Visualisation performance      

Started By  Florian Declercq
Hi, I have a setup with relatively complex scenographic elements and almost 400 individual fixture. I use a super loaded computer with I9-13gen and RTX4090, 32 go fast ram, M2SSD, pretty standard high grade setup However I facing that if I turn on my 12 color strike M, I drop to 1-2 FPS. Is there anything to do on windows to get the maximum rate I would like to know how the 3D renderer work, is there plan to use nVidia tools like cuda, DLSS and ray tracing Thanks you

Material is very dark      

Started By  Floriaan
I have applied a material to an imported mesh and it appears very dark. Is this because of the shape The only way to get it lighter is to give it a luminance. This does not seem the best solution ;-) Here is the material I applied: and here the result: I've used the following material properties:

MVR Import with Textures: Vectorworks > Capture      

Started By  supermodified
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' ...

How to assist capture from vectorworks via MVR      

Started By  benjaminauer
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...

How to make a report item appear as accessory      

Started By  Floriaan
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 adjust multi like fixture like pre-rigged      

Started By  Paul Schuh
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...

How to move the rotation arrow      

Started By  Floriaan
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.

Export parametric geometry to replace with fixtures in capture      

Started By  bobdob
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
