Previews of Stardraw Lighting 3D

The much-anticipated update to Stardraw Professional will be previewed at international trade shows in the coming month.

 

Stardraw Professional is the popular 2D & 3D application for lighting, staging and trussing systems.  First introduced in 1998, it has been hailed as the fastest way to design and visualise lighting systems.  Using an all-new engine Stardraw Lighting 3D is set to take Stardraw Professional's crown on its launch later in 2003; principle considerations in the design of the new application have been speed of rendering and ease of use - prospective users will be able to see for themselves the amazing advancements in Stardraw's software technology at Pro Light and Sound, Germany, and NSCA, Dallas, Tx in March.

 

Stardraw Lighting 3D will offer real-time 3D rendering with lighting, shadows, gobos, rotating gobos, light beams and much more.  Rendering speeds are comparable to those seen in the latest generation of first-person computer games, in other words you can create your design and move around within it, fully rendered at multiple frames per second.

 

Stardraw Lighting 3D is due for release Q3 2003.
