I have been running software with QSpot 150's and the simulator will not update the gobo's. It will change colors and Strobe, but not the gobo's. Is it something I am doing, or a problem in the program on my computer. Mush help needed !!! I am new to the program only been running it for 8 months. :?:

i have this problem as well since i updated the software.

its just a coloured circle, i think it is the eco mode at the bottom of the 3d software i need 2 change it 2 demo mode but i cant seem to be able to do that, so ive been emailing people on youtube etc who have this software for help.

I cannot find a Q-Spot 150 fixture, the nearest I can find is the Chauvet Q-Spot 152. In that it only has the gobos defined as open then gobo 1, gobo 2, gobo 3 and so on, they do change but as it's only a number that changes maybe you just do not notice it.

Not every fixture has properly defined gobos, I have asked about how to create them but never got a reply.

As long as it works properly on the real fixture live then that is the most important part.

Personally I think the Daslight product with it's 3D Visualiser is very good value for money. Have a look how much other systems cost and with them you do not get a visualiser. To by one for them costs thousands of pounds for WYSIWYG or Capture, if they are supported.

i downloaded the latest version which doesnt show the GOBOS on any lights. But on an older version of DVC2/3D it did for examples it showed thr GOBOS on the dynamos but not any more. Why is this?

I need to see the GOBOS on 3D because for part of my work exp. project i need to do a light show for a TV program but cannot see it in live action until i go 2 the TV studios. when i only have 10minutes to edit which wont be long enough

Unless you can get the fixture from an earlier version of the ssl library or Daslight tell us how to create gobos for fixtures then you are stuck I am afraid.
