Instruments 71 through 76 are six Source Four Jr. The example download includes paperwork, and here is a list of all the fixtures used: Fixture The workspace includes some demo cues, and you can adjust those or create your own. This adjustment may not be necessary, however. If you don’t see lights changing, you may need to choose QLab Preferences from the QLab menu and check the box marked Use broadcast mode for Art-Net lighting. Adjust some levels while looking at Capture Nexum. In QLab, if the Light Dashboard is not already open, choose Light Dashboard from the Window menu or use the keyboard shortcut ⇧⌘D. Then open the file named Lighting Playground.qlab4 which will launch QLab. In the example download, open the file named Lighting Playground.c2s which will launch Capture Nexum. Getting this to work on your Mac is surprisingly straightforward: You can click on each image to enlarge it. Here are some stills exported from Capture Nexum. NOTE: in this video, the visualizer is running at a substantially reduced frame rate because screen recording software is running simultaneously. Here it is in action with QLab (best viewed full screen): Does not export DXF or DWG model files. Does not export Capture Presentation files. Fewer available trusses and fixtures in the library. 
It compares favorably to the paid editions of Capture Nexum, with only the following limitations: The Student Edition, which is free, may be used for any purpose, educational or not. The simulation uses a lighting visualizer called Capture Nexum Student Edition.Ĭapture Nexum is a fully featured cross-platform lighting visualizer that accepts Art-Net input and displays a WYSIWYG (what you see is what you get) simulation on-screen. It includes a complete set of working files to simulate a theatrical production lit by 35 generic lighting instruments with old school scrollers, and four moving lights. This chapter is not a lighting design tutorial but, as the chapter title suggests, a ready-built playground designed for teaching yourself (or others) how lighting works in QLab. This tutorial demonstrates how to use a software lighting visualizer that is reasonably detailed, fun to use, and free! If you don’t have access to a lighting rig to experiment with the lighting capabilities of QLab 4 or QLab 5, it really helps to have a simulation of one.
