Product catalog summary

Overview: The document provides a detailed description of the grandMA 3D software by MA Lighting International GmbH, designed for real-time 3D visualization of lighting functions and effects. It is a powerful tool for visualizing and designing three-dimensional stage layouts.

Key Features:

Real-time 3D visualization of luminaire functions and effects.
Bi-directional data exchange with grandMA2 consoles using the same setups.
Live and blind programming modes with preview capabilities.
Follow mode for live positioning of fixtures from grandMA 3D to the console.
Multiple cameras available for independent positioning during visualization.
Pre-programming of entire shows with grandMA2 onPC and grandMA 3D.
Realistic reproduction of shadows and color beams in real-time.
Free of charge availability of grandMA 3D software.

Functionality: The software allows straightforward design and setup of custom stage or scenery layouts using 2D drawing facilities and a library of basic graphical elements. It supports multiple windows in 2D or 3D view with real-time updates. Stage elements can be positioned and rotated in x/y/z directions, with customizable textures from a built-in library or imported files.

Integration: Position and rotation parameters of objects and cameras can be controlled via DMX, and equipment can be moved freely in 3D space via the connected grandMA2 console. The 3D environment is stored in the same showfile in the grandMA2 system, ensuring portability across different locations and equipment types.

Technical Requirements: The grandMA 3D application runs on powerful Windows® PCs and communicates with the grandMA2 console via a network.
