Martin ShowDesigner (MSD) is a unique software tool which allows LD’s to develop lighting designs in vivid 3-D computer graphics for advanced lighting simulation.

Show programmers will need to spend less time `on location´ as the ShowDesigner provides a program which contains all the data on photometric, size, weight, gobos, positioning, colors, zoom settings, intensity functions, etc. It supports generic fixtures as well as automated fixtures and it is possible to create user customizable libraries. The MSD can easily (via DMX interface) be connected to any DMX controller or DMX fixture

The system eliminates the time consuming task of producing scale models and detailed drawings. The set and lighting design can be simulated easily and extremely realistically due to the advanced rendering capabilities of the program.

Lighting designers can make positional and effect alterations quickly and easily, and view them immediately on screen. Rental companies can benefit by presenting and handling their projects with a realistic 3D visualization (and save time and money on production budgets!). Sales people can use the unique system to assist in presenting and selling lighting fixtures. And in the architectural field, ShowDesigner can be used to realistically demonstrate the enhancing effects of lighting on buildings or structures.

Set your cues and visualize your show, see the beams shining or view real time solid/textures. For high quality presentational purposes, create a realistic rendering using reflection, transparency, lighting, shadow and smoke (speed depends on the complexity of your design.) Improve on communication. No more trying to explain to production people what your ideas are, just show them!
