Vivien 2020

Vivien 2020 is available now! With a 64-bit architecture, new VR features and more, Vivien is marching into the future of event design and planning.

What’s New

CONVERSION TO 64-BIT ARCHITECTURE

Vivien is now a 64‐bit application with improved stability and performance, removing the limitations associated with 32‐bit software; specifically, the amount of memory available to the application.

VR FEATURES & UPDATES

Vivien 2020 packs many new features for VR including a highly requested Companion Mode, where you can control some VR features on behalf of the person experiencing it. Perfect for those immersive client presentations!

VIRTUAL VIEW RECORDING

Recording the Virtual View is now possible from within Vivien 2020, using Vivien’s native video capture feature and setting your preferences through the new Virtual View Output Tool. Videos are recorded in a choice of high/medium/low quality settings and saved as an .MP4 file.

SOFT-EDGE FIXTURES

Soft-edge versions of multiple fixtures were added to the Library, enabling more accurate lighting simulation when such fixtures are needed.

BUMP (NORMAL) MAPPING

For added realism in Virtual Views, surfaces and other 3D primitives can now be textured with a Normal Map image to create the illusion of a textured surface (bumps, ridges, valleys, etc.), which interacts correctly with light.

LIGHT EMISSION GLOW

Any light emitting object can now display a glow effect in Virtual View, providing greater realism and aesthetics when simulating objects such as LED ropes, light boxes, etc.

ULTRA HIGH IMAGE EXPORT

With the appropriate hardware, Virtual Views may now be exported in greater and finer detail resulting in higher-fidelity images.

SKETCHUP 2017 AND LATER FILE IMPORTING SUPPORTED

Vivien 2020 can now import .skp files saved in the SketchUp 2017 (and later) format.

ALTERNATE INSERTION POINTS FOR 2D & 3D PRIMITIVES

In Vivien 2020 you can now insert 2D & 3D Objects, whether primitive shapes or library items, from any corner or logical points. With the object on the cursor, simply right-click to select a different insertion point.
