I thought you were going to replace the stolen interface elements you are using?

Wouldn't want www.virtualspaces.com to start on the wrong foot.

It seems that option 2 or 3 would be best as you are unable to consider a fair donation.

I would have to charge you time to find and organize the relevant files + a little on top - this would obviously come to quite a bit more than the 10 euros you would have to pay for the job to be done in India.

As Hans pointed out, the loader and buttons in question are quite simple and generic - it may be an idea to ask for a loader and buttons that will give your tours more of an identity and fit in with the overall interface design.

All the best, and I look forward to seeing your tours when they are finished.

@Hans

Yes, it would be quite simple to replicate these features. But to use the exact font, and for it to be pixel perfect is stretching it a little.



"I could understand you if the loader was a special design which you also used on all your tours but I can only find it on one of your tours."

I cannot see the logic here - are you saying that as you can only be found on one of my tours, then anyone should be able download it and use it?

@Jorgen

"I have asked Jez a couple of times how much he wants if I indeed have to pay. I'm not getting any answers."

No, you have asked me once on the FPP forums.


I'm going to totally leave this up to you Jorgen - if you ascertain that the features were replicated, then great. If not, then a PayPal donation of your choice would be greatly appreciated.

I think it can be seen why I would think the features have simply been lifted:

vs.

If you can guarantee that the loader and buttons are reproduced, then there of course is no issue and I should take it as a compliment.

I think you are being a bit economical with the situation here Jorgen.

It appears you have lifted a loader and buttons from a tour of mine to use in your template - I don't think it is unreasonable to expect payment if you are going to use them for your business.

If however you have seen the buttons and loader and reproduced them yourself then of course that is OK. But I think that it is quite obvious this is not the case.

Cheers Rudders. Yep, I'm sure there are templates similar as it is so simple. I made the site a while ago now and was less confident design-wise, hence it being quite minimal - just a few graphics and icons here and there. The Blueprint framework looks after the other elements of the design which add up to make it look more professional, such as the typography and vertical rhythm.

And yeh those 2 sites are old style templates but that have aged pretty well.


No templates used for my site - it's all hand-coded, and the WordPress blog is integrated within the site. It does make use of the Blueprint CSS (www.blueprintcss.org/) framework however - I'd recommend anyone check it out if they are making their own site and want it to look half-decent.

It's quite pricey though, and is used mainly for live video streaming, high definition video and large asset delivery.

Flash panorama Help

If it's any help, here is the code for one of the thumbnails:



<!--- NORMAL --->
<spot id="thumb1" url="thumbs/view1.jpg" static="1" depth="16"
staticX="9" staticY="-9"
alignX="0" alignY="-1"
salignX="-0.5" salignY="0.5"
onOver="alpha=0,50"
onOut="alpha=1,50"
onRelease="loadView1"
alt="Front"
/>

<!--- OVER --->
<spot id="thumb1_over" url="thumbs/view1_over.jpg" static="1" depth="15"
staticX="9" staticY="-9"
alignX="0" alignY="-1"
salignX="-0.5" salignY="0.5"
alt="Front"
/>

<!--- SELECTED --->
<spot id="thumb1_selected" url="thumbs/view1_over.jpg" static="1" depth="17"
staticX="9" staticY="-9"
alignX="0" alignY="-1"
salignX="-0.5" salignY="0.5"
linked="qtvrs/view1"
alt="Front"
/>


Basically there are three "states" of the thumbnail (normal, over and selected), utilizing two seperate images (view1.jpg &view1_over.jpg) . Each "state" is on a different layer (depth="15/16/17"). When you hover over a thumbnail the "normal" one is made transparent (onOver="alpha=0,50") so the thumb underneath can be seen. The "selected" thumb is on the highest layer and is tied to the 360 currently being viewed (linked="qtvrs/view1").

Cheers,

Jez

Thanks for the positive comments chaps.

Klaus - yep, the original was an equirectangular and I also ended up with a small seam - I extracted the relevant part of the pano with PTEditor and got rid of it.


On the tilt-shift theme, there is a cool short video that is currently doing the rounds and is worth taking a look at.

I stumbled upon a tutorial on "fake tilt shift" photography and thought I'd have a go applying it to a 360.

I've been staring at this and fiddling about with it for so long, I'm not sure how effective it is, but it was quite fun to do.
