Orby was created using the Adobe Director authoring software, but since it’s inception, there have been major improvements and 3rd party software that are making 3D in Flash even easier. Right now we’re in the middle working on Orby 2.0 engine improvements in file size and management, along with a free bundled OrbyADMIN application to assist in managing installations of Orby on your websites. Even better yet, we’re also creating OrbyFLASH, a Flash Component version of Orby utilizing the free open source PaperVision3D engine. As we are in the midst of our development cycle, we’re looking for any suggestions on what you would like to see in the OrbyADMIN or OrbyFLASH updates, just give us a holler either here or using our sales form.

We’re currently working on the next version of Orby and we are looking for feedback from our users as well as anyone currently interested in pushing Orby to the next level.

Here is what we are working on at the moment:
-more external xml options for additional control over viewer configurations
-dynamic forward and backward buttons instead of linear directions
-a map including where you are standing within the walk-thru as well as your current perspective

Let us know what you think.
You can either reply to this post, or send us an email.

With the launch of the new website, we would like to announce the release or OrbySPV v1.5. In this release we have added the ability to edit the interface externally, load an unlimited amount of images for our higher bracketed licenses, as well as fine tuned the performance of the dynamic preloading. The new version of Orby can be downloaded either from the Trial Downloads, or for existing customers, the Support Center.
