Panimator

Hi All,

We proudly present the Panimator Bundle.

The bundle contains 3 scripts:
- Panimator add-on for Blender
- timelines.js for Krpano
- dolly.js for Krpano

With the bundle you can animate hotspot or cam behaviour in Blender and play it in Krpano.

During development we constructed a technical example. We started it without a plan and it just originated.
We are very pleased that we have been allowed to use some of the nice panorama's from Alphons Nieuwenhuis that he made for the 'STRAAT' museum in Amsterdam. You should visit when you are there.
For the example we used the panos just to make the model as a 'carrier' for our new feature.
There is no direct connection to the museum or the subject of it.

Yes, we had fun

Hi,

thank you all!
I think these are great new functionalities we add to the platform.
I can imagine many ways of usage, but yes.. it's quite specific. Easy to use though.
We really look out for the 3d hotspot coming and other model related new stuf we hopefully get, like multires textures.. or multiple obj.. etc..

I'll be back later to give some more insight in the promo example details.

As far as I see you can do
1) Cinematic intros / camera animations, if you have a true 3d scene.
2) Hotspot animations with and I guess also without having a 3d scene.
and as in the example tour combinations of both !

yes that is correct!
To understand the power a bit, if you start the photocubes (example 4) and go quick to example 3 to start the yahtzee.. then you can see how 50+ timelines running 50+ hotspots at the same time.
That could be a small crowd

Hi Panimators,

We have send a little update for the Blender add-on to all Panimators today.
If you didn't receive the email, check your spam folder or contact me by email.

The update is mostly about being compatible with the HotspotStyler add-on

Der mische and Tuur

If there is a character model in the scene, can you walk with animation? Will the version be upgraded? Can add lights

if we see nice options in future versions we'll investigate and probably make a new version yes or add functionality if needed.
We'll see what comes in the later 1.21 versions.
