We have added a new tip and video to the website covering how to use the masking feature of containers.
This feature will let you make some cool effects in the Skin Editor, we are also including wherever possible a link so you may download the video in .mov format for those countries that do not have access to YouTube.

We are very proud to announce the final release of Pano2VR 3.0 after almost 8 months in public beta. The major new features compared to 2.3 are:

• HTML5 export (iPhone/iPad)
• Multi Resolution
• Transitions
• Photoshop PSB/PSD and BigTIFF support
• SVG/SWF objects in the Skin

We also did a lot of the improvements in every other part of the software. We like to thank everyone who beta tested and helped us to improved Pano2VR with their bug reports and suggestions.

To demonstrate some of the key features we created a short video:

As Pano2VR 3 is a major new release, this is for the first time a paid upgrade, however if you bought Pano2VR 2 since 1.1.2010 the upgrade is free. To buy or upgrade your license please visit the license page.

To show you some of those new features we updated the examples page. You can also use the iPhone friendly shortcut: http://ggnome.com/3.

To download this release please visit the Pano2VR download page.

A new tip has been added to the website, this covers basic html tags to format the text in the text fields. This works with User Data as well as other text boxes found in our software. A video is available as well as a downloadable skin file.

Finally! We have updated our HTML5/CSS3 tutorial; both the written and the video.

HTML5 with CSS3 lets us display and interact with our panoramas without the need for Adobe Flash. This is especially useful if you wish to present your panoramas on any Apple touch device since they do not support Flash.

To the tutorial!

The Epson International Pano Awards showcases the work of panoramic photographers worldwide and is the largest and most important competition for panoramic photography.

This year they have added a VR photography category to the competition and we are proud to be sponsoring this event!
