Hi, guys!
Here's the situation. I work for a venue that has quite a few volunteer techs, and heavy demands on the main space. While I can do training every once in a while in the main space, I wanted to set something up the techs would feel more comfortable experimenting on, pushing the envelope on, going horribly wrong, and actually learning!
So, I decided to set up a previs suite. Right now we're running an GrandMA lite as our console, so the obvious choice for Vis was GrandMA 3D. I can sync with an offline editor for housekeeping, and integrate the very same console for training purposes. So far, so good. GrandMA3D is a little esoteric, but works for me for now.
Right now I'm using WYSIWYG report for my paperwork, and I'd love to find a way to export the data from WYG into MA3D for previs directly instead of having to update two systems every time we hang new fixtures.
Obviously, there is the option of using WYSIWYG Perform and syncing it to the GrandMA, but I haven't heard feedback from anyone who's got this working well. Previs where you build a tour, refine it, do it, and scrap it seems to be common, but previs as a training tool doesn't seem to be as widely accepted.
If anyone's found a way to convert data or built a better mousetrap, please let me know and I'd be forever grateful.
