How to merge several images into a dynamic carousel

Hello Tourdashers! It has been a while since the last time we published some technical posts. In today’s post we explain how to merge several images into a dynamic carousel. This functionality can be useful in many areas – real estate and hotels, restaurants and shops, etc.
To edit TourDash tour CSS-styles, you should have access to the CSS panel. It’s located on a “Labs” editor tab. If you don’t see such tab, please, write a request to support@tourdash.com and we will include this functionality to your account.
To see an example of such carousel in TourDash tour
First of all upload images you want to use in a dynamic carousel. All the pictures should be the same size, otherwise the carousel may look crooked.
Next, create a hotspot and use the following snippet as a basis for your code:

If you want to get the carousel without white borders (as in an example), use the following snippet for your CSS styles. To add it go to the “Labs” panel.

For any question please contact us! 🙂

TourDash tour of the month | December’16

Hello everybody! One of our favorite parts of the monthly routine is choosing the best TourDash tour made during previous four weeks. How do we choose it? We thoroughly look through all the tours and pay attention to the common quality and integrity of the 3D performance. What is the idea and how is the main goal of the tour is implemented? Is it interesting to explore? Also we notice using of TourDash features. We really like some extraordinary elements and unusual solutions, which help tours to be more effective. For us it’s like a small adventure – to check all the virtual places and find something really ecxiting. Thank you all for your tours! Sometimes it’s hard to pick one.

December brought us a new cool TourDash tour - Zetels De Man. Customized navigation menu and hotspots, corporate colors and appropriate using of logo look very pretty. The highlight of this tour is accentuated content inside boundary hotspots made as quotes. In these short phrases authors concentrated the main advantages of their product. This is a great move to attract visitors attention to the most important points and help potential customers easily get the gist. All these elements create a positive attitude to the company. The design of hotspots is also very pleasant: perfect size and amount of text, division into semantic units. Just bravo! Hope this tour will convert a lot of the visitors to the customers!

TourDash News

Hello everyone! We have a couple of great news for you!

Google Maps API Upgrade

We have upgraded TourDash to the latest version of Google Maps API. Google has introduced a lot of new features and significantly improved the quality of panorama rendering in this version. Here are some of the improvements:

Smoother Transitions

Transitions from one point to another in Street View now include more animation frames, creating the effect of gliding smoothly to the next location. Transitions in the old renderer looked like jumping from one location to another.

Old renderer New renderer

Smoother Loading Animations

The old renderer repeats images while loading new content, resulting in a stuttering effect. The new renderer uses lower resolution imagery while loading, resulting in a smoother animation when rotating an image in Street View.

Old renderer New renderer

Object modeling improvements

Objects in Street View look better in the new renderer because it builds a 360-degree model that considers all possible perspectives. For example, this high rise building has wavy lines in the old renderer, as opposed to crisp lines in the new renderer.

Old renderer New renderer

Full support of Google Photospheres

phsphere

As you now, we had a limited support for Google Photospheres before. You could use photosphere but the only way was to add them as an external location to an already existing TourDash tour. We have updated our application, so now you can create TourDash tours starting from Google Photospheres without any restrictions!
Stay tuned and read our blog, more updates are coming this year!
