Support for 3d models of the fixtures would be nice.

The choice of format would be interesting. Especially when we want to identify the moving parts of a fixture for previews.
Haven't really looked into it yet, but maybe some data can be imported from GDTF?

Most design tools can export to .obj

Also consider lighting parameters - beam widths, soft edge definition, non-circular beams, gobos, luminance to allow visualizers to use the data

The prefered web format is glTF and there is wide support for importers and exporters, including in QT. It means that you can have a visualiser on the project page.

There's a choice to embed the whole asset as base64 into the fixture file or have it as a resource (in binary or components).

The difficulty will be defining a standard schema for mount points, pivots and lights source position. I can try to mock up a fixture reader with a glTF web renderer in a couple of weeks.
