grandMA 3D 6 www.malighting.com -------------------------------------- * Means something was changed/fixed + Means something was added - Means something was removed -------------------------------------- Version {currentversion} [{currentgma2streaming}][{currentgma1streaming}], released {builddate} ================================================== * Update with new streaming versions in grandMA1 and grandMA2 mode Version 6.0.11.15 [1.6.0][6.4], released 2009-12-18 =================================================== + Multiple grandMA 3D versions can be installed on the same computer (one per streaming version plus one beta version). + New "Load Show..." dialog for easy loading of shows from other streaming versions. + Commandline window is now integrated into grandMA 3D (grandMA2 commandline in grandMA2 mode). (Connection via telenet is still possible on "localhost:30000".) + New menu item in import tool: "Show Last Import Log..." + New menu item "Delete" in import tool to remove previously imported 3d models from a model database file. + You can drop files and folders from the windows explorer onto the model import tool. * "Change Model..." led to an error, if the model was used only by the selected object. * Correct handling of shift and control key in the grid of the material window. * By mistake all materials became invisible when loading a showfile from gMA3D [1.1][6.1] v6.0.5.0 (or older). If this happened and you saved such a showfile you can undo that: Mark all 3d objects in the "3D Objects" window (F3 -> Ctrl+A). Now mark every material in your show file in the "Materials" window (F4 -> Ctrl+A). Finally check the "Visible" box in the "Properties" window (Ctrl+Return). * In special situations the assignment of a 3d object and model could get lost. Version 6.0.9.15 [1.5.0][6.3], released 2009-10-29 ================================================== + 3D objects can be marked as "not selectable via mouse in stageview". * Fix: World dialog copes with empty worlds in show. + Materials can be marked as invisble, to hide parts of 3d objects which use such a material. This can be controlled via the "Visible" property of a material in the materials window or the properties window. Version 6.0.8.20 [1.4.1][6.2], released 2009-09-30 ================================================== * Minor update with new streaming versions in grandMA1 and grandMA2 mode Version 6.0.8.2 [1.4.0][6.1], released 2009-09-11 ================================================= * Size of 3D objects is displayed in dimensions (Size) but can be switched to factors (Scale) via "View" -> "Units" like it was it older versions. * Catergory column is visible by default in media database (grid view). + "Beam only" model (fixture without any body) in media database added. * Fix: Some fixture types with unsorted shaper blades lets to a crash. * Fix: Network settings dialog copes with network adapters without IPv4 support. + Additional physical values can be entered into channel functions in grandMA2 desk setup. These value are used for particular positioning of shaper baldes (Enter a special position in degree inside BLADExA-Channels) or set the number of facets of a prism (Enter the number of facets inside a PRISMA-Channel). Note, that these values are only used by grandMA 3D. E.g. the special shaper dialog in the grandMA2 desk will not pay attention to these values. Version 6.0.7.0 [1.3.0][6.1], released 2009-08-13 ================================================= + Import the 3D environment from another grandMA 3D series 1 showfile (*.3d1) or a grandMA2 showfile (*.show.gz) - independent of the current mode (series 1/2). + Export the the current 3D environment without any fixtures to a grandMA2 showfile - independent of the current mode (series 1/2). + New menu item "Change World..." in "Tools" to select another world. + Name of current selected world is displayed in status bar. If the current world is not the "full world", the icon near the name is red. * Invalid physical values of iris channels will be clamped (let e.g. to unwanted flashing effects). * Fix: Sometimes the first character of the filename in the texture dialog was cutted. Version 6.0.6.0 [1.2.0][6.1], released 2009-07-20 ================================================= + Double click on "Controls", "Cameras", "Videos" and "Sessions" in the Assets-Window opens the corresponding window. + Gobo can be a video, too. Inclusive all known effects from "regular image gobos" (gobo in beam and spot, iris, prism, forst, shapers, ...). Just change your media names from *.bmp or *.png filenames to filenames of video files (fixture type editor in grandMA1 or grandMA 2 desk). + Textures of 3d objects can be videos too. (Select 3D object, then the material in the material window. Now you can change the texture in the property box.) * Source-Files of Textures can stay outside the showfile to minimize the showfile size. (Videos must stay outside.) + Videoplayer window to control active videos (play, pause, loop, ...). To add videos, change a fixture gobo or a material texture (see above). + Folder-Page in Application settings dialog to change the path of the media folder locally (video files, ...). + "Recent Files" in "File" menu + New menu item "Select This Material" in context menu of the stage view. + Messages and warnings in material/texture-dialog (e.g. if image size is very big). * Fix: MA-Net-IP can be switched to "127.0.0.1" (grandMA 1 Mode). Version 6.0.5.0 [1.1][6.1], released 2009-06-16 =============================================== + Release notes are now included in the application. + Bloom effect for really luminous render output. (Can be controlled via the "Render" menu in the toolbar.) + "Own Streaming" info button in sessions window + New columns in the media database (grid view) and the import tool: "Vertices" (number of vertices of the 3d object) and "Size" (only new in the media database grid) + Import tool shows (highlighted) warnings and errors while importing a 3d object. * LED fixtures now respects the size given in the grandMA2 fixture type (if the fixture type has no model key which directly selects a 3d model). * Fix: Paste in grid for rotation columns + "Reset Camera" in import tool * Faster import of very big 3d models + "Invite Enabled/Disabled"-Button operates now in grandMA 2 mode, too (was "Allow Invite").
