Both pymvr and pygdtf libraries have been much worked on in the past several weeks, resulting in the possibility to finally implement an initial Full Scene MVR Export to BlenderDMX (previously, only fixtures had been exported).

Only a few small missed touch ups were required for Blender 5 compatibility. Btw, Blender’s new Color Temperature for light objects is not utilized in BlenderDMX, we rather use our own Color Temperature calculation which is working for both Eevee and Cycles.

When recording DMX as key-frames, it is useful to start the recording in Blender based on cue timing in the DMX console. The new BlenderControl GDTF device and support in BlenderDMX allows to trigger the auto-keyframe and the animation/timeline play state from DMX. See details in the documentation.
We have hopefully fixed the cause for beam and other geometries to sometimes be placed in wrong location due to the 3D cursor not being at origin. Scanner (moving mirror) primitive type geometry has been added.
Previously, upon reopening a scene, the fixtures’ programming was lost, unless a keyframe was stored or DMX values were saved in an external DMX controller - this update adds automatic remembering of the internal Programmer state to keep the programing. Color Temperature channel has been added to the default MovingBeam fixture.
This release brings several under the hood improvements, together with updated libraries for 3DS (io-scene-3ds) and MVR (pymvr) libraries, which in turn ensure more correct imports and data processing.
