the.dreamer Posted February 11, 2018 Share Posted February 11, 2018 Hello everyone, I have a strange behaviour on VectorWorks Spotlight 2018 SP2 on macOS. If I apply a gobo (R71005) to an ADB DW105 (didn't try with other models, but maybe there is the same problem), set a Focus Point and turn on the light, nothing appears in Fast renderworks (I also tried with Custom and Final). Thought I was doing something wrong. So I tried with another fixture (an ETC Source 4 36deg), applied exactly the same settings (with the same gobo texture) and no problem, it works like a charm. Anyone has an idea ? A bug in the lighting instrument ? Quote Link to comment
JBenghiat Posted February 11, 2018 Share Posted February 11, 2018 Likely, the ADB isn’t textured properly. The 3D symbols should have a texture that doesn’t cast a shadow, so the render light isn’t blocked by the symbol’s geometry. The other thing to check is that the ADB has it’s beam and field angles correct. Quote Link to comment
the.dreamer Posted February 12, 2018 Author Share Posted February 12, 2018 Thanks guys, resolved by adding a texture to the lens object ! Simple but I had to know it. Quote Link to comment
