Is there possibility you can add egg crates to fixtures as these are widely used in film and tv industry and makes a massive difference to the exposure and light quality. Standard egg crates are 50 degrees but would be good if there was an option to adjust. Also would be good things like 12x12’ frames and 8x8’ frames with various diffusion materials such as 1/4 1/2 and full grid cloth as this is also widely used in film and tv.

6 Replies and 241 Views WASD to move in the views
241 6 - Started by Deshley, last post from BadIdeaFactory

Hello there, I was wondering if it was possible to maybe add a feature, or some kind of plugin, to move using the WASD keys in the editor. Im not sure what its called but the view you get when looking at it with the lights and stuff and you see what it would look like in real life. For example: W = forward A = strafe left S = backwards D = strafe right Just like a video game of some sort. I suppose moving around would be way easier that way.

Hello All, There is a quick with the way the "specific" trusses adre build in capture. For T frame, PRT trusses or other stuffs like this, this is a build with bar and snapping point.

Could you please by default, lock the break option for this library items It&39;s a pain to retrieved the origina objet of by a mistake you lose all th...

0 Replies and 115 Views Better Power Calculations
115 0 - Started by LennySasso, last post from 2025-03-05 23:00

I’m wondering if there is a way that we can add the ability to push better power calculations - specifically amp draw. Perhaps we can select voltage either per fixture or per layer and have the ability to push a report that shows how many amps a group of fixtures will draw, at whatever voltage 120-240 we set I feel like this would help considerably when figuring out circuitry. I currently have to do all power calculations outside of Capture - would be nice to just include this.

6 Replies and 124 Views I feel Capture could benefit from a Gizmo (3d transform tool) and more object/group/global axis options for manipulating 3d objects

<p>I&39;ve used a number of 3d programs in my time, but one of the fundamentally useful tools that I feel is missing in capture, is the "Gizmo" or "transform tool"It&39;s something very useful in programs such as Sketchup, Unreal engine, Blender, MA3D and many many more</p> <p><img alt="Transform Gizmo - Blender 4.3 Manual" aria-hidden="false" jsaction="" jsname="kn3ccd" src="https:...

2 Replies and 196 Views Fixture Finder Catalogue
196 2 - Started by Ben Cassels, last post from Tom Andrews

We all know how frustrating it can be to try and search for the "perfect" fixture for a gig. If you need something with 2 gobo wheels, searching through forums or manually dragging in 10s of fixtures into capture to find something that matches what you need can be tiresome. Capture has probably the leading fixture library, with every element of a fixture meticulously documented - could it not be possible to have a more advanced searching feature Search features such as whether or n...

Hello, I&39;d love to see the ability to be able to take say my alpha view and use that as a video source for my LED screens in my room. That way for presentations I can display it as accurate os possible. We run IMAGS in our room and when rendering videos id love that the camera im looking at is being displayed on the IMAG screen. I can easily do it with still images but I want to make it feel "live"
