3D Features

Overview

The Virtuoso three-dimensional features provide graphic feedback for live, preview,

and off-line editing purposes. Once patched with a 3D location, the 3D Graphic

window will allow you to view your current luminaire configuration in either a

wireframe or a rendered three-dimensional representation. Luminaire status and cue

positions appear in the 3D Graphic window as they would appear live and any events

played back while the window is open are reproduced.

The 3D capability will allow you to define a venue size or import a model of your

particular stage production so that show files can be programmed and edited according

to the demands of your particular production. The 3D area displayed in the 3D

Graphic window is referred to as a “venue.”

The window provides numerous user-definable settings such as camera angles,

ambient lighting, and rendered detail level. The window also contains built-in control

interface features which allow luminaire parameter modification within the 3D

graphic environment.

The 3D graphic display is based on a “point of origin,” which is defined in the default

venue or a venue that has been imported. When importing a venue, the point of origin

used to create that 3D model would be the same point of origin used to base your

luminaire 3D location in the patch setup. For each luminaire, an X, Y, and Z

coordinate is defined, which locates the luminaire horizontally, vertically, and at a

certain depth from the point of origin.

Defining a New Venue

Dimensions can be defined for a three-dimensional “venue” which is a representation

of your venue or stage production as defined by 3D modeling parameters. This will be

the venue size used in the 3D graphic window.

To define a new venue size:

Step 1. At File menu, select New Venue... Dimensions

window will open.

Step 2. Enter height, width, and depth measurements.

Step 3. Click OK.
