This is super cool. Is there a way to show a different pano behind the 3d object? The "depthmap.background" attribute seems to hint at something like this. I wish it would have an option to point to another krpano object. Maybe the "none" option (render background empty) could be used to make a panorama on a layer behind visible (is there something like that?). And would I have to manually synchronize 2 viewing cameras then? It feels hacksy.... Anyone done this before? Show a different pano behi...

Hey Klaus, speaking of next release ... is it on the horizon? Last one is almost a year old.... is there any chance of lensflares? Been missing them ever since Flash got snubbed out.

great thread! Klaus, how is the depthmap coming along? I know a few tricks on how to bake depth maps for my panos, and would like to experiment. Think if the tx ty tz coordinates would be Camera-Local coordinates instead of World coordinates, we could setup a neat effect. Camera would swivel around a center point, and with a depth-distorted sphere that could give a very sweet parallax shift.

Damn you Klaus, You got me all excited with the fading slider demo, and then I look at the XML and I discover that you abused 6 giant image hotspots as cubefaces for the secondary panorama. Don't even waste your time on making such a hack a demo, please. I need real panorama layers. I really really need them. Apparently the performance is there, just no mechanism to actually pull it off right. There's a million applications. Fake Exposure fading (ala ADR), Day/Night blending, Before/After, all s...

Thanks Castellonis for bringing this up. And yes, I would love to stick with krpano, because I love the customization features. But I would need some way of showing an HDR. Either by supporting JPEG-XR, so I can use the HDView tiles like I use Zoomify tiles for the other Gigas. Or by letting me do multiple pano layer, with a blending mode and event integration. Would also need to have a display pixel value picker, that I can use to trigger events and tweens. Or a mask that can be moved to show a...

Ah, und ich dachte schon ich spinne. Na dann, kanns kaum erwarten, ansonsten ist KRPano ja perfekt. Viele Gruesse, Christian www.hdrlabs.com/gallery/flashpanos.html

Ah, wie schön mal zur Abwechslung was in Deutsch zu posten :) Kann ich mit KRPano auch zwei Panos gleichzeitig anzeigen? Ich weiss dass ich von einem zum anderen umblenden kann, was auch prima funzt bei Hotspots. Nur wuerd ich das gern mit Splitscreen oder einer Overlay Maske die dem Mauspfeil folgt, machen. Etwa so wie hier: http://krpano.com/forum/wbb/index.php?fo…adAdd&boardID=5 Oder hier: http://fieldofview.com/spv/show.php?file=adr.xml Geht sowas? Christian

very nice. What I'm trying to achieve is something more like this: http://www.hdrlabs.com/gallery/panogallery.html (Skip's Ditch shows the effect pretty well...) I'm trying to achieve real HDR with auto-exposure, not just a tonemapped version. Again, I would be fine with selectively blending 2 different panos like in Spy-V's ADR method - this would actually give me more flexibility, because I could show the original middle exposure in a loupe overlay...

Hope it's OK when I sketch out how I would imagine this to work: 1. Basic feature would be the ability to load 2 or more panos at the same time. 2. Blending modes. 3. A method to tween the blend and transparency of layers. 4. Some method to get a grey value from a low-res B/W panorama, that is left invisible. This would the my driver, that I can use to change the blending. Would also be cool to use a circle mask attached to mouse coords, to blend one pano over the other... like a torchlight.

Thank you, Sir, most excellent! When you make this a plugin, make sure to allow custom directions - I could use some star fields :) Blochi

Love KTpano so far. The fisheye view is amazing.... The only one thing I'm missing is some way of showing my HDR panoramas. Either by supporting a WDP image pyramid (like HDView) or the ability to display two panoramas blended on top of each other (like the ADR mode in spy-v). What do you think? Christian Bloch
