Is there any GUI Frontends for Pannellum ?

Just wondering if such think exists.

No problem with the current JSON as such, but as the tours get bigger the file is getting complex.

Regards,

The only one I know of is: https://github.com/NiHoel/cirspecte

While it uses Pannellum, it makes a number of other changes, so the JSON files it produces aren't directly compatible with Pannellum.

I have created a visual tool to do multi-resolution virtual tours based on PANNELLUM. It is a program made in php, it does not use databases. It allows in a few clicks to generate a virtual tour with animated hotspots, logo, thumbnails of the scenes, etc. The program generates the images (tiles) from an equirectangular photo using generate.py programmed by Mattew, so you must have installed python, pillow and nona.exe (part of Hugin) as described by Matthew in the instructions for the use of generate.py. You also need to have an Apache server installed locally and php. The files can be downloaded from https://vallepunilla.com.ar/tour/tour.rar I hope it is useful, I await comments. Thank you.

@juchijaw That looks ace. I'll try that later. But I dont think I could cope with Python, or Apache etc. Looks interesting though.

PS I'm only an Artist with virtually no programming skills.

Thanks. Trying it out now.

So, this Python. What do I install ?

What you need to use the program I wrote is a web server and php installed on your machine. You could use Wampserver (https://www.wampserver.com/en/) or some other alternative. Python (https://www.python.org/downloads/), pillow (https://pypi.org/project/Pillow/) and nona (http://hugin.sourceforge.net/download/) are required for run generate.py, the file written by Matthew. As I have added a few lines to the original file you should not download it, it is included in tour.rar.
