Viz Artist
Version 3.11.0 | Published January 22, 2018 ©
On Air Mode
The On Air interface can vary, depending on the software and hardware configuration used. In Viz Artist, designers can click the On Air button on the main menu to switch Viz Artist from a modeling tool to a render engine. The application will then wait for control commands. However, scene animations can also be rendered by the use of Control Buttons (top-left corner).
The top left of the On Air screen shows a set of Control Buttons, and the Director Control Panel and Performance Editor buttons. All License Information is shown at the top right of the screen.
Depending on the software and hardware settings, additional buttons and information is available. For example in design mode, the scene will be shown in an output window (lower right).
All script events that are added to a Scene or to single Containers will be executed in On Air mode. To learn more about scripting see Scripting and .
Tip: To prevent unexpected data loss when switching to On Air mode, Viz Artist automatically creates a backup of the active scene with the extension _onair_backup. If for example the scene is called ABC, the created backup will be called ABC_onair_backup.
