Open source visualizer for ArtNet

First a short disclaimer: This project is still EARLY ACCESS!

Final target of this project

In the end this project should be able to function as a replacement for expensive 3D-DMX-Visualizer. In the current state it's far away of being able to do so.

Install

1. Download Blender 2.8x from the official site.
2. clone this repository to your computer OR just download the .blend File.
3. Make sure you are opening the file with the blender version downloaded from above.

Use this project

• Switch to the Scene called "Scripting"
• Run the script "create_lamps.py" (see table below for more info)
• Change options in "artnet_server.py" (if needed, see below for more info)
• Run the script "artnet_server.py"
• Switch back to Scene "Modeling"
• Switch Viewport shading to "Rendered"
• Enjoy
• Exit the script with ESC or RMB

Background Info

• The script will create a csv-file in the same folder as the blend-file and store the fixture mapping in it. It will use the first spotlight parented to the object with the name of a DMX-channel, with the number displayed in three digits. So DMX-address 1 will be mapped to the object with the name 001.
