If you have the theatre set up using the same origin in rhino, then you can merge objects via dwg in the same way, and they will line up exactly.
However, copy and paste to moi, and export as sketchup from there - gives much better mesh, BUT export lines that will become pipes as dwg, using the wysiwyg export scheme:
CAST understands it can be difficult to keep your knowledge up-to-date. To help with this, they have launched their own online Academy, containing all the wysiwyg learning resources you need. By enrolling in a CAST Academy course, you and your students can be confident in having the knowledge needed for success.
CAST Software has released WYSIWYG R30, the latest edition of its industry standard lighting design and pre-visualisation suite. R30 is available to download now from the Members Only Area of the CAST Website: www.cast-soft.com. The release follows a phenomenally successful beta-testing period which saw one tester put the new software to use on an undisclosed high-profile project.
The new merge features were also highly commended. In R30, when merging a file, the current editable state of layers is now ignored for both the file being merged and the active file. This means that objects being merged in will no longer have to be put on the current layer. A new Layer Import dialog appears when merging one wysiwyg file into another, which allows users to rename layers instead of combining them and will display the state of the layer in both files. Furthermore, R30 allows the merging of two or more layers together in Layer Manager, for straightforward combining of layers within a drawing.
WYSIWYG R 26 wysiwyg previsualizations and renders are really virtually real! What you see in your renders or on screen is exactly what you can get on the set, in the Venue or on the exterior of the building. Why is this so important? Because your professionalism depends on it!
You need to know that you can deliver the results as portrayed for the project - and that's the Solution wysiwyg delivers. With new wysiwyg you get both the pretty picture and the confidence you can deliver it - a win-win. No more working off a pretty picture that was created without industry technology and therefore cannot possibly deliver the results as promised. With a proprietary library of over 20,000 lights, gobos, and trusses we simply don't need to cheat it!
CAST Group reveals a free version of wysiwyg Design is now available to all students and teachers, enrolled on a full or part-time lighting design course at a university, college, post-secondary vocational or poly-technical school.
Used in over 300 educational establishments worldwide, wysiwyg offers a 3D environment where productions can be planned, designed and programmed, risk free, offering students a safe virtual lab where ideas can be tested and experimented with.
With wysiwyg Design, you can create professional lighting plots and paperwork, and clearly communicate design ideas through high quality renders and animations. Should you wish to connect to a lighting console to program shows, you can upgrade your free wysiwyg Design to a 4 universe (2048 channel) or 8 universe (4096 channel ) version of wysiwyg Perform for only 99 or 149 USD per year respectively.
CAST Software just dropped the long-awaited 64-bit version of wysiwyg R43, now available on the CAST Members Area for download. Converting the wysiwyg application to a 64-bit architecture was no small feat.
In January 2019, the wysiwyg development team evaluated the status of this project, specifically the percentage of wysiwyg modules converted to 64-bit versus what was outstanding. It was quickly determined that they were close at that point and it was time to commit 100 percent to complete the 64-bit architecture for R43.
Fast forward to this summer, CAST Software shared two beta builds of R43 with their beta-testing team, Beta1 in July and Beta2 in August, and together with an experienced QA team, the experienced Beta testers helped CAST validate the entire software in the new 64-bit architecture. The results were positive, but this effort identified some issues related to the new architecture, and together the development team worked on resolving them. It took a bit longer than initially expected, but the finish line was finally reached, and the completely converted wysiwyg R43 software in 64-bit is now available for our users.
With this architecture update, stability and performance increase can be noticed across all modes, CAD, DATA, DESIGN, PRES, LIVE, with more responsiveness and less delays when switching modes and tabs. This update removes the limitations that are associated with a 32-bit software, specifically the amount of memory available to the application. wysiwyg can now utilize more than 4GB of memory to open files.
I was playing with that last night. worked reasonably well. There are a few things I need to figure out involving custom images on surfaces, but over all it was very cool.
I was also playing with MVR between wysiwyg, Vectorworks, and MA3 on PC and found it to be pretty great. Definitely some things I need to learn, particularly on the MA3 side. But it is all very promising and cool.
Thanks for the input. I will hold out hope that ETC will eventually bring MVR into the fold. Until then I guess I just have to practice placing my fixtures in manually.
The MVR will be a great addition to Wysiwyg when available or any 3rd party lighting app. But I still will be relaying on wysiwyg for my pre-vis over the MA3D. I just don't like the output of MA3D. It doesn't have the same vision or output I wish to sell to my clients. It does have its use still (MA3D) for that quick on the spot onsite programming session or stage reference which MVR will help greatly in transferring a design between different platforms.
A company that sells applications designed to help production teams plan lighting for stage productions, movies, television shows and eventshas introduced an academic edition of its flagship program. CAST Software's newwysiwyg Student Edition is intended to help students learn lighting,laser and video event design on professional-grade software. The company already offers a student edition of Vivien, a 3D event design and planning program for event professionals.
wysiwyg allows users to design, pre-cue and play back lighting sequences; show a 3D simulation of their lighting ideas; and produce lightingplots and reports with fixture schedules and other details. The program includes access to a library of lighting-related objects and features.
The student edition of wysiwyg runs on Windows for one year after registration and grants the user access to technical support andmembership in the company's user community. Anything paid for the license can also be applied to a full version of the program as well onetime.
CAST Software has added more wysiwyg Essentials online training throughout March, April and May. The live online training seminars are carefully crafted to focus on specific areas of wysiwyg to help save you time and to work more efficiently. Each online seminar covers the essential knowledge needed to be successful with wysiwyg as well as highlighting new features.
Delivering wysiwyg experts right to your desktop. Schedule classes at your convenience, from one-hour increments for online help, up to week-long sessions for on-site training. Training sessions are subject to trainer availability and demand. Complete this request form and a member of the training team will be in touch soon.
Als Teil ihres Engagements im Bildungsbereich gab die CAST Group of Companies Inc. bekannt, dass eine kostenlose Version der wysiwyg Design Software jetzt allen Student*innen und Ausbilder*innen zur Verfügung steht, die an einer Universität, Berufs- oder Hochschule Lichtdesign erlernen oder lehren.
wysiwyg wird in mehr als 300 Bildungseinrichtungen weltweit eingesetzt und bietet eine 3D-Umgebung, in der Produktionen geplant, entworfen und programmiert werden können. Die SOftware bietet Studierenden sicheres virtuelles Labor, in dem Ideen getestet und ausprobiert werden können.
Laser light visualization in wysiwyg is available in both Perform and Design editions. In Live Mode, lasers can be controlled with the Pangolin Control System and Sollinger Animation. In design mode, a generic fixture can be used and generic laser patterns can be added.
wysiwyg R34 introduces over eighty brand new additions to its extensive library of fixtures and lights. In addition, with R34, there are improvements to CAD Mode, the user interface and navigation as well as layout options.
Overall wysiwyg R34 is very exciting, especially in simulating the laser effect. wysiwyg R34 perfectly supports Chinese type, including CAD Text, the Layers, Scenes, Pres. Auto Hide and the new features are very good.
