  • How can I change the background colour on the 3D 'dolls house'?

    Quote from spacerywirtualne

    Perhaps thanks to this? I haven't tested.

    Hi Piotr

    Thanks for your help, I changed 'bgcolour' in index.html as follows:

    <script>
    embedpano({
    xml: "main.xml",
    target: "pano",
    bgcolor: "#ffffff",
    html5: "webgl+only",
    mobilescale: 1.0,
    consolelog: true,
    passQueryParameters: true,
    onready: function(jsapi) {
    window.krpano = jsapi.get("global");
    }
    });
    </script>

    And the background changed to white on the 'dolls house'.

    As they say... if all else fails read the manual!! *thumbsup*


    Thanks

  • Use png instead of evertags

    Fixed it, 'onclick' action needs to be as follows:

    onclick="set(linkedscene,scene_pano4_sphere);flytopano();"

    where linkedscene is the name of the scene you want to load!

    Once thing to note is that unlike evertags, this icon will only appear in the specific view you put it in, but does give more flexibility to customise

  • Use png instead of evertags

    Just bought the licenced version of everpano and have a question.

    Here is my first '3d' pano - [size=10]https://www.trekwireless.co.uk/ascension/3d[/size]

    I would like to use my own png's instead of 'evertags', here is my code:


    <hotspot name="arrow-270"
    url="../hotspots/arrow-blue.png"
    alpha="0.8"
    ath="271"
    atv="4"
    zoom="false"
    scale="1.2"
    onclick="loadscene(scene_pano4_sphere)"
    />

    Arrow appears in the correct place, but when 'clicked on' the pano does not load correctly and appears distorted.

    If I use an evertag the transition works correctly.

    So my question is...

    What is the correct 'onclick action to load the pano correctly or how can I change the evertag code to use my own png?

    thanks in advance and great piece of software

  • Geometry of 3D elements changes when different pano's are loaded

    Spent some more time using everpano and reading the documentation.

    Getting 'good' 3D models definitely requires practice, I spent some more time today and much happier with the result:

    https://www.trekwireless.co.uk/ascension/3d


    I'd like to offer my clients a matterport style dolls house and everpano does a pretty good job.

    I'm very impressed with the measurement tool too *smile*

    Considering the price of everpano, its a pretty amazing product, well done! *thumbsup*

  • Geometry of 3D elements changes when different pano's are loaded

    I have done a test today, in my local community hall.

    The pano's are each created from 7 x 15mm full frame fisheye images (6 @ horizontal 60 degree's plus a zenith image) all stitched with ptgui, with ptgui reporting 'very good' when optimised, I've also checked nodal point and it is correct.

    My question is that when I add 3d geometry, for example lining up a cube to the four corners of the room, the corner points 'move' when a new pano is loaded. Is this due to geometry errors with the pano's?

    Also I seem unable to get geometry to overlap, see image-1 below, where there is a 'gap' between the two sides of the interior, how do I get rid of this?

    If I just use a simple cube, then its not noticeable (but image-2 and image-3 show how the corner of the cube is different) but I want to model fairly complex internal spaces.

  • Text hotspot loses formatting when viewed on ipad/phone/safari

    Solved it!...

    declare variables...

    for example:

    <data name="flat32-fd-name">Flat 31</data>
    <data name="flat32-fd-floor">Floor 3</data>
    <data name="flat32-fd-date"> 15/8/22</data>
    <data name="flat32-fd-status"> passed</data>

    create the hotspot:


    <hotspot name="fire-door-f32-f3"
    type="text"
    style="fire-door-style"
    ath="182.5" atv="5"
    html=""
    />

    Then 'overwrite' the html string...


    txtadd(hotspot[fire-door-f32-f3].html,'',get(data[flat32-fd-name].content),[br],get(data[flat32-fd-floor].content),[br],get(data[flat32-fd-status].content),[br],get(data[flat32-fd-date].content));


    Hope this is useful *smile*

  • Text hotspot loses formatting when viewed on ipad/phone/safari

    Hi Klaus

    Many thanks for your help, will investigate further. Being able to create hotspots without needing a png is such a great feature and has saved me so much time on this project.

    At the moment the description text for the hotspot is 'static' but for my project I will need to update it from time to time, for example when a new inspection is done.

