Max number of panoramas

by Coldmami » Tue Jul 14, 2015 8:23 am

Hi, is there a maximum allowed number of panoramas per tour? I need to build one tour with 1200 panoramas and even if I resize them to less then 1 Mpix PTP1.8 will stop responding. All panoramas in that size will take about 300 MB but when I lload 20 panoramas with 50Mpix total size in MB is larger and program does not have a problem with it.

1200 panos..! I would ask, why..? Who would sit down and view 1200 panos.. Why do you need so many..??

To spend just 10 seconds viewing each pano, will still take 3.3 hours..

BTW. As far as I know, there is no limit but.. having that many panos might be complicated to link..

There's no limit except your hardware. That is way too much and you'd need some sort of über-computer.

In v2+ there's caching of your panoramas in your project so that would be more feasible... (FAQ for PTP 2: http://www.kolor.com/wiki-en/action/vie ... a_tour_.3F )

Why I can load 400 panoramic images 40 Mpix each but 1200 with 1 Mpix does not work?

Kindly inform that this topic is not about why I need 1200 panoramic images as one virtual tour.

May I ask why you are using PTP 1.8 rather than 2.x?

Would you consider creating multiple smaller tours and linking them togther?

Because 2.X is very difficult program to use. I have to set the spot view for each link and it can be done easier in 1.8.

Second thing, my client has to store the virtualtour on a local drive. No extra programs shall be used to view it.

In 1.8 version, adding a lot of panoramas at same time will require a lot of memory because ALL panoramas will be loaded.

We improved this in 2.x . In 2.x, only new panoramas, or panoramas that were not previously built will be loaded.

If I understand correctly your remark about an extra program, it meas that your tour contains a floorplan and/or a map. Is it true ?
If your tour does not contain any, then you can run a PTP2.x tour (containing only 1.8 available features) locally without any extra software.
