  • ANNOUNCE: vtour editor, new desktop GUI for krpano

    at first - I'm not sure if this announcement belongs to current part of forum but I believe is really related. I would like to ask admin(s) to move it to better location if he decides to. Thanks for understanding.

    Virtual Tour Editor available for public testing

    I’m quite proud to announce the first public version of Vtour Editor, the user friendly application for creating virtual tours.

    I believe it will be useful as it is for us in ukazkovydomov.cz for more people.

    Vtour Editor is built on top of the great krpano.com backend and it does follow its licensing policy as a commercial/paid application. On the other side – because it’s the first release of the tool – there is time limited free license available for brave users to test it. Also, as does krpano, the application is available for unlimited testing/evaluation with full functionality, except obligatory watermarks in the final tour if it's used without valid license.

    Just visit the download page to get the application for your operating system or read more about application usage.

    This application is heavily related to krpanotools so it's available only for OS X and Windows for now. The Linux version requires new krpanotools to be released (but it's compilable and runnable, except the final export of the tour).

    The application is in the first public version but it's used in real world (OS X version) by real estate guys. But now - it's chance for you to raise "requests for enhancement" to fit your needs. Why not here, in this forum?

    cheers,

  • [RESOLVED] virtual tours: kmakemultires result with different input image type

    hi all,

    I have following situation:

    • input images for krpanotools are not guaranteed 100% valid panos. Sometimes it has unexpected aspect ratio, sometimes it is not 360 grades pano…
    • krpanotools are called from a wrapper application - so the stdout/stdin communication with kmakemultires is not welcomed
    • I need to edit or create my own tour.xml


    Currently I'm doing it like this:

    • I call kmakemultires with special config file in my own terminal emulator. The standard and functional output directory/files tree is created
    • then I open final XML file to make changes
    • The problem is that the user input is required during kmakemultires run in case of unexpected input images


    So is there any way how to use kmakemultires settings like panotype and hfov per input image? Is it suitable to call kmakemultires per input image and then create my own XML file using tour.html, swf, and js from the latest kmakemultires run?


    I also tried to call this sequence:

    • kmaketiles …
    • then create my own XML
    • kprotectcl with -baseswf, -basejs1, -basejs2, -licpath …


    but the final file tree was completely different - with missing files tour.html, tour.js. Only the flash was present.


    thanks for any hint


    20140102 - Used workaround:


    I'm running kmakemultires per image, post processing the resulting XML file (storing results in memory), then I create the final XML from the memory content.
