This might be a feature request as I can’t see if there is a way to do this in the docs. Is it possible to add 3d models to the visualiser? I’m currently designing a set build in unity to allow for visualising it in vr headsets and would love to copy it in Liberation.
I can just move the lasers to the correct locations to simulate the shipping containers that they will be sat on, but it would be handy for sightlines to see what it will look at from where the audience can actually be.
Hey @Solexious !
It’s funny you should ask actually because there is an undocumented unsupported* experimental** feature that adds 3D models into the 3D visualiser that was created just for @abbycodestudio’s dragonfly wings project for Arcadia at Glastonbury. You can see it in this picture :
It seems to work OK but 3D models can be extremely varied in quality, often broken UVs, normals etc, but feel free to try it out. In the working folder add a 3dModels folder inside ofxLaser. And then put the model file in there. Restart liberation and it should appear. Settings in the 3D visualiser will appear so you can move, resize and rotate it, (and colour it I think?)
It uses assimp under the hood so should support whatever file formats that supports. It probably won’t get saved with the projects so expect lots of chaotic behaviour. Oh also, it’s only on MacOS.
Oh also it won’t stop laser beams so you can’t project onto the models, it’s just for a guide.
Good luck! And please don’t get in touch if you have trouble with it

* Seriously it’s unsupported so don’t come to me when it doesn’t work lol
** I mean it, I’m not even joking! It probably won’t work right!
Thanks for letting that slip @seb!
Ooooh, I did wonder if that was the case, caught a glimpse of what I thought was just that in an instagram reel!
Will just ask one question, should this work* in the current stable build, or is that a beta 1.0.0 thing?
*and I won’t say anything if it doesn’t!
I added it in 1.0.0 from memory.
