Sean,
Wow! I have found the audacity of SOME people regarding this amazing news to be embarassing.   <md..
You may have seen the various posts I have made in yours' and Matt defence.  Hang in there, dude!  If you read thru the BS, there are many of us that love and appreciated the work BOTH of you have done!  Where is the world coming to that people bi*ch about a free damn lunch!

Work is of course appreciated, but as someone who spends a lot of time working voluntarily on open source projects, some of them quite large, certain community standards have to be observed. This means respecting the license chosen by the original copyright holder - which wasn't done.  Sean has added this now (You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login), so that is cool.

Open source != free lunch/public domain, I'm sorry - equating those is just ignorant of the facts. I don't expect the users on this forum to understand the complexities of open software development - but don't speak authoritatively about which you are not informed.

There is also a less formal "credit where credit is due" meritocracy in open source.  There was a whole lot of "I" in the 3.0 announcement, and not one single "we". Where as if you look at the code in the "nutcracker" 3 repository it is 99% written by Matt. Sure the algorithms are ported from Sean's version, but the implementation is original, and often improved over Sean's PHP work. As a fellow developer, I just was enquiring as to Matt's participation in this release, as it did not appear as a joint announcement.

I'm not out to accuse Sean of being evil - anyone who chooses to release their stuff as open source gets a big pat on the back from me, and the effort spent on not just writing the software, but supporting it is admirable. But these melodramatic responses to my request for clarification are a tad off-base.

Regards,

Hello all,

As many of you know I have been working on my own custom LSP export tool.

I've just skimmed the code - and just want to say hooray for more Python in scene. Thanks for putting this together!

I've got several lighting related projects in Python - just pushed up a E1.31 lib: You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login

[SOLD]

I have not had time to build out the 12 SS controllers and 1 hub that I had purchased in the first coop.

Time to sell - this is all the gear still packaged as it came to me from the coop in summer 2011

Hoping to come close to break even

Never got the replacement resistor that was noted here:

Not long same as other LOR imports. I have version 2.0.11271.743 on a 5 year old Dell E6500 Laptop with Core 2 Duo processor

When i loaded the 20 mbyte file in LOR it took 8 seconds

egads - 1 model, 10 seconds = 20 MB

now I deal with multi-gig video files all the time, but still, these are ultimately going to be huge data files when you are talking about a whole show.

Nutcracker is looking solid.

After having seen projects like Prancer and Olive Studio and the Xlights sequencer project come and go - is there any chance you would make this open source?

The idea of generating effects is certainly the way to go, I started something like this myself, and may pick it up again sometime.  It actually did the generation out to DMX in realtime based on models and generators.

Are you doing the generation in PHP, or just using PHP for the front-end and calling into something else?

Sounds like the hardware side wouldn't be hard for this crowd.
