What's new :

Creation of a 3D model with textures

Now you can create an obj file that contain not only the geometry but also the textures for making a dollhouse

• OBJ file

  The geometry from the whole model is stored in a OBJ file, that on one side contain the vertex values for the geometry and on the other side the coordinates for the texture

  

---

• Unwrapped texture

  In order to be able to show the textures from all your panos at the same time there's a texture file that contains all the unwrapped images from every part of your model

  

  ---

  everpano 3D is not only generating the texture image but also some helpers that will enable you to make an image processing with your favorite editor

everpanotools

A new set of internal tools that boost image processing and computer vision and helps with the creation of the 3D Model

Orthogonal modelling

One of the tasks everpanotools is handling, is adjusting the panoramas to match with the everpano coordinate system, we can now draw orthogonal lines for our polygons, cubes or planes.

That helps keeping the model straight and make the whole object look better and more precise. Also with the usage of new helper lines while drawing, occluded vertex can now be easily located. Of course the app is flexible, so you can still deactivate the orthogonal mode and keep drawing a free shape.

Building the model

A new system that makes matching the different panos (or groups of panos) together much easier

Now we can not only connect the images via the references, like we did in previous versions, but we can make high level groups (rooms / scenes) that will later be connected to each other via the new tool for building models

That tool, together with the orthogonal lines, will definitely improve the shape and precision of your models

Modelling proces

In the next video you can see the full process of modelling this simple flat with 7 panoramas

To keep it shorter, the time has been remapped so the repetitive parts can be kind of skipped, but just to let you know the whole process was taking 22 minutes

Many other implementations

A complete and detailed list of all the new features, will be published together on the final release date.

When it's going to be publicly available

What's next - Roadmap

• Multi level management
• An improved UI
• Measure tool for the tours
• Improved management of the textures merged from multiple images
• and a long ...

no support available what so ever for this plugin / addon for an enormous period

To be true I tried my best to give continuos support via email to all the users that have wrote me, but you are right as I've not been active in the forum or facebook groups. I'll do my best to combine software development and being more active on the forum.

By the way this is not a plugin / addon, but a software by it's own and now even including own image processing set of tools the everpanotools that is able to use computer vision to automatically adjust a panorama to be modeled in everpano 3D

Adjusting panorama

Converting sphere to cube

You can also take a look at the video showing the adjusting part.

Can we prepare this work in a duplex apartment?

With some creativity you can present multiple floors at the same time, I did not want to cover that part, as I was expecting some users to find their own way without my bias. But as said on previous post the multilievel is the first point of the roadmap, it is even 80% implemented on everpano editor, but unfortunately there's no API yet in krpano to interact with the OBJ file in that regard, but I'm pretty sure that also will be implemented soon.

Navigator PRO Can the plug-in still be used with the OBJ model?

Yes tha navigator plugin will be working the same way in the panoramas, and also everpano UI.

When I click on the ground hotspot to jump to another scene

Not sure how you did that as hostposts are actually not shown when you fly to the pano, but anyway that's not the end viewer, the everpano UI will be the main one. And of course users can code their own user interface ;)

Kind regards
