    Hi there :)

    Capture works really well for me but there are a few things I would really like to see:

    Must haves:

    -More possibilities for making Annotations and mark things in the plot view (simple Shapes that can be colored for example)

    -Genrally more freedom in customization for plots.

    -Better Search function in the library

    -More options to customize Reports

    -A reset function for all Universes at once (clear all Values)

    -PDF insert (still would be great if possible )

    -More than one camera to switch between

    -More Options for the cameras

    -Fire exit signs and warning signs in the library (really handy to show customers where the signs are and how they look)

    Nice to haves:

    -Export Capture to Cinema 4D/Hantmade Stage (Do everything in Capture and then make it Realistic for Presentations in C4D)

    -Custom sorting or folders for the library or a most used feature or a "warehouse"

    -A bit more customization for the video players :)

    -More functionality for fixtures in the live View (like adding Gobo Rotation Channel for example)

    -A simple controller for Fixtures in Live view (Fanning fixtures, Simple Effects Engine maybe) to make life easier when not having a console to prepare renderings

    -A bit more Keyboard Shortcuts for common functions (like adding Layers for example)

    That's it for now :)

    Have a merry Christmas and a happy new year and keep up the good work.

    Regards JK

    Good list.

    A couple of things I'd like to see -

    • An option to output plots pdfs as vectors rather than rasters. It's really annoying to not be able to zoom in to read the small details without rendering the plot, especially when you can in the plot view of Capture. Which leads me on to...
    • Be able to move fixture numbers around in plot view like you can with other information (DMX address, etc...). This would be particularly useful when there is a small and busy icon (eg. Mac Aura) with limited option for making the text size bigger before it interferes with the legibility of both the text and icon.
    • A user controllable master intensity scaler for fixtures. With so many fixtures in the library, inevitably there will be some who's intensities don't match their real life outputs. I'd love to be able to manually tweak things up or down to get more realistic rendering. For example I'm finding that in Nexum, many of the tungsten fixtures are much brighter than their real life counterparts.

    I would like to add a couple of nice things to have:

    - Library palette, a non modal floating window always available. In combination with:
    - Attributes palette as above ("Selected items")

    This would make drawing faster. I constantly have to switch context in the 4. pane, which is a bit annoying. Thinking of it, layers and scenes could also be palettes.

    It would also be great to have a palette with object listings of imported objects like scenery, flybars and such for easier selection.

    A "favourites" section in the library would also be great, where we could add our favourite instruments for quick access.

    Regards
    Reidar
