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
