    Hello all,

    Finally took the plunge and purchased Atlas after using only MA3D for pre viz.

    I've noticed that many of my most commonly used lights have improperly visualized effects. One example is the Elation Platinum Spot 5R having a 3-way prism in capture vs the 8way prism in real life. Also, the prism doesn't expand the angle of the projected beam, it just splits it into 3 nearly parallel beams.

    I've noticed similar things with other fixtures. I understand that the capture team can't possibly mimic the physical performance of every fixture, but I'd expect things in the user manuals of fixtures to be implemented.

    In MA3D I could change the quantity of prism facets, the angle of the facets etc. as well as change the fixture model from a generic model to a realistic 3d model of the fixture. Are these things going to be implemented or maybe on the list of things to allow users to change under the properties window?

    Thanks

    For fixture requests please mail us at library@ and we will fix it for you in a few working days free of charge. Once it is fixed there is no need for anyone else to have options to make changes, and therefore we do not allow user customization of fixtures. All data is collected from manuals but keep in mind that apart from library developer errors these manuals also have errors compared to reality sometimes, and by the time they are updated we might have already released the fixture. Bottom line whenever you spot an error just drop as a line and then it is fixed once and for good.
