ShowDesigner

The design program works in a full 3D environment. Here, different objects and fixtures combine to form a stage, building or whatever environment is desired.

It is possible to work in real time wire frame or solid mode. Set and lighting design can be simulated easily and extremely realistically due to the MSD's advanced rendering capabilities.

The MSD calculates the luminous intensity of any surface and takes into account the surface of any object in terms of color, refraction, absorption, reflectance and transparency.

The ambient light level can be adjusted at any level. Renderings can be saved in bitmap or JPEG format and displayed via any standard Windows picture viewer.

 

3D Visualizer

A very useful tool for pre-programming of any kind of show. Any DMX controller can be connected via a DMX interface for easy offline programming.

An interface for laptop users is also available. In 3D Visualizer, very precise pre-programming is possible.

It can display most fixture functions such as movement (even the head of a moving head will move accordingly), intensity, fixed colors, CMY color mixing, gobos, framing, iris and more.

Camera positions and angles can be easily changed on the fly, making it fast to study a light show from different viewing positions.

The show can be recorded in real time and saved as a video. It is then possible to view a pre-programmed show using any standard Windows video viewer

 

Model

A handy 3D CAD program for creating or modifying objects. Objects can be built from scratch using different primitives like cubes, pyramids, toroids, etc., or they can be a modification of an already existing object from the library. The object library contains images of chairs, stage elements, people, trussing of various manufacturers, etc. It is also possible to import 3D DXF files and SketchUp files.

 

Paper

Modern productions require a plethora of paperwork – the MyShowDesigner makes this easy to generate using the Paper Module.

This tool can be used to create plans with views in any scale and from any angle.

Add in a key, fixture lists, information blocks and even pictures. It also creates easy to use and edit fixture and patching lists.

 

 

Fast NetRender Client & Server (Pro version Only)

MyShowDesigner's ability to create a high quality rendering of your show is a very powerful tool.

However it does take a considerable amount of computer power to achieve and can take quite some time too.

The Fast NetRender system is there to speed up this process. It utilizes the power of other computers, connected to your own, via a network to speed up the rendering process.

 

 

Tools

 

Scene Compactor

This utility can be used to clean up a scene from unused objects, fixture, cues, and material.

 

Manage License

This tool allows you to manage the MSD license(s) on attached WIBU CodeMeter keys.
