R44 is Available Now!

With major improvements in realism and accessibility, wysiwyg R44 is all about the details. Check out all the new features of the latest release!

Features and Improvements

AUTOUPDATE

AutoUpdate allows wysiwyg to automatically check for and install patches and fixes whenever available. Major releases like the upcoming R45 will still need to be downloaded.

ALTERNATE INSERTION POINTS FOR 2D & 3D PRIMITIVES

R44 delivers a long-requested feature: a small but powerful change, you can now insert 2D & 3D Objects (including LED Walls and Screens) from any corner or logical points. With the size-defined object on the cursor, simply right-click to select a different insertion point.

NORMAL MAPPING

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 to add realism in Shaded View.

LIGHT EMISSION GLOW

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

VARIABLE GROUND SMOKE EDGE IN SHADED VIEW

Ground Smoke’s edge sharpness is now controllable, giving it a more realistic look and allowing it to be less (or more) defined based on the user’s preference.

ULTRA HIGH IMAGE EXPORT

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

QUICK RIGGING POINT TOOL

To speed up workflow and aid with visual placement and labeling, R44 fulfills another long-standing request from our users since Rigging Points were added to wysiwyg.

This new Quick Tool allows you to rename and update Rigging Points’ parameters by prefilling the information once and simply clicking on them to apply, the same as when using the Quick Fixture Tool.

IMPROVED COMPATIBILITY WITH BLACK MAGIC DESIGN VIDEO CAPTURE DEVICES

Enjoy improved compatibility with video capture devices by Blackmagic Design. Currently, the only certified devices continue to be the Intensity Shuttle USB 3.0 and the Intensity Pro 4K, but compatibility with more devices will be announced in the first half of 2020.

gITF FILE SUPPORT ADDED

wysiwyg is now able to import GL Transmission Format files. This format is intended to be an efficient, interoperable format with minimum file size and runtime processing.

GENERAL IMPROVEMENTS AND BUG FIXES

General improvements and fixes across all wysiwyg modes.

LIBRARY ADDITIONS

There are new accessories, gels and gobos, truss, library objects, as well as some corrections and updates for older fixtures.
