Was working on a pre-viz for a TV commerical, using Astera Titan Tubes to create some animated lighting effects on soccer balls and shoes. I've got the Astera Tubes patched in, and they are controlled by my programming in Onyx as expected, they light up. But they do not seem to cast light onto objects I used a Sphere Hull extended to make a ball, and also imported a sketchup model of a soccer ball. My other instruments light these objects, but the Astera Tubes don't cast light onto them! Am I d...

I'm pretty new to Capture and am currently trying to setup a visualisers alongside eachother to make some comparisons between them. The first issue I've run into is that I cannot get what feels like an accurate blackout. The whole stage is washed in a dull ambient light. How do I get around this and get more accurate lighting I'm using the ETC Mind The Gap showfile.

Hi, It would be cool if we could set some fixtures to not be effected by smoke. this would be handy when visualizing fixtures like atomic strobes

If I set a layer to be invisible in a layer set, why does the geometry still block light Though the object is not visible Let me know if I am setting something wrong! I'm just turing on and off the layer in the set, not messing with the 'affects light' setting. Robb

Hello, is it possible to crossover universes i want to buy the solo-edition and i work in my location with ETC Eos/Nomad, i need max. 512 channels but it's splitted in 2 or 3 universes, for example: 100 Channels in Universe 1 300 Channels in Universe 2 112 Channels in Universe 3 is this generally possible in capture Is the restriction just 1 closed Universe or just max. 512 Channel independently the universe Nr. Thank You Yannik

I am wondering if anyone has had success importing focus positions from VWX to Capture as an MVR. I understand that the MVR file format is capable of transferring the focus information for conventional lamps (if present in original CAD file). I have been able to do so with a another visualiser but I've had no luck with Capture importing this info so far.

Hello all, I work with a megachurch in North Little Rock, AR and we just bought capture to model out the stage in our sanctuary. I'm the lighting director, but me and my media director both have 0 experience with Capture and - even with tutorials - we aren't confident in our ability to correctly get this done.  With that being said, is there anyone out there that does freelancing in this area Anyone that can do it all for us We have a time limit to get it done.

Is it possible to have capture check the fixture patch and show in red overlapping addresses or double channel numbers This would be very usful when importing a MVR file that has fixture address info and double check that the patch is in working order.  Thanks for your time, Jon

I'm still learning the in's and out's of the software but is there no speaker library with various types of speaker manufacturers or a way to populate a line array If not how are designers building that aspect of their rig in capture

Hi, After upgrading to Big Sur, several months ago, and since then, all my .c2p files have lost their capture logo  icons. After several Capture and OS updates, they remain white. I'm attaching some screen shots so you see what I mean. Any ideas Thank you Philippe List View Icons View Gallery View
