I just released a new beta version of Object2VR. To work with larger projects (>1000 images) I added 64 bit versions for Windows and Mac OS X.

For the Mac release: Because Carbon doesn’t support 64bit I also provide a Cocoa build that has an Intel 32bit & 64bit and PowerPC universal binary. You need at least Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard to use the Cocoa build.

Some new features are:

• Better handling of larger projects
• Updated Skin editor
• Skin:Viewer Mode to switch between turn & move mode
• A lot of bug fixes

You can download this version (as always) from the Object2VR download page.

Happy New Year!

If you are new to Pano2VR or Object2VR or are simply curious about the workflow for either software, we have two articles that may be of interest to you. Each one outlines a typical workflow:

Fresh off the presses is a new tutorial for Object2VR. This is a getting started tutorial which is intended to teach the basics and get you, well, started with making interactive object movies. You’ll learn how to import your single or multirow projects, manipulate the controls for the movie and finally, how to output the movie as QuickTime or Flash.
