Canadian-based software and hardware developer, Cast Software has developed an end-to-end design and perform tool called wysiwyg.
Wysiwyg Design Suite has been created specifically for production professionals wanting to use an all-inclusive production design tool. It offers a customised 3D CAD application with complete equipment libraries, realtime lighting design simulation, rendering engines and an integrated paperwork database.
Wysiwyg Design allows users to explore their designs in a virtual environment and use the available tools to create lighting concepts and proposals.
Wysiwyg Perform is an all inclusive end-to-end solution that offers an additional simulation component. Console, media server or compatible offline editor can communicate via protocols such as DMX, EDMX, Art-net, sACN, CITP, Motion Control Universes, Pangolin Laser System, Sollinger Laser Animation, StrandShowNet or SandNet.
These can be connected to the computer and wysiwyg Perform, which will simulate the exact effect of the console or editor’s output in realtime.
For lighting designers looking to switch to wysiwyg lighting design and previsualisation software for special projects, Cast Group has introduced wysiwyg Design and Perform three and six months leases.
Igor Silva, marketing director at Cast Software said: “Many of our customers would like to use wysiwyg on a project basis. A three or six months lease may better suit their project budgets. The lease option can even be recurring or not so it can be used on demand.”
