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.

Getting Started with Object2VR

I just released a new beta version of Object2VR.

The new features are:

• Viewstates
• Skin – Images stored as JPEGs
• Hotspot reuse clarified
• Cursor navigation between images in the hotspot editor
• Smoother “Joystick” controller in Flash export
• Bugfix: Preview images for Flash export

Thanks to Mark Banas you can see a nice example of view states here.

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

Last week I release a new beta of Object2VR.

• Sound effects in the skin
• Image caching for faster creation
• Skin – Start Autorotate action: Speed can be defined
• Bugfix: Blank images in light table

I just released a new beta version of Object2VR. The new features are:

• Area Hotspots
• Improved Light Table
• Domain lock/Expire date
• Skin editor with Hotspot proxies (as in Pano2VR)
• Updated to Qt 4.5.1 which should give faster screen rendering
• A lot of bug fixes

There are still some things missing for the final 2.0 release but this is another milestone to this goal. You can download the latest beta from the Object2VR download page. For bug reports and other comments please use the forum.
