color source cyc beam in augmented

Question

I am using color source cyc units as a ground row in A 3D, the beam shoots directly at the back wall and not up when placed on the floor. I checked the position and the fixture profile and all seems ok. Any thoughts?

Hi Scott - 
 We frequently mention that Augment3d is primarily a programming tool, making certain programatic tasks easier with 3D knowledge of your rig and space (e.g. XYZ fades, Track SEM Palettes, click-to-focus, Zones, etc.). And while photo-realism can help - as you might expect - visual-forward rendering like non-conical beams, object transparencies, incidental illumination, etc. can be quite taxing on a machine's processing power. 
 With these two bits in mind, you'll understand why we are not currently pushing other feature development aside to focus on photo-realism. Even so, I do believe our photo-realism will continue to improve over time as our development tools naturally expand. But above all, we will focus on real-time programming and playback performance on our consoles - which means that even as we do bring photo-realistic tools to future development, we may require a tethered machine to access them. 
 There are many fantastic visualization suites that do focus on photo-realism, read sACN input, and thus work fantastically with Eos. If you need assistance getting these programs to work with Eos, we're always happy to assist. 
 Hope this helps! ~n~
