gif hotspot in webvr mode

  • Hi supportor
    Currently, we use gif hotspot in pano, it words in html5 and fail to flash. Thus, we choose our pano to html5 only.
    However, it fails to webvr mode, too. Is it possible to make git hotspot animate in webvr?

  • Hi,

    sorry, but krpano doesn't support animated gif files (although they work when the browser is displaying them directly), they are already inefficient in many browsers and a potential implementation would require custom gif parsing and rendering code and that would be even more inefficient.

    The way better solution would be using png or jpeg files as image-strips and some xml animation code - e.g. like here:

    Hi Klaus
    Thanks for your reply.
    Why we use gif is due to our customers usually upload their animated picture by gif. If we use picture clips for animation like the example of animated-hotspots your provided, our customers usually have no idea how to provide these picture clips. Or do you have and tool to convert the gif to picture clips?
