Full Changelog: https://github.com/open-stage/blender-dmx/compare/v2.0.15…v2.0.16
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.
The underlying pyMVR library has been improved and updated to provide better results and more possibilities. MVR Export issue has been fixed.
As Art-Net 4 no longer supports broadcasting of DMX values, the BlenderDMX Addon must ensure to correctly advertise required DMX universes, in order to receive DMX from Art-Net 4 transmitters. Michael Wigard has deeply investigated this and improved the ArtPollReply, to conform to the specification.
