We have just updated our forum platform and given the forums a bit of a face lift. Please let us know if you run into any issues!

We're pleased to announce that Capture has now been certified by 3Dconnexion! As a result, and with the latest 3DxWare 10.8.8 drivers for macOS, all 3Dconnexion devices should now be fully functional with Capture.

We have just released Capture 2025.1, which comes with a few improvements that deserve a little bit more information than what's available in the release notes. Adaptive Quality Capture's adaptive quality visualisation is designed to ensure that the quality of the visualisation is always as high as possible, without sacrificing the frame rate. This is achieved by continuously measuring the time required by the video card for every frame and adjusting the level of detail as necessary. The a...

No, not tears, but rather visual glitches, or seams, between screen updates. It's explained and illustrated well in this Wikipedia article. While tearing can occur in Capture in both Windows and macOS, it is a lot more prevalent on Windows - and particularly after the last Windows update 24H2 in the fall last year. Microsoft made some architectural changes there that hit Capture hard. While we just released Capture 2025, we wanted to let you know that we are currently working on some impro...

While we just released Capture 2025, we wanted to let you know that we are currently working on some improvements for a 2025.1 update that we're hoping to release in the next few weeks. One of these improvements will be support for SketchUp 2025 files and their new PBR material model.

We are planning to remove the support for Cinema 4D import in the near future and would like to hear from you how that would impact your workflows. The reason for removing Cinema 4D import is that it is becoming cumbersome to maintain and we're not very happy with the state it is in. Key shortcomings include lack of PBR material support, only supporting flat and UVW texture mapping and no support for animations. Given that Cinema 4D now has glTF export we would rather spend the development ti...

The latest version of macOS, 15.0 Sequoia, is expected to be released today. We have tested Capture 2024 on macOS Sequoia and we could not find any issues. As such Capture 2024 now officially supports macOS Sequoia and we have updated the download page to reflect this. Having said that, it's always wise to upgrade your OS with caution on mission critical systems. Especially so perhaps if you are also relying on any non-Apple device drivers.

We have just been informed that SoundSwitch 2.9 has been released, with a new option to output Art-Net to 'localhost' (the same computer). There is a new check box in the Hardware tab under Preferences called 'Localhost Art-Net Node' that you need to check if you are running Capture on the same computer as SoundSwitch.

Our latest 2024.0.37 release of Capture Mobile has a couple of new tricks up its sleeve! We have added an entry for Capture in iOS's System Settings. This contains the same connectivity settings for sACN and ETC Eos that you would find in the regular desktop version of Capture. This means that Capture Mobile can now connect to ETC Eos consoles, receiving and showing the current channel selection and allowing you double tap in Live views to focus the selected fixtures!

Capture 2023.1 is now available for download! The .1 update contains several improvements; Network interface choice for MA-Net3. Improved MVR import with support for GDTF 1.2 fixtures and GLB geometries. NDI update to 5.5.4. Improvements to project file integrity. For full details, see the Revision History.
