Undo and Redo for most functions in the show editor (watch video).įWsim Creative Edition now allows to put cues on arbitrary heights, and rotate your fireworks in 3D - features previously only available in the Pro edition.More capabilities in FWsim Creative Edition Less stuttering when you have lots of effects.New option under “Preferences” to make the timing very precise - use this if you prefer a more precise and less realistic simulation.If a star burns out while it still has considerable speed, the crossette or crackling will continue moving into the same direction.When you chain effects together, only the first cue of each chain will receive a channel on the firing system. To set this up, click a cue and press CTRL+D, then click the cue you want to connect to. The size of comments in the timeline can be changed.Īlternatively, select two or more cues and press CTRL+D to chain them all together.Feature to insert empty cues while playing back the music - by using the hotkey CTRL+G.Channel information is now displayed as a small red box on top of the cues.Firing systems: RFRemotech (new), Pyrodigy (new), PyroIgnitionControl (improved).“Select all Cues” feature in Show menu - you can use this, for example, to quickly delete all cues from the show and start again.“Insert show”: Functionality moved to menu bar.If you have a not very powerful computer, you will hardly notice any change in speed, but you will still have many more features.Plus, the functionality now inserts all the individual cues from the other show. If instead you have to pay it, I suggest you stop for a few seconds and think if it is really worth it. If you have the possibility to have it for free, the answer is yes, there are only more good things and there are no big problems. So someone might ask me if it is worth using FWsim 3, the answer is it depends.
#Fwsim cake software
My homemade valutations for this software are as follows: In addition, I suggest adding a search bar also in the online fireworks database, in order to make the window more pleasant to use. The ability to save shows on the net would also be a good idea.Ī cloud-oriented approach is what FWsim would need, in my opinion.įWsim’s effects don’t take up as much storage space, so I think this cloud solution is difficult but not impossible!
In this way, the effects would always remain available, and changing computers, once authenticated in FWsim with a simple account, all their effects would be available immediately. What I would like most would be to be able to synchronize the effects in a database in the cloud, without having to back up your effects every time on a harddisk if you intend to change the device. It is possible to preview the frame of the area that will be visible in the video, and this is also a feature that I really appreciated. It is possible to create fireworks using Paint, although I believe this feature should still be improved! I noticed that also the fireworks editor has had several changes with new features, now it is possible to create perfect spheres, adjusting the variation of the position of the star. The effects selection window opens much faster and now you can finally search for fireworks by their name! Those with many effects will no longer have to scroll through the list of fireworks to find the desired article. You can also attach sequences of consecutive fireworks to the timeline, without doing “ctrl + c, ctrl + v”, but simply by flagging an option in the effects window selection. The timeline has been improved a lot, it is now easier to arrange the fireworks in a more precise way.
It would be nice if there was the possibility to choose the color of the theme of FWsim, it could be an idea! The design of the icons and menus has also been updated, and is now more appealing. I liked the new, more minimal, more uniform design. The first thing I noticed after installing version 3, is the speed that has significantly increased on my computers, with the exception of the first start which can sometimes be a little slower. This new version has brought so many new features that make FWsim more complete and useful.
