setting code or glow settings who act on the hotspot. Someone got one ??


    Finally, i'd like to add a background on my thumbnails in the "virtual tour.droplet" (like the xml gallery example which is static) and the pictures' names under. Both of them would be "parents" with the moving thumbnails. Could that be possible ??


    Thanks for all. *g*

  • Try adding keep="true" to your plugin. Usually it is best to use the plugins from the latest release if you are using the latest tools. I did not see any mention from Klaus about newer plugins so that may not be an issue here.

  • Thank you for your answer. It works !

    I gave you the old code, sorry :

    <plugin name="options" url="krpano-1.0.8.12-2010-11-09/plugins/options.swf" />

    It didn't work anyway because of keep="true".

    So thank you. *g*

    I try now to use the "flying in & out".

  • Hi Andrew,


    I make some panoramas but not those ones. I worked with the people who did it. You can have a look on their website :

    http://www.ventdautan.fr/spheric360/index.html

    or this video

    http://www.airshoot-technologie.com/contents/fr/d51.html

    It's a big balloon with a kind of rotating plattform under (sorry for my english), where you screw your camera . Then you control it from the ground with a joystick panel. There's not so much people who got this material, it gives amazing panoramas that's right.

    *g*

  • Thanks Esys,

    I love anything related to 360 shots 'Up there'. I watched the small movie clip although I'll admit I laughed when the view switched to the inside of the trailer and there was an enormous balloon. I bit out of my price range for that set up *wink*


    There seems to be some remote control helicopters out there now with multiple rotors that perhaps make it more stable and easier to fly with heavier gear but the large ones are also extremely expensive. I guess it would pay for itself after a couple of well paid jobs if you could get them.

    The inside shots of the chapels look really good. I'll visit your site again in the future and look around.

  • Hello,

    I've tried to make a normal Vtour with heavy panos (315Mo each) and i've got an error message at the end :
    unable to open the input image : C:/Users/ etc...

    It works with lighter panos, so i tried to find the "limitation" in the config file, also in the vtour.xml and i don't see that! *sad*

    Someone could help me ?? *smile*

    Thanks.

  • Hi,

    How I can make thumbnails for flat pano?

    the automatic thumbnails generating is only possible for full 360x180 panos,


    Quote

    Or how change preview size in droplet for use it as thumbnails?

    in the .config file there is the "thumbsize=80" setting, it defines the width/height of the thumb,

    best regards,
    Klaus

  • How are the images organized in VTour alphabetically or numerical. Is there anyway to drop the images in an order and have them appear in a certain sequence other then coding the generated XML file for every tour?

    Thanks

  • Hi VN 2009,

    Yeah i'm sorry. *unsure*
    I'm gonna try this code.
    I used the forum search for others problems and usually it gave too much or complicated answers (i'm not a pro yet and i'm french!).

    But indeed, this time, it worked perfectly for my text request.
    Sorry so and thanks. *rolleyes*

    However i still don't know how to add a colored background bar (Like this ex following) working with my thumbnails when you open them and dissapear when closing.

    Example Krpano

    I think i found a topic about that:

    Features request for thumnails plugin!

    I 've loaded the plug in and gonna try it.

    I'll do a real search before posting next time. *wink*

  • Hi,

    VN2009 thanks again for the link, i keep it. But i didn't make myself enough clear, sorry about that.

    I'd like to have a visible title, when thumbs open, for each one, under the thumbnail itself (as a html). It would no need "onhover" to be visible. Then you could click on the whole thumbnail, including the title, to reach the scene. And the titles would follow the same movement as the "open" and "close" thumbnails' .
    Textfield "parent" with thumbnails ?

    Could that be done ?

    Thanks.. *smile*
