Vectorworks? No it fucking doesn’t

Considering going insane and making the Thunderbolts watch tower in vectorworks (drafting software)

It would be good practice!

Theatre-style lighting in a model of the Starship discovery bridge.

I loooove the visuals of disco--but all nutrek (since TOS) lacks that good Theatre-lense flaire. BRING BACK THE PINK AND GREEN HALLWAYS PARAMOUNT I'M BEGGING YOU.

Made in Vectorworks Spotlight and Capture with ETC EOS software.

I did not make the model! It was provided by an instructor. If I find credit (I am looking) I will post it here :)

this took me so fucking long not because it was particularly hard, lighting wise or technology wise, but because the fucking internet kept going out and destroying the connection between my capture window and the actual fixtures and fucked everything up. And when I re-entered their addresses I fucked up somehow (even though I imported directly from vectorworks and I don't have a universe limit, or any overlapping addresses--supposedly) and all the control parameters got FUCKED.

I would adjust the pan/tilt of one fixture, and a completely different fixture would change colors or intensity. Even after completely un-patching all the fixtures, checking their DMX footprint, remembering that capture calls addresses channels for some goddamn reason and fixing everything there, re-patching (TWICE), fully restarting capture, and completely re-doing the light import/export with a million different parameters like three times the lights were still misbehaving.

I ended up manually panning and tilting within the capture software mostly, even though hypothetically most of the fixtures could have done that themselves.

All I'm saying is that this shit would never happen in person with my beloved EOS GIO board and real actual tangible lights. but I can't light the starship discovery in person. so.

I'm pretty happy with how it came out. If even one singular person asks I'll post some of my other renderings/models I've lit for fun (i don't have many pics of the ones ive done. like. professionally lol)

no, I was not productive in my second to last drafting class of the semester, why do you ask?

[waateey]

This is how I look opening up vectorworks everyday trying not to lose my sanity before the end of the semester.

Sometimes it is just- so frustrating

I’m so fucking hyped. Got myself the bbc channel on amazon prime, so now I can finally rewatch all the Doctor Who seasons 🥰😭

Also I went to my project area again to write down some more information about it and now I’m going to visualize it all in Vectorworks and later render in photoshop. The analysis part of my master’s thesis is slowly finally coming to an end.
