Krabat – upcoming German fantasy film.

2 Comments Posted in: KRpano, Showcase |

This new site is the essence of what I am striving to showcase here on Flash360.net – a place where panoramas are used as a tool to add interactivity into otherwise “normal” websites.

This site was created by www.onlinemarketingagency using krpano

“It takes you fullscreen (click on “VOLLBILD”) into the main set of the movie where all flash-content is placed on hotspots. It even features a riddle/search game to unlock a room with bonus-material (by finding 5 parts of a magic scroll). Besides navigating within the panorama the user may also use a conventional flash-menu. All panoramas were done in multi-resolution mainly to reduce loading-time. Even if the source photos we have been provided with have been quite low-res (just compressed jpg´s with no floors/ceilings photographed so that the resulting stitches could only become 14000 px wide), I think it´s a nice example of integrating panoramas within a moviesite.”
I hope to showcase more of their work soon :)

Cowdray Ruins, UK

Panoco have made this nice Virtual tour of Cowdray Ruins in Midhurst, UK. This is nice and simple – the graphics are downplayed and I personally prefer the larger hotspots compared to other VR tours.

It looks slightly HDR – this often ruins old buildings, but I think this is subtly done.
