Hello Everyone,

I am currently trying to incorporate an Object2VR multi-resolution project into an iBook, and I have run into a problem with the widget resizing the skin. Instead of filling the window or going fullscreen (1024 x 768), the project is appearing in the top left corner a fraction of the size when opened. The preview within Chrome is perfectly sized.

I have recently downloaded the newest version of Object2VR, and I have also replaced the ibooks.ggt file within the Object2VR html templates folder with the ibooks.ggt file from the tips section of the website. I am using the simplex skin in this example, but the same thing is happening with custom skins I make.

Here are some screenshots of my project file:

The view within iBooks:

And other screenshots within the project:

Please let me know if I am missing something simple, and thank you for any help you can provide,

Will

Hi Will,
Make sure your preview image is also 1024 x 768.

Hi,
Set your preview to 1024 x 768 and your widow size to 1024 x 768.
I opened your ibook and set the above in one widget and made a new book.

I used my adjusted one and one from your book.
The one set to 1024 x 768 opened ok, the other did not.

As the tip says 1204 x 768 are the numbers, change these at your own risk :-)

BTW, I see you have no skin so no way of zooming in, may be no need for multi resolution if your not zooming,
That said then there no point going over 1024 x 768. Which is the logical screen size of the iPad, regardless of retina or not.

Thanks Hopki!

It looks like it was the preview image size. I had just assumed that it would automatically resize to the window size (1024 x768).

Also, I do have a separate skin that does zoom into the model, so no worries about that!

Thank you very much for your help,

Will
