R35 results from intensive beta testing by a range of users who report: “It’s always a real pleasure to discover a new version of wysiwyg and R35 is a big step in its development. We were waiting for new functions including Focus in Live and Fixture Attribute Layout template. Another novelty that I love is the fixtures and objects highlighting during Quick Tools. That is a small point, but it really simplifies our work! We’re delighted that in R35 “Mirroring” has returned which keeps aficionados of symmetry such as myself very happy. There are also many enhancements to existing features, and a very important improvement of speed in LIVE Mode – it seems my computer seems to have had a large dose of vitamins! I am very impressed by this new release that must be used without moderation!” said Stéphane Mocret, Lighting Designer, Very Light France
