If you haven’t already noticed, we reorganized the Pano2VR tutorial section on the Tutorials page. Each tutorial description now comes donned with new descriptive icons.

But that’s not all…the tutorials are now available in QuickTime for your viewing pleasure and leisure on your mobile device. Just click on the iPhone icon and the movie will begin downloading. (Clicking on the Flash icon will open the tutorial and it will to play.)

I just posted the final Pano2VR 2.1 version.

Just a reminder for the new 2.1 features:

• Patch tool (watch the tutorial)
• Virtually no image size limits (the 2GB TIFF file size is the only limit)
• Externalize images and skin (create a player with external images)
• Javascript interface (documentation)
• RDF meta data in the Flash SWF file
• Pano2VR is now available in 14 languages.

You can download the new version as always from the Pano2VR download page.

Hi y’all.

There is a shiny new tutorial available: Outputting a Flash Movie: The Basics.

As you may have guessed from the title, it provides a detailed description of the basic parameters and tools for outputting a flash movie from Pano2VR.

Since Pano2VR 2.1 beta 3 it is possible to expose a JavaScript API for Flash 9 panoramas. This allows you to control the panorama from outside or request certain parameters from the panorama and process them within JavaScript. I have added a wiki page to document those features.

You can also see a short demo here.

I hope you like this new feature and you find it useful.

I just posted Pano2VR beta4.

Changes are:

• many bug fixes for droplets
• better performance with larger files (tested with a 100.000 x 50.000 image…)
• bugfix for transformations on 16bit images on multi core processors
• updated translations

You can download the new beta version from the download page.