    For example:

    html="Fire Door F32-F3[br]Inspected[br]8/9/22"


    The 'inspected' and '8/9/22' strings could need to be changed to 'failed', '7/12/22'

    I could create a separate xml file and then include it, something like....

    set(f31-date,8/9/22));
    set(f31-check,pass));

    What is the best way to then overwrite the html string for the hotspot?

    I did try - Set (hotspot[flat-32].html,get(propdesc));

    where propdesc was already defined, which worked fine, but I need to overwrite multiple variables in the html string.

    Thanks in advance for your help.

    cheers

  • Text hotspot loses formatting when viewed on ipad/phone/safari

    I've created a text hotspot as follows:


    <hotspot name="store-room"
    type="text"
    ath="270" atv="-15" edge="center"
    distorted="false"
    renderer="css3d"
    html="Store Room[br] [br]Code C1234X"
    css="font-family:Tahoma; font-size:17px; color:#0000ff;"
    vcenter="false"
    padding="2"
    wordwrap="true"
    selectable="false"
    bg="true"
    bgcolor="0xFFFFFF"
    bgalpha="1.0"
    bgborder="0"
    bgroundedge="0"
    bgshadow=""
    txtshadow=""
    mergedalpha="true"
    oversampling="2.0"
    mipmapping="false"
    onautosized=""
    onclick="loadscene(pano9,null,merge);set(view.hlookat,0)"
    />

    It displays fine on PC/laptop with chrome, edge and firefox, but on ipad/iphone the text formatting is lost. I don't want to create png/jpg's for the hotspots as I need to transfer text to/from a database to update the displayed text. I have attached two screen shots showing the problem.

    I tried changing the rendering from webgl to css3d but it makes no difference.

    Help and advice most appreciated, also is there a way to change the properties of the 'box' for example curved corners?

    cheers Tim

  • Pan around 360 as it is loading

    Hi All

    What is the easiest way to automatically pan around the 360 pano as it first loads, for example start at 180 degrees and pan around to 0 degrees as the pano first loads, or look straight up at the zenith (+90 degrees) and then pan down to straight ahead (0 degrees) or a combination of movements. The idea being to give the viewer a better idea of what is 'in' the pano ready for them to explore.

    Thanks in advance for ideas! *smile*

  • pinch zoom not working on Microsoft Surface

    A new Microsoft store has opened in London's Oxford Street, I visited it today and tried out some of my virtual tours on a big Microsoft Surface PC.

    They look fantastic and worked well, so as always well done Klaus for giving us such an excellent toolset to showcase our images.


    Only feature that did not work was the pinch/zoom gesture, the standard +/- function (i.e. set(fov_moveforce,-1 or +1)) at bottom of screen worked fine.

    krpano version is... krpano 1.19 pr-16 (also tried pr-8 with same result)

    Tried viewing google 360's via google maps and pinch/zoom worked fine.

    Is this a bug?

  • partial pano - can't see it, I must be doing something stupid?

    I normally create full 360x180 panos, did a shoot last week where I've shot a panoramic view across London from the roof of a hotel.

    The output partial pano (processed using ptgui) is 172x32 degrees) file size is 14mb.

    I used MAKE PANO (MULTIRES) droplet (krpano 1.19-pr8) to create the pano, but I cannot view it, I get a message saying FLASH required. Edited the html file to say html5:"prefer" and just get a black screen.

    Only tried locally using krpano testing server.

    Any idea what I'm doing wrong?

  • What equipment to better panorama?

    I’ve just changed from canon 5d mk2 to canon 6d as canon no longer carries parts for 5d.

    Image quality is comparable between the two cameras, I’ve tested side by side.

    6d lets you bracket 7 shots at a time, compared to 5d’s 3 shot limit.

    Nice having Wi-Fi connection to show clients images too.

  • 360 Camera Suggestions

    Re Canon 5d Mk2 - I was told by canon that they are no longer supplying spare parts for this model.

    I have two 5d mk2 bodies, once one breaks then I will upgrade, will probably go to the 6D.

    For 360 stills main advantage would be having a greater bracketing range, as 5D mk 2 only does 3 at a time and I think 6D can be configured up to 7.
