screenplay:

 

I recently purchased your StreetViewConverter plugin. I'm fairly new to Unity/C# and when I try to build a game using your plugin I get an error saying:

error CS0246: The type or namespace name `UnityEditor' could not be found. Are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?

Yes, you can't build stand alone application from project that uses a Unity3D editor functions.
- rightclick prefab in project Assets
- choose Export package
- add this package to new project
Street View Converter names prefabs like point_-23.303391x151.914955.prefab

 

Hey,

I purchased the plugin today and it works quite well in the few quick tests I did with the asset.

A few questions regarding the asset,

1) I would like to save the individual textures that are used to generate the cubemap, is there a way to quick implement that either by code or by an update on your end?
2) I would like to know if you plan on releasing the source code, this way it is possible for me to test a few changes that suite my pipeline.
3) Are there any future updates planned?

Thanks,
Sam

 

Hey,

Just a quick update, regarding question 1, I found the individual textures generated by the program in the windows temp directory so I know where to find them if needed.

Thanks,
Sam

 

1) I would like to save the individual textures that are used to generate the cubemap, is there a way to quick implement that either by code or by an update on your end?

- upgrade plugin to version 1.1. Now StreetView Converter saves panoramas in project Asset. Also plugin creates a material to use raw texture instead of cubemap.

Keep in mind that cubemap always have better quality than regular texture. Another point - many mobile graphical cards limit texture size to 1024x1024.

2) I would like to know if you plan on releasing the source code, this way it is possible for me to test a few changes that suite my pipeline.

- you don't need source code to investigate Google StreetView API. See https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/streetview/

3) Are there any future updates planned?

Yes. Ask what features you need to implement.

 

Hey,

Thanks for the reply. I will download the latest version from the asset store and try it. Thanks, I will keep the mobile limit in mind.

I guess my main reason for the source code was to get to the textures, but I am all set now since I know where they are stored temporarily and you also provide the panorama in the revised version.

Thanks,
Sam

 

I recently bought your street view converter tool for unity. It's great, simple, and hasn't failed once, which is fantastic.
However, I often want to hand paint a map, or do some image manipulation on it before I import it into unity, and I was wondering if your tool could include an equirectangular projection (or longLat) projection step, which we could save out as a single image?


Thanks.

 

Check plugin version
Version: 1.11 (Feb 26, 2015) - this version saves 360' panorama into project Assets

 

Hi There. I do have the latest version, 1.11. There is no 360 panorama saved in Assets. Mac 10.7.5. Here are the messages in the console:

System.Net.WebException: The remote server returned an error: (400) Bad Request.
at System.Net.HttpWebRequest.CheckFinalStatus (System.Net.WebAsyncResult result) [0x00000] in <filename unknown>:0
at System.Net.HttpWebRequest.SetResponseData (System.Net.WebConnectionData data) [0x00000] in <filename unknown>:0
UnityEngine.Debug:Log(Object)
ImageFetcherLibrary.FetcherGUI:downloadPieceNew(String, String, String)
ImageFetcherLibrary.FetcherGUI:test(String)
ImageFetcherLibrary.FetcherGUI:OnGUI()
UnityEditor.DockArea:OnGUI()

There is only:

CubeMap
Material
Pointer
URL

In the converted panorama folder.

 

What URL do you use?

 

Any, and every url gives the same set of error messages. I reckon its about mac permissions, if there's no problem on windows.

 

1. create empty project
2. import StreetViewConverter from Unity Asset Store
3. Start Window / Google StreetView Converter
4. Paste
https://www.google.com/maps/@29.976...m3!1sEbwq3yM04UgAAAQfCa3ung!2e0!3e11?hl=en-US

It will create folder
Assets/StreetViewConverterPanoramas/_29.976491x31.134825
and files
cube_29.976491x31.134825.cubemap
inner_29.976491x31.134825.mat
point_29.976491x31.134825.prefab
preview1_29.976491x31.134825.jpg
preview2_29.976491x31.134825.jpg
preview2_29.976491x31.134825.jpg_29.976491x31.134825.mat
preview3_29.976491x31.134825.jpg
url.txt

 

I did all the steps you suggested. I still have the same problem.
I just get what I got before. (cubeMap, mat, url, point)

Interestingly, this is what I get when I download and import SVC from the asset store. I'm using Unity 4.6. I notice that there is only one example here - somehow maybe I'm not getting the update? Did you update on a version beyond 4.6?

Here is the debugs from the console:

 

i see old content of folder. Last version consists of two shaders but i see only one shader.

Uninstall plugin completely and redownload it.

 

I've done that. The image is after I have made new project, downloaded new version, and pressed import. There must be a problem with what you are submitting to the asset store, and the version you are using to submit.
Can you check with asset store?

 

open Unity3D
open Window / Asset Store
open Downloads tab
find StreetViewConverter
press Download
press Import
make sure Import window shows right content of plugin

I tested plugin under Unity 4.6

 

Please stop telling me to do the same thing. You've repeated it for quite some time. I have done all that you have suggested. There must be something else happening that you don't yet understand. Perhaps you can check it out, rather than telling me to do the same thing?
The plugin shows in the release notes 1.11 & new metadata, but still only imports from a previous version.

But...when I press import after a fresh download, in a fresh project...

 

Look to Package Contents
https://www.assetstore.unity3d.com/en/#!/content/28512
The content differ from your screenshot.

I don't know why Unity can't download all files. I think you should ask Unity support team.

 

Hi There,

Just to feedback on the above issues. A new install of Unity did the trick, and the software works magnificently.

 

Finally Asset Store Team approved new version of Street View Converter.

v1.5.03 requires Unity 5. No support for old Unity anymore, sorry.
New StreetView Converter adds all images and materials into project.
No needs to copy them from temporary folder.

 

ahh no support for 4.x ...

This unity release is killing backwards support in a lot of assets.

 

Hi,
great job. It seems that the plug in doesn't look at the orientation and the height parameters.
The URL https://www.google.com/maps/@34.992738,135.751768,3a,75y,90h,90t/data=!3m5!1e1!3m3!1s-fsrJejKELZ9ekXJH4mV5w!2e0!3e5 and https://www.google.com/maps/@34.992738,135.751768,3a,75y,90h,270t/data=!3m5!1e1!3m3!1s-fsrJejKELZ9ekXJH4mV5w!2e0!3e5
produce the same result.
It would be useful to consider them.
Thanks

You can't change image orientation in Google StreetView. Insead of it you can rotate camera.
StreetViewConverter convert panoramas without camera.

 

Hey!
When I try to build my project to run on Oculus it declares a compiler error:

How can I fix this?

 

you can't use StreetViewConverter outside of Unity editor.
Remove cs and dll files before compiling
