MVR import from Vectorworks is included in Eos v3.2.0. 

GDTF + MVR

Just watched Vectorworks's webinar on GDTF & MVR and I hope that this is something that ETC is looking into and will implement in future versions of 3.0 and Augment3d.

  • Howdy! We are currently monitoring these suites closely as they come into maturity. What sorts of features from the GDTF or MVR suites are you most interested in having implemented into Eos?

  • We are trying to add Unreal Engine to our workflow and would love to have MVR + GDTF with all the ETC Fixtures so that once the rig is designed in Vectorworks we can just export once to Augment3d/Eos for programing and once to Unreal for more photo realistic pre-vis for directors and such. Without GDTF files for the ETC Fixtures it is a big pain to have to basically "build" each fixture type from data sheets. MVR would be nice to have a uniform exchange of information between all 3 (Vectorworks/Eos/Unreal).  

  • Howdy! Good news on that front - with Vectorworks 2023 SP2 and Eos v3.2, you will be able to export from Vectorworks via MVR, and all scenic and fixture data will come over (with the exception of shutters, which we are working with VW to improve in future releases). We are going to open beta for Eos v3.2 next week, so look for that on these forums if you want to play around early. I saw your cross-post for GDTF fixture profiles on our fixture page - someone from that team will let you know what their thinking is on providing GDTF profiles.

    With MVR import now available, we will not be creating a Vectorworks 2023 plug-in. Users of VW 2019-2022 should still use the available plug-in, and users of VW 2023 and beyond should use MVR export for scenic and fixture transfer. There will be more information in v3.2 documentation when we are ready for release, expected in Q1 next year. 

  • HI Nick, Could you tell me the way i need to foloww to import my MVR export done with VW in  EOS ?

  • In Eos (with Augment3d running) go to the Browser in the CIA, File>Import and choose the MVR option.
