I've been investigating a workflow in which I model my stage with fixtures in Vectorworks and then import it into Capture. It's working pretty well overall, as long as all the fixtures I use in VW are GDTF enabled. However one thing is not importing: textures. MVR is supposed to include textures in the file format, right The textures aren't coming through though. I can see in the Capture Import Window I am getting error messages, example: 'ERROR: Failed to load texture for material 'PAS010 RT' ...

could there be a way, to assist capture assigning the prefered fixture when importing selecting the correct, lens, mode, settings via a hash that can be put in user defined fields within vectorworks would be helpful to make the import seamless, as i now have to do much manual work. for a current project, i have to do planing inside vectoworks, but want to pre programm with capture. changes take a ton of time each time :( this could be also be used to assign diffrent devices between vec...

I am using an accessory for a fixture not in the fixture library as an internal or external accessory. I inserted a report item for that accessory (an egg crate for a LedBeam 150). How do I get this organized in reports under 'Accessories' rather then a separate header called 'Other'

Is it possible to manipulate heads of multihead fixutres like the Chauvet 4bar series The prerigged fixutres in the Library allow you to edit pan tilt of the par cans - is there a way to aim the lights in the 4bar like that My workaround has been to place a '4bar tri (Single par, 1 of 4)' over each of the 4bar's lights, address them in the DMX RGB range of the 4bar fixture, and then set the Intensity scale of the 4bar as low as it can go. And then I can aim'focus them as necessary - but I w...

Whast exactly is the trick to move the rotation arrow from the centre of a selection to somewhere else And also how do I avoid this I find myself occasionally moving the arrow, when I want to move the object and move the object when I want to select the arrow If I may suggest a change, then it would be to introduce a long press (until the colour of the arrow changes to purple (or the selection color for that matter)), which then has the rotation arrow selected and ready to move around.

Hello dear community ! I'm new to capture and wonder is it any way to import parametric model made of separated objects – for examples a lot of spheres. Idea is to replace it later in capture with light fixtures from library.  I'm using blender for modeling, and tried all export options related to .obj but didnt get any results - everytime model recognised as single object. lmk if you have any ideas or experience on similar pipeline.  >>> thnx

Hello We have just purchased Capure which we need to deploy to many PCs (shared devices for students).  I have obtained the MSI which I have deployed using SCCM (Endpoint Manager).  I have a license file with the extension xxxxxxx.cky I would like to know : 1. Is this the correct license file for a network environment or do I need to obtain a different type of license 2. if it is the correct file I can deploy it via SCCM but I need to know where that file needs to be placed and how I...

I have a ground row of conventional Altman 3-color strip lights. I can patch it just fine, but all three colors are just white light, and if I add gels, they cover all three channels. How do I add (in my case) Red Blue Amber to the appropriate channel in the fixture

Hi. I've added a material to a couple of objects (a projector screen and a touchscreen table). Both materials have the luminance function turned on. But even though it's on it doesn't illuminate nearby objects like it would in reality. I've also tried to turn the nits value to max, but there's still no effect. Is it something I'm doing wrong
