Hi,
maybe I am doing something completely wrong, but I followed each step shown in Massimo's video:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i-UhT793fTw
I used the same devices as Massimo, 2D View (Top, left side, front, right side) display ok.
However, in 3D only an empty stage appears. What could I be missing?
Thanks in advance,
Stefan

OS: macOS Monterey 12.3.1
Mac Mini M1
QLC+ 5.0.0 Beta1

I attach screenshots from the side view and stage

Same issue here. Except, 3D view stopped displaying fixtures after it was working fine for awhile. I was using the QLC+ 5 Visualizer to display my workspace in 4.12.5, through artnet. Was working without issue for a couple weeks, but then stopped functioning, and I have since not been able to get the 3D view to display anything in either a qlc 5 workspace or a qlc 4 workspace.

Have tried on a Windows 10 Enterprise desktop and a Windows 11 laptop.

Adding certain buggy fixtures in seems to break the whole program and most fixtures stop displaying afterwards.

Can anyone provide a project file that I can use to reproduce the issue?

Here's an example file. After adding in the CS-1000RGB laser, the spot's light disappears. Can still pan/tilt the fixture, but no light is being displayed even though the dimmer + shutter is up.

On another note, the CS-1000RGB laser is invisible in the 3D viewer and when you try to select the fixture via the Fixture Groups tab or doing select all, the whole program crashes.

Lasers are not supported/displayed in the 3D view
These are the rendered ones:

I could spend some time on fixing the crash and modeling a simple laser, but laser simulation is not planned in any case.

Out of curiosity, how come there's no plans for laser simulation? Is it too difficult?

Yes, it is.
Plus there's no longer a developer working on the 3D preview, so it goes beyond my skills.

I recently revisited this in an attempt to use the 3d View again, and this was indeed the problem.

I went back through my fixture files and removed a few of the ones I created when this started happening.. 3D View is working again.
