    Thank you for always providing the best service!

     

    I am unable to download this file.
    Is there any way to get it?

    Our company is planning a drone and fireworks show.

    And we are considering drone show software.

    Will you be able to import software other than Verge Aero in the future?

    Hello, yes, the “VVIZ” file format as an open interchange file format for drone shows, which Finale 3D can import.

     

    As of today, two drone fleet companies support the VVIZ format: Verge Aero, and Drone Show Software (DSS).  If you buy drone design software from another company, please tell them that you would like them to export the VVIZ format so that you can import the shows into Finale 3D to design fireworks along with them.  The specifications for the file format are here: https://finale3d.com/documentation/vviz-file-format/.

     

    We are happy to assist drone companies to export this format or to test their exporters.  Feel free to introduce them to me personally, will@finale3d.com.

    Also: I just modified the documentation pages with the links you mentioned so when you click on those VVIZ links, the files will download instead of opening up in a browser page.

    We are creating drone animations using Blender at our company. Recently, we transitioned from Drone Show Software (DSS) to our own proprietary drone control system.

    As a result, we are no longer able to export to the VVIZ format.

    Is it possible to export VVIZ files directly from Blender to the VVIZ format? Or is there another recommended method to achieve this?

    Hi OKUDA YOHEI, great question!

     

    Blender does not have a built-in option for exporting a drone animation to the VVIZ file format. I’m also not aware of a Blender plugin that is publicly available for exporting to VVIZ.

     

    However, there are some companies who have developed their own internal Blender VVIZ export capabilities. This means that it is possible, and you could hire a programmer to develop this capability for your company. For a skilled programmer, I don’t think is a very difficult or time-consuming project. The reason I don’t think it’s very complicated is because I have seen some companies develop VVIZ export in as little as one or two days!

     

    Below is a link to the specifications for the VVIZ file format. If you hire a programmer to develop Blender VVIZ export for you, we are happy to answer questions and assist in any way that we can.
