My webpage....panos?
Posted: 3 Jul 2008 at 17:25 GMT
Ive just more or less finished my website and Im thinking of how I can add my panos to it. I would like to know how to achieve the basic viewer with controls to zoom in/out and the arrows to move around as well as a FullScreen button.

Can anyone offer any advice? How can I get my panos up!
smile
Cheers,
Jose

Pleinpot www.qtbridge.com/pleinpot/pleinpot.html will do just about everything - full screen / custom size / add sound / add controllers

Very easy to use and only 25 Euros - the simplest way especially for QT movies.

Take a look here: www.easypano.com/tourweaver125.html

It offers everything your talking about, and more, and I read on here recently they will soon release a version or update that can incorporate videos into the tours.

You can start of with a tour window of any size (example 450Wx250H) and when you doubleclick on the viewer it goes full screen, or it can start off at full screen. Check out the demos they have on the site.

Its fairly easy to learn, and easy to put on a site.

A suggestion, if not already done so, would be to read through the forums here for software selections as there are dozens of applications producing quality panos.

After that, download demo versions from the vendors and try them out. I did this experimenting with the same set of photo's and now use a couple of applications (PTGui mostly) but am alwasy looking at the next thing around the corner. Presently interested in KRPano and AutoPano Pro

Sample programs are:

~ PTGui is popular amongst users here and discussed a lot
~ Panoweaver/Tourweaver for complete VT solutions
~ Flash Panorama Player (FPP) for pano's in Flash
~ KRPano is new editor and has some interesting tools for Flash pano
~ Pano2QTVR and Pano2VR are also popular
~ AutoPano Pro is a equally good application for pano production and personally, like its very easy usability
~ Pleinpot writes html for you

Cheers for all the sugestions... Im still not 100% sure about which application is the best to produce Panoramic TOURS. Im thinking of going the Flash output way so would need a software that can produce flash panos.
Ive had a look at Tourweaver, looks simple to setup tours but 999 Euros...pfffffway too much for me.

The other solutions seeem to all include using an xml file to creat the controllers,maps etc? is that right?
Want an application thats going to help me creat tours, a map with hotspots and a pano window....
