Hurrah! The Skin Editor tutorials have been updated! These tutorials were created with Pano2VR version 2.3 beta 4.

• Adding a controller and image (or logo) to your project
• Building a custom controller
• Building a loading bar with text

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

…and in our case those showers helped to grow new production elements for our tutorials. We would like to bring to your attention the new introduction and ending which we have added to the tutorials. Not only do these animations bring production value to our tutorials but we hope they also add some entertainment during your viewing.

As always the tutorials can found here.

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!
