Hi there!

For anyone looking to build their loading bars from scratch, check out the latest tutorial on how to do just exactly that.

Building a Loading Bar

After 9 months in beta we are proud to announce the final version of Pano2VR 2.0.

Pano2VR is a converter to create Flash 8 & 9, QuickTime VR and thumbnail files from panoramic images.

The built-in hotspot and skin editors allow you to add interactive elements to the panoramas. The automatically created, fully customizable HTML files simplify the publishing. Pano2VR can also convert between 8, 16 and 32 bit TIFF equirectangular and cubic formats to allow retouching.

Pano2VR runs on Windows (>=2000), Mac OS X (>=10.3.9) and Linux.
The user interface is translated into German, Spanish, French, Japanese, Russian and Chinese with more languages to come.

To get an idea about Pano2VR you can watch the getting started video.
