Release Info

Version v1.0.2

Problem with localized Blender when applying material to the volumetric beams should be solved. MVR import has been much improved - previously missing objects are now being imported, textures for 3D objects are now extracted from the MVR and are used with the 3D files. GDTF import has been made more resilient. Fixture profiles management has been improved together with added support for importing GDTF files from GDTF Share ( https://gdtf-share.com ). To use this feature, register an account on the GDTF Share site and set these credentials in Blender-DMX addon preferences, see small manual here.
