I just released Pano2VR 2.2.3, the first release from the new Garden Gnome headquarters. Moving turned out to be more hellish then expected so this took a while. Still to many boxes all around the place.

Anyway: The following things have been changed/fixed:

• TIFF 32 bit support fixed
• User data placeholders in output file name
• Current position naming in patch tool fixed

March has arrived and with it a new Garden Gnome office and updated hotspot tutorials.

The updated hotspot tutorial has been posted on the tutorial page. A written tutorial is in the works. This will be handy for reading along with the screencast. There will also be a demo project available for download that you can use and follow along with the tutorial.

The tutorial is split into six parts and each part continues from the previous. However, if you feel the need to watch the videos out of order, you should be able to do so without getting lost. The chapters:

Creating Hotspots
Part 1: Adding Hotspots that Link to Websites
Part 2: Using Hotspots to Link to Other Panos
Part 3: Using the Skin to Build Hotspot Images & Actions
Part 4: Creating Multiple Hotspot Templates
Part 5: Building a Basic Map in the Skin Editor
Part 6: Using Proxies & Indicating Location

We hope you find them helpful!
