Didn't read specs carefully enough. I have been using My DMX for several years. Just ordered My DMX 2.0 for Mac for a church install and just loaded program and learned NO 3D VISUALIZER. I'm a PC so got trapped is the old ASSUME. Was there a My DMX (version 1) for mac? If so, did it have a 3D visualizer? Also, it would be very helpful to be abled to do a split screen app to
allow programing ahile you watch the split screen image of the stage.

I know it's not much help, but I have done installs before using My DMX & you can do Dual screen so that you can have the 3D Visualizer while programming. Plus it allows you to have a full programming screen. Worked well for me & 2 of the installs I told them that it was possible, but they would need the second screen & they though it was great. Obviously no help till the visualizer is released for Ver2, but pretty sure that it won't be too long!

I'm going to purchase MyDMX 2.0 as soon as the 3d visualizer is available. I've turned notifications on for this topic, would you mind adding a comment to the forum when it becomes available? I'll keep checking the site, but I just don't want to miss it. I've got numerous American DJ lights and have used a traditional DMX controller and I would love to replace that with a laptop & MyDMX 2.0. Thank you!
Silly Question...

Visualizing w/ or without the 3d visualizer. What is the typical way to visualize your lights? from the front or back?

I've noticed that when I'm behind my light rack and I pan left (Pan 0%)the light goes to the right.

I'm assuming you're suppose to visualize your light show from the front of your rack while building a show? Is that typical for programing lights? (Sorry, noob question...)

I'm use to running the lights from behind them but will get in the habbit of programing / visualising them from the front if that's typical.

Thanks,

The 3D program is designed to be as if you are in the audience. Now, with that said, there are a few fixtures here and there where the profile is reversed. So, it really depends on what lights you are using. The best way to figure this out is to set up a few of your fixtures and check how they react compaired to the 3D. Hope this helps you out
When is the projected date for the visualizers release? I just switched to the MyDMX 2.0. I spent a good day looking for the visualizer software on it but now I seethat it is not there. One of the biggest selling points to me, when it comes to software based dmx controllers, was having the ability to program my light show from anywhere without having to construct my lighting rig.
It is hard to say, when we created the MyDmx2.0, we had to completely start from scratch with the program. With the new OS PC was coming out with and the choice to build it for Mac as well....we literally started over. Because of this, there have been a few bugs in the design that we had to get fixed before looking at working on the add on parts of the program. Now that we feel it is stable enough, the design team has turned its attention to the 3D program. As soon as i get it, i will release it, but it is still several months out before i even see it let alone have a version stable enough to release
We need to continue posting our requests to American DJ to get a 3D visualizer that works with MyDMX 2.0. I broke down and purchased MyDMX 2.0 a few months ago, but I haven't gotten much use out of it. The program seems like it will work very nicely, but without an option to preview my light sets, it really isn't doing me any good. I don't have the time/space to set up my lights in my home to put together a good set, so I was planning on putting sets together using the 3D Visualizer and making the final edits after I've set up for an event. So ADJ, please keep working on the 3D Visualizing software. Thanks ADJ!

Good morning.

We are now in late 2013, do we have any update on the 3d visualization? I love the product but as many will agree, I don't have the space to setup my lights at home to ensure they work as I want.

The 3d part is a must and I am hoping it will be out very soon. does anyone have any updates on this please?

Thanks

DJ Powers
