3D FEATURES
Overview
The three-dimensional features provide graphic feedback for live, preview, and off-line editing purposes. Once
patched with a 3D location, the 3D Graphic window will allow you to view your current luminaire configuration in a
rendered three-dimensional representation. Luminaire status and cue positions appear in the 3D Graphic window as
they would appear live and any events played back while the window is open are reproduced.
The 3D capability will allow you to define a venue size or import a model of your particular stage production so that
show files can be programmed and edited according to the demands of your particular production. The 3D area
displayed in the 3D Graphic window is referred to as a "venue."
The window provides numerous user-definable settings such as camera angles, ambient lighting, and rendered detail
level. The window also contains built-in control interface features which allow luminaire parameter modification within
the 3D graphic environment.
The 3D graphic display is based on a "point of origin," which is defined in the default venue or a venue that has been
imported. When importing a venue, the point of origin used to create that 3D model would be the same point of origin
used to base your luminaire 3D location in the patch setup. For each luminaire, an X, Y, and Z coordinate is defined,
which locates the luminaire horizontally, vertically, and at a certain depth from the point of origin.
Defining a New Venue
Dimensions can be defined for a three-dimensional "venue" which is a representation of your venue or stage
production as defined by 3D modeling parameters. This will be the venue size used in the 3D graphic window.
To define a new venue size:
Step 1. At File menu, select New Venue... Dimensions window will open.
Step 2. Enter height, width, and depth measurements.
Step 3. Click OK.
