Hi..

After receiving heaps of emails asking how to add Snow and Rain, here it is....
Its really easy as long as you have purchased the krpano licence. I believe it comes with (ptp) Pano Tour Pro.. Its been a long time since I purchased it all...
You can download the latest version of krpano from here.. http://krpano.com/download/

Step 1. After you have created your tour, open up your main xml file.. "virtualtour.xml" for example when using ptp. Copy the code below shown in RED, and past it into your main xml file. It doesn't matter where you past it as long as you keep it in a separate nested code area.. if you do not want the Snow/Rain in every pano, then simple copy this code ONLY into the xml files associated with the pano tours you want Snow/Rain in.. You can achieve different effect in each pano if you want... A trickle in one and a blizard in another..

Step 2. Copy the snow.swf file from the krpano plugin folder and then create your own plugin folder, as in the image below. Past your show.swf into that.

Done.. You can now edit your parameters to achieve the effect you want...

Oh and.... When it Snows over the Kolor offices and the team looks out of their windows, they get to see this..

Hi..

Thank you to those who sent me a nice emails regarding the Snow/Rain, again .. There is a lot of info on the krpano forum on how to use this plugin, however I will put together a better tutorial for those who have asked me for it.. It’s a really cleaver bit of coding by krpano… What I really like is the illusion of 3D space within the pano.. I am trying to achieve a 3D Fog plugin but its causing me issues.. I will have to do it next week when school break up.. Yippee, holiday...!!

Basically, the code is simple to use but you must include the snow.swf plugin and put in into the plugin folder as shown below. If you just need the snow, you can use the ‘mode’ with “snow” but if you want to use a graphic for fun, then you can change that to “image” and then add a png into a folder and provide the imageurl as below. This example pano above I changed the colour of the snow from white, FFFFFF to blue. The rest of the parameters you can play with to achieve the desired effect...

You just need to copy and past this code below into your main xml file. If you get really stuck, send me your main xml file and I will do it for you with the edited code and the swf plugin. If you do this, you will need to advise me if you need an image png or just the snow/rain effect..
