Zoomify? I've visited the link but I can't see how to apply that to a spherical panorama.
Anyway, the viewer from GoogleSV doesn't requiere HTML5, it works in IE8 (even in IE7 mode).
I think it's a nice and very useful fallback when everything else fails (this could be very common in old mobile devices, without Flash CSS3 and HTML5)

Hi, does krpano include a fallback for viewing the panorama with Javascript only?
something like this:

Regards !

yes that's true we need at least some 3D information for simulating the transition between 2 panoramas (and this will work only if they are close enough).
but maybe is easier and faster to define some planes (walls, floor and roof) and make the effect online rather than taking a lot of extra pictures and making a video for each transition.
The performance is my biggest fear here, but I think could be nice to try it.

Tourweaaver works with Krpano?
And, what happened with this project?

Krpano virtual tour editor KVTE - download available

ah OK, I think I see it now, is for doing something like here:

Yes, for long transitions you probably need a lot of images, look this really neat example (not a panorama, probably you know it):
http://www.nikolaus-baumgarten.de/zoomquilt/zoomquilt.html
(aca una version mas nueva y animada: http://www.syfy.com/tinman/oz/)

But for moving from a room to another for example I think two images is enough to create a good effect (are not using only two images in everyscape? I saw some videos frame by frame and it looks like just 2 images).
Anyway, I'm still afraid of performance.
We could make the radial blur offline and just load the two blurred images, and make the transition between them.
But with radial blur online the effect could be much more realistic (because we could change the amout or blur during the animation).
I will make some test if I have enough time.

And why do we need a video? I can think in just one reason: "performance".
But look at this:
Fast Radial Blur
http://www.quasimondo.com/archives/000697.php
With Pixel Bender we can make radial blur, so, what's wrong with getting the current view, applying a radial blur, getting the final view (from the next pano), apllying radial blur too, and then make the transition between those blurred images with a zoom and blend effect ?

Also, do you know if Klaus is using Pixel Bender or coding Krpano with C++ and Alchemy? that could make the plugin run much faster if not.

Thanks Zephyr for the tip.
I found only this post in the forum:
Everyscape & Google Street View transitions
and because it's a year old I thought maybe there was some advance on it.

Also because for FPP there's a plugin for those transitions (and they are not using a video... but I don't know how it works, I think you only need to load some static images for the transition).
Does somebody know if it's possible to make (or if exists) something similar to that plugin for KrPano?

And, if the best option is to make a video like everyscape, does somebody know a tutorial for making those transitions? do we need After Effects or something like that?

Hi again ! ( this is my third question in less than 10 minutes :S )

Is possible to make a transition effect similar to Everyscape (http://www.everyscape.com/)
I saw they are using a video for that (it's a FLV that has the transition).
So I guess this is not so easy, maybe because it's a big CPU consumer.

Also, there's a plugin for FPP for making something similar (without videos):
http://www.tourdeforce360.com/plugins/zoomtrans.html
But I don't understand how it works (I think we need to put some rectilinear images and then the plugin uses them as "keyframes" for the transition).

Sorry if this question was asked before, but I couldn't find it (I think that's because it's not possible to search less than 4 chars).

Is there any GUI for making virtual tours?
I'm thinking in something that allow us to view some panorama, draw a hotspot, and link that hotspot to another panorama, etc.

I think I don't understand well what Multi-Frame does.
Is just for adding a lot of panoramas and so then they have a "prev" and "next" panorama button generated automatically?

Hi ! does somebody know if it¡s possible to use krpano with Nokia N97 mini?

Thanks !!
Enrique.

Yes! that was the problem, thanks Klaus !!!!

Hi Job, I can't use krpano.trace because krpano is null !
And I don't know why, because krpano has the interface when the plugin starts, because PLUGINEVENT_REGISTER is fired, because plugininterface is obtained, because my AS3 method is registered for XML usage, because the method is called from my XML with sucess, but then, inside my method, krpano is null !
And is null only if I use parent=stage.
So I think krpano is doing something different with parent=stage that makes krpano null after register the plugin.

Do you know if we must code something different when we use a make a plugin with parent=stage?

Also, I'm using googlemaps... my own plugin (not krpano googlemaps), I'm mentioning it because I found that googlemaps plugin from krpano was not working in previous versions with parent=stage.

Please Klaus (or someone), I really need help with this.
I think this is an internal functionality of Krpano.
Maybe Krpano is adding two times the plugin when we use parent=stage, or something like that.
Because the PLUGINEVENT_REGISTER is fired, I get the krpano interface, also the plugininterface, and I can register a custom function for XML usage, but then when the function is called from the loaded XML I get a null reference to krpano interface and plugin interface, and that is happening only when I use parent=stage...

It's really strange...

Hi! I'm having problems with parent="stage" in my plugin.
When I use parent=stage I receive a lot of error due to trying to access nulling objects.
It works fine without parent=stage.
The problem is really strange
I have a method registered for XML access:

plugininterface.actualizarradar  = interface_actualizarradar;

that method is called inside xmlcomplete when I use loadpano:

<events onxmlcomplete="action(xmlcomplete);" />
     	<action name="xmlcomplete">
				plugin[mapa].actualizarradar();
	 	</action>

but when that method is called, I get a null reference inside it:

public function interface_actualizarradar():void
   	{
			if(krpano!=null)
				krpano.trace(1, "actualizarradar");
       	//krpano and plugininterface are null here !!
		}

and that's really strange because if the method is called is because it was registered with plugininterface before, so, why plugininterface is null later?
and again, it works fine without parent=stage, so I'm losing something there I guess...

Does somebody know where is the problem?

Thanks !!

Thanks Tuur !!

Hi ! is possible to disable the showlog when we press the "o" key?
I have written a plugin with an input text and every time I press the "o" key the log window is activated.

Thanks !
Enrique.

Hi !! does Krpano manages progressive JPEG? (the image is download and visualized by "parts", like in HTML)

Thanks !!
Enrique.
PS: I know we can split a big image into many tiles to obtain a similar result, but I want to know if it's useful or not to save my images as progressive JPEG

Is possible to download an older version of krtransform? I need the rotate option too...
(I want to put all my panoramas pointing to the north)

Regards !
Enrique.

EDIT: OK, I found it here:
http://www.krpano.com/download/archive/
is there any known problem with rotate?
