Forgot to post this... I released already beta2 two days ago because I fixed several bugs in the light table and various other places so beta2 has no new features, just bug fixes.

I just released a new beta version of Object2VR. To work with larger projects (>1000 images) I added 64 bit versions for Windows and Mac OS X.
For the Mac release: Because Carbon doesn't support 64bit I also provide a Cocoa build that has a Intel 32bit & 64bit and PowerPC universal binary. You need at least Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard to use the Cocoa build.

The new features are:

Better handling of larger projects
Updated Skin editor
Skin:Viewer Mode to switch between turn & move mode
A lot of bug fixes

After way too long, we are happy to announce a new beta of Object2VR. The new features for this beta are:

HTML5 export
SWF and External elements in the Skin
Margins in the Skin
Updated Qt framework
Many bug fixes
New license model

As object movies don’t need any specific 3D features in HTML, the HTML5 exported object movies also work in older browsers, down to even Internet Explorer 6. Depending on the browser features not all functions may be available. In particular, the zoom/fullscreen and area hotspots require a modern browser. The HTML object movies work with all features on Internet Explorer 9, Firefox 4, Safari 5, Opera 11 and mobile devices like the iPad, iPhone, Playbook and Android devices.

You can see some examples at http://ggnome.com/o .

We also changed the license model to match the new Pano2VR license model. If you already have an Object2VR license nothing changes. For new customers the licenses are now issued per seat and you can add the unbranded option.
