Hello, I don't understand how I can create a 3D view: Background is black, all objects are black and I can see almost nothing.
Better than words, I took a screen record :
ScreenRecording2024-08-31105538-ezgif.com-video-to-gif-converter.gif
Just in case, I'm on :
- QLC5 beta3
- Windows 11 pro on MSI Pulse GL76
- NVIdia RTX 3060 laptop with 560.94 driver.

How can I create something? I tried the sample.qxw on the root but I get all black too
Is it a bug, a missing configuration or anything else?

Regards

EDIT for Solution:
Windows System => Display => Graphics
Select the QLC-beta application => options => Use the Nvidia card (usually High performance)

What screen resolution? That dialogue looks funny at the start.

I just reduced the size of the window ;) (on a 1920x1080 screen)
I guess the popup is just not UX designed, I may fix it later for an introduction to the code contribution but my priority first is to have a show ^^

3D view: this has been discussed several times. All is black except for fixture selection boxes and fixture beams: it means you're using an Intel graphics card.
Despite you thinking you're using your nvidia card, you must tell Windows to use the "High Performance"

Hi everyone, I'm wondering why I didn't understand, how can I direct the qlc+ 5 program to read the graphics card of my laptop? I reported the sentence that was written in other answers but I can't find qlc-beta application. Can someone post how it's done.. thanks a lot
