New Vendor Model Import
« on: January 15, 2018, 07:16:08 AM »
Will more models be added to the new import functionality in 2018.2?  I noticed the ChromaGlow presents are not in there. What about other vendors like HolidayCoro?  I like how this takes the guesswork out of creating custom models.

Boscoyo is definitely busy getting more models in there.  I'm actually surprised by how many they were able to get in there in such a short amount of time.    When testing last week, there were only about 10 in there, so to see a majority of their catalog in there is awesome.   

Other vendors are more than welcome, but they would need to talk to Sean.   We do "charge" a yearly fee/donation for the marketing and it's really up to the vendor to decide if that's worth it to them or not.   They would obviously also need to do the work to create the XML files and such to describe their products, create the models, etc....   It's not something a vendor will be able to do overnight or for free so they would need to consider their users and products and do what they think is best.

From what I have heard, Boscoyo has plans to have all their items that they sell included over time.  They just haven't had the time to do them all thus far.  If you can't find something right away, keep checking back.

My understanding is that any vendor can have a link to be able to download their models added to the program if they contact the xLights developers.  I think their may be a cost to do so, as it is a form of advertising in the program.
