This updates allows you to now move faster if cooperating with other creators by speeding up the network transmission, allowing to share any MVR file without having to load it into the scene first, and save received MVR shared commit as a file.
This update extends the local (TCP) implementation of the MVR-xchange protocol to allow exchange of MVR files in a group of stations.
This release adds the ability of device editing while preserving DMX address, universe and/or the Fixture ID. Strobing is now really flashing and not blinking as before. When Cleaning project data, old BlenderDMX profiles are now being removed. MVR export/import has been improved.
These are small but important things that didn’t make it into the 2.0.0 release and they result in better GDTF functioning, slight speed improvements, include some fixes and bring updates to the packaged GDTF profiles.
The data provided in the GDTF files includes not only 3D models, gobo images… or the necessary DMX control descriptions, but it additionally contains measurements of movement ranges, beam angles, rotation speeds, and other physical parameters. This release of BlenderDMX Addon adds initial support for utilizing these measurements on supported visualized device properties, transforming it from a “nice effects generator” into a lighting visualizer representing real lighting fixtures behavior.
There is a migration procedure to make sure older .blend files can be open, but you will have to use the Fixtures → Edit → Advanced Edit → OK, to have the fixtures’ data to be re-generated.
Fixtures with multiple levels of sub geometries where control attributes of color mixing or dimmer are linked to a parent geometry can now be controlled even if the parent geometry is several layers up the chain.
