James Russell Posted April 20, 2011 Share Posted April 20, 2011 Hey all, Next week we're doing some testing of exporting Vectorworks file to WYSIWYG for real time renderings and some show plotting stuff. I'm just wondering if anyone has done this, has advice on this or knows a tutorial or guide for doing so. Particularly in relation to the Spotlight elements and if there is a way to quickly and efficiently transfer the lamp types and focuses. We've heard rumours about certain names and layers which have magical properties for this kind of transfer. Any info would be great. Cheers, James Quote Link to comment
ecoteri Posted March 22, 2012 Share Posted March 22, 2012 James, how did this testing go? we have a school interested in using Vectorworks and then later moving some files to WYSIWYG and I am looking for insights to share with them. Quote Link to comment
Chris D Posted March 22, 2012 Share Posted March 22, 2012 Funny, I was asking about GPU rendering yesterday in the Renderworks forum. Twinmotion sounds interesting, but it's a pity it's DirectX rather than open standards. The Twinmotion workflow is export/import based which kind of defeats the object of 'real time' rendering, but it sounds like real time rendering inside 3D design apps isn't more than a few more years away. I hope VW doesn't get left behind. Quote Link to comment
Horst M. Posted March 22, 2012 Share Posted March 22, 2012 I don't know about WYSiWYG From the Past, that Import and Export other Formats was the weak point W For the same Field, there is a ESP VIsion made to communicate directly with VW. http://www.espvision.com/ The Link VW to ESP Vision is working well, I've used ESP-Vison for a show with extremely short Production time, to prepare the whole Console Setup, and some Pre-Programming for Scenes. It is pretty cool to the Lights on Screen from the Lighting console... Quote Link to comment
