Feature and improvement suggestions

Feedback from users like you help us shape and improve Eos for all productions. We receive a large number of feature requests and suggestions from many sources, including this forum. Your comments and votes help us understand which features you’re passionate about, but there are many additional factors which inform development prioritization for any given release.

The most helpful information you can provide us when commenting on issues is how a particular suggestion would help you. If you describe your use-case and how the suggested change would benefit your work, it lets us gain a much deeper understanding of the need behind the suggestion. Suggestions often have an impact on what we work on, even if we ultimately choose not to implement a suggestion exactly as it’s described. Our ultimate goal is to understand what you and all users need and to create solutions that meet those needs. Occasionally, that’ll mean implementing a suggestion as described, but it usually means working to understand the need behind the suggestion and how we can meet that need for as many users as possible.

While we endeavor to update and respond to popular suggestions, the volume we receive means there will be occasions when we can’t provide an update or response in a timely manner. For bugs and show-critical issues, please use our standard forums and support structures: https://www.etcconnect.com/Contact/Technical-Support.aspx

    I'm sure these are already on a wish list somewhere, but just in case... Don't ask, don't get. I've managed to import a few screenshots as planes to use in different scenes for an upstage video wall, but they're pretty dim and they can only snap on or...

    Could we add support for diffusion lenses to the patch, with rendering capability in Augment3d? I've noticed that while there are options in patch for beam angle and gel color, there isn't an option to select fixture optics. With fixtures like the ColorSource...

    I would like to use the Master Go/Back/Load buttons for Cues but be able to re-map the Master Fader pair to Global Manual Time or Global FX size/rate. These features are now showing in the fader controls drop down for the master pair, but they don't work...

    Could we have network-based video inputs onto surfaces? Projection, LED and other video elements are even more common these days.

    For simple non movinghead fixtures an in each case suitable 3D model should be selectable from a library for Augment3D visualisation. This can already take place in the patch or only in A3d. Currently allocations:

    Just an idea, when converting argument3d views to magic sheets it would nice when we get a fixture symbol instead a rectangle. What will useful is to have a stock symbol library based on USITT fixture symbols, also for MS.

    For conventional fixtures or floodlights, for example with barndoors or fresnel, the beam on surfaces should be adjustable in the form and size accordingly. Simple Exemple: Also the colour should be adjustable if, for example, color...

    The rig I'm modelling has some Birdies which I could usefully model as a Parcan scaled to 35%, I've also got some 2k Fresnels which are decidedly larger than the existing model. Thinking further on this, wattage could also be a customisable property so...
