Thank you for trying to post in English.

If your question is: Is there any 3D visualizer for artnet in linux, then you may try QLC+5 :)
It is still alpha but you can run them side by side with QLC+4 (or on another computer).

Other than that, search "visualizer" here, you will see a lot of discussions.

(Not tested, just an idea):

- add the same fixtures to both QLC+4 and QLC+5
- setup 3d View in QLC+5 (stage, move fixtures to proper place, etc.)
- set QLC+4 output to artnet
- set QLC+5 input to artnet and enable passthrough (so that QLC+5 passes its input to output, otherwise the visualizer will not work)
- I'm not sure if you need to set QLC+ output to something or not (n that case, make sure you don't create artnet loopback, use another artnet universe for output)
- I'm not sure if you can run two artnet programs on one computer, you may need to have two network cards...

You have to manually bind 2 IP addresses to your NIC... Then make sure every Artnet program uses it's dedicated port to listen to. This should work

Hello fabio, I tell you how I do it and what software I use.

As O.S I use ubuntustudio (xubuntu)
To control dmx QLC +
To design scenarios and lighting I use nicolaude's easyview running with wine, it is available on nicolaude's website

Just connect your PC to a router and select the output of qlc on art-net and the DMX entry of easyview on art-net, It works perfectly on linux.

Limitations:
easyview is a software to run on windows, for my sunlite running on windows it was always a headache, it freezes, sometimes it does not respond ... sometimes it disappears .....
On the other hand, in linux with wine and using the directx9 library to wine the visualizer works perfectly and without errors it allows to use the maximum resolution and project shadows, which does not allow to use the advanced render

QLC + 5 will incorporate its good 3D viewer but it is still in alpha phase and it is not recommended to use it in production yet .... greetings

Hello!
Have you thought about launching a Linux Distributor with QLC + name?
A distro of QLC +?

Similar to the Kodibunto, where the kodi runs like a Linux distro.

What do you think?
