Dispay two panoramas simultaneously within a vertical grid?

Hi,

I have two 360° panoramas shot from the same position, one in summer, one in winter.

Like you can see in the attached image, I want to show the panoramas within a vertical grid with a line-width of exactly 250px, no matter what the screensize is.
The grid should be fixed and the panoramas should move behind it.

Is this possible with krpano?

Best Regards

Yeah, I added the winter panorama as disorted hotspots on top of the cube faces of the sommer panorama - this works, but the masks make the performance really really bad...

Synchronization via js is not an option because of the missing fullscreen mode...

Any other suggestions are welcome

Hi,

yes I know - that would be possible - but it's not quite the effect I wanted.

I got another idea:

Let’s say I have a plugin containing the attached image on top of the hotspots and set the blendmode to alpha.
According to http://help.adobe.com/en_US/FlashPla…/BlendMode.html this should work when I apply an alpha channel to the black parts of the image (the white parts are transparent). krpano supports .gif and .png as image-formats with transparency, but this formats don't save alpha-channels separately. .tif can do this, but it's no supported by krpano...

So how can get an alpha channel to work in krpano?

Best regards
Michael

hmm, ok...

Klaus, do you have a solution for my problem?

I'm still concerned with this problem. My question: Is there another possibility to mask the winter-panorama properly?

This is my code for the mask, which works, but I get only 6-8 FPS, which is way too slow...

Hotspot-Size is 955px, my mask image is attached: Note: it's 3000x1500px to fit most of the display resolutions

I know, in Flash each mask can only be used for one element - but is there a way to optimize my code to get a higher framerate?

If not, can it be done via blendmode? When I disable the masking of the hotspots and set one of the mask-plugins to blendmode invert, it inverts the winter-panorama behind the black parts of the mask.
Is there a way to make this parts transparent?
According to http://help.adobe.com/en_US/FlashPla…/BlendMode.html it should be possible when I use blendmode erase, but
it doesn't work?
