I have added a new video to the YouTube SupportGnome Channel covering the topic how to add a Move to View Transition to a Map/Floor Plan Hotspot: See it Here

There is also a Tip covering the subject in the documents section of our website. The Tip along with all the others linked to YouTube videos also has the ggsk file that can be downloaded. The Tip can be found Here.

I am happy to announce a new beta version for Pano2VR. This time we had a really long bug list so it took a while. As I wanted to also fix the Photoshop BigTIFF bug on Mac OS, Adobe confirmed the bug in Photoshop but they have no work around and will not fix it until CS6. So we needed a new solution to import gigapixel images and as Adobe finally published the PSD/PSB format we went with that. Starting with this beta you can load/save PSD/PSB files in Pano2VR.

Another new feature in this beta are margins in the Skin. Margins allow you to place skin elements (for example the map) outside of the panorama. Martin was kind enough to produce a tip over the weekend to show margins in action.

To see the full list of changes, please go to the change log. To download this beta please visit the Pano2VR download page.

This carries on from the Floating tooltips and shows you how to modify the text box to work with Area and Point Hotspots. View the Video here.

I have just added two videos to our YouTube Channel:
Skin Editor Drop Shadow Text Effect
And
How to Scale Text in the Skin Editor

Written Tips will be added very soon to the Tips pages in the Garden Gnome Website.

We have just uploaded a new video looking at using Regular Expressions to address multiple skin elements with a single action.

You can see the video here.

This is also available in written format on our website.
