Hopki Media, Graphics Packs.

Hi
I started with building skin packs for Pano2VR, learning tools to help people with the GUI. I went on to supply graphics packs, already preloaded in Pano2VRs ggsk files, so you just copy and paste into your own projects.
I am being told that there are other programs that can use the png images I produce. To this end I am producing the graphics packs with just the pngs in a folder, then zipped up ready for shipment by e-mail.
I also build custom graphics for photographers that want to match a clients website, the British Music Experience in London’s O2 arena is one of my custom jobs using Pano2VR, www.britishmusicexperience.com/tour/
www.hopkimedia.co.uk click on The Skin Factory (I know, poo name, but hay)
Kind regards
Martin Hopkins (AKA Hopki)

Hmm
Very interesting, and I had thought of that as well, since so many have asked me for copies of my skins. That I can no longer provide for nothing, since they take sometimes days to produce.
So if anyone wants to employ my services in producing Pano2vr skins, I am quite happy to come up with something bespoke, designed to either be integral to your website's design, or to suit your tastes.
I think a few have seen the skins I produce, but in case anyone wants a refresher, tactus360.com/examples.html will provide you with examples of multi-layered, multi-lingual skins that are both stylish and effective.
In particular, it is worth viewing the Aukrust centre, Røros museum, Gamla Stan in Stockholm and Bryggen i Bergen.
End of commercial announcement!
Jon

Coming Soon
Skin Pack 1 (SP1) starting work on the user guide next week,
(Although this skin pack has a floor plan, view point radar beam and all the code that makes it work, the user guide will not cover its construction. Please see skin pack FRS)
All my skin packs are learning tools to speed up the learning curve for the Garden Gnome Skin Editor found in Pano2VR and Object2VR.
To give even more value, this pack also contains a full set of buttons including many more than what is used in this skin project. If the pack is missing a button you require, let me know and I will make it, and then add it to the pack. This is normally free of charge.
Subjects this pack will cover:
Planning a skin to minimise your work flow.
Using dynamic text so it can easily be changed as well as text formatting.
Looking at how the loader works.
Setting the Compass
Using data stored in the panoramas for compass correction
Twitter share button
As well many tips and tricks like scalable point hotspots.
What’s in the pack?
A full set of glass red buttons
Fully working project files
User Guide
I also am going to bring out graphics packs which will have all the images used for SP1, sold separately the graphics packs are for those with a good understanding of the skin editor and do not need the skin pack.
I am also planning on building a glass green set and a glass blue set which can be used to change the colour shame of SP1.
Normally for a small donation I will also provide the buttons in whatever colour you require, please supply hex colour code or a swatch sample.
As with SP1 the graphics packs contain three states, up, hover and click.
SP1 Preview: www.hopkimedia.co.uk/GGS/SP1
Please note that the panoramas used in this preview are the same low quality strip panoramas used in the skin packs.
Kind Regards
