Fri, 27 Mar 2026 19:55:13 +0100

Improve Color Handling

The original simple color addition has been updated to mixing in linear RGB for additive colors and to multiplicative transmission in linear RGB for subtractive colors. Color Wheels are now mixed together, controlling RGBA, RGBL fixtures from within Blender has been improved, and when there no gobo and no iris, the beam is now clean. See full changelog below.

BlenderDMX Addon 2.1.6 Released

Tue, 03 Feb 2026 21:52:48 +0100

Extend channels resolution parsing

As some fixtures in the GDTF Share now come up with channels with resolution more then 16bit, ensure that these can be parsed without failing, while downscaling them to 16bit or 8bit, depending on usage. Make the internal Programmer to control Pan/Tilt as 16bit, for precise positioning inside Blender.

BlenderDMX Addon 2.1.5 Released

Sat, 24 Jan 2026 10:53:04 +0100

Supporting high quality meshes from GDTF

With this release we add support for high quality meshes (if present) in GDTF. Multiple GDTF devices can be imported in both normal and high mesh quality at the same time. MVR Import also allows to set the mesh quality preference.

BlenderDMX Addon 2.1.4 Released

Sat, 17 Jan 2026 13:53:42 +0100

Fixture Names and Major MVR Import/Export Improvements

Previously, fixture names relied on Blender’s structural Name property, which requires all names to be unique. While this is useful in other contexts, it is not suitable for device naming. This has now been resolved by introducing a dedicated fixture-name property within BlenderDMX.
