More details from CAST Software (http://www.cast-soft.com):
TORONTO, Ontario – CAST Software of Toronto, Canada recently sent the Beta version of wysiwyg R28, targeted for distribution within a few weeks, to a select group of wysiwyg members who regularly test the software to make sure it is in perfect operating condition before its general release. (It is now available.)
R28 builds on the advancements delivered in R27, released in summer of 2011, which proclaimed a speed increase of up to five times faster in Shaded Views across all views. R27 also improved the Attribute Layout system to be more user friendly, allowing users to customize the patch, channel, gobo and other markers for each fixture. It also added a new Image Manager system for managing images in the wysiwyg files. Use it to add, delete, replace and/or edit textures, renders and other images.
On top of those advancements, wysiwyg R28 adds these new features:
Camera Paths: Draw a camera path in wysiwyg and play it back in Design or Live mode’s 3D Shaded Views.
Cuelists for Looks: Build looks in Design; store them in the cuelist, and play them back in any order.
LED and Media: Improved Video Splitting (you can now split your Images from the Image manager and apply them to Surfaces, Screens or LED walls).
Shutter Cuts: Edit conventional fixtures’ shutters and barndoors more efficiently, without having to access the Properties window.
New Device Toolbar: Connect/disconnect devices in Live mode and access their properties.
Library: Select all Library items of a certain type and replace them with an alternate style of Library object.
