::VISUAL SHOW DIRECTOR FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
                
If you can't find a valid answer to your questions here, please send us your inquiries by email.
We will update this page with all the users common questions

 


 What are the minimum and optimal system requirements? Is the graphic different if my machine is slow? TOP

The graphic by itself is not affected by the computer properties. What is affected is the rendering speed at runtime. In other words, the display, in slower machines, can be slower and not as smooth. We recommend a machine with Microdoft XP and at least 1.7ghz CPU and 256MB (512 or more recommended) of RAM with a dedicated video card (Nvidia or ATI) with at least 64MB (128MB recommended) of dedicated RAM.

Microsoft VISTA is supported. See Installation Instructions


 Does the software come with an effects library with the basic effects such as peonies, chrysantemums etc ? TOP
Yes, the software comes with a basic library with the most common effects. Effects design service is available on request..


 Does the software have the ability to show cakes ? TOP
Yes, cakes can be programmed in FX Generator quite easily and then they can adapt to any duration from the Show Director scripting interface.


 During a presentation, I've seen this software simulate wind speed and direction. Is this right ? TOP
Yes, on user request, the software simulates wind from a certain direction (in degrees) and with a given speed (in Km/h).


 Do you have a Demo Version ? TOP
We have a demo recording that you can watch that explains basically how the software works and its features. This is not a working demo version that you can try out, but it allows you to see the basic set up and features. You can also download the VISUAL SDHOW DIRECTOR PLAYER to se the re4al quality of the simulations.


 Do I need formation ? TOP

We recommend you to schedule a Training Seminar that will guarantee that you are a using the software in no more than 4 days of training.
The Visual Show Director seminars offer the opportunity to accelerate the learning process that could otherwise be gained through time consuming experience.
Group sessions will be organized based on user interest and availability. Contact Us.
There is a complete Step-by Step Tutorial with the software and also a Help file. You will need to reserve the time to learn the software, but the guide is very complete.

Software is shipped upon payment receipt. This Software began shipment in October 2006


 Will all my existing SD 5.0.5 files save and translate directly to the 5.1 or 5.2? TOP
Old Files and projects are automatically imported in the new software.
The software automatically creates backup copies in the old file format. It is also possible to script in 5.2 and export to 5.0 for firing operations


 Can I use 5.1 or 5.2 without the visual program in order to continue scripting the old way while I learn 5.1/5.2? TOP
Of course. The software main interface has not been changed exactly for this reason. To minimize the learning curve, all the commands you are used to are in their usual place.


 How many effects are in the Library that come with the 5.1/5.2? TOP
The base library contains a good quantity of superb common effects so you can start scripting right away. We will release periodic upgrades to the base library that will be available on the website for users download.
