Title: Xlights 3D ver
Post by: babybear on December 30, 2018, 11:33:01 AM

Do we have a time frame when the Xlights 2019.1 3D version will be out?

Soon.  It won't be a special version the main version you download will just switch to having a 3D checkbox option.  If you run in 2D you shouldn't notice a difference except you cannot go backwards unless you want to reposition all the models.

The other night I went from 2018 58 over to 2018 55 3D  Small learning curve  But so far so good  Did a show folder back up before I did. One model I have is a porcupine ball, I use the spinner for the model, as an idea would it be neat to be able to pull the legs of the spinner in an 3D shape to simulate the porcupine ball. I did render all my sequences and have been running them the last few nights.

If you have an off nominal model like a porcupine ball you'll need to use a PolyLine or multiple Single Lines if you want to draw it in 3D.
