Vision 2018 Released

[JimW 937]

Since the introduction of the “Send to Vision…” command, Vectorworks has been the keeper the model of your project. Conventional fixtures are now members in good standing in that all of the parameters such as focus, gobo, shutter cuts are transferred to Vision during the ‘Send to Vision…’ command. Also several environmental parameters have been added and exposed so that there is now a huge amount of control of the lighting characteristics in the room available. 

 

Feature	Purpose
Overall improvements	Vision performance, stability, and ease of use have been significantly increased
New bloom parameter	A new global parameter, bloom, allows you to add a halo effect around bright lights
Improved property parameters	Several global property parameters have been improved or have additional controls, including haze and volumetric quality; Invert Pan and Invert Tilt have been improved for fixtures
Conventional fixture settings from Vectorworks	Lighting device objects now export to Vision with focus orientation, shutter, and gobo information, improving the workflow between Vectorworks Spotlight and Vision
Tool bar improvements	The Tool bar was rearranged and updated to be more similar to Vectorworks’
Keyboard Shortcuts	For ease of using Vision and Spotlight together, shortcuts for similar tools were made the same
New DMX controls	In addition new camera controls, ambient lighting and haze direction controls have been added
Pause DMX playback	The DMX playback can now be paused
