EVT3D
Event lighting

Event lighting design you can show the client.

EVT3D lets you light the event in the same 3D design as the stage and the room. Hang fixtures on truss, wash the drape and walls, and switch between Looks so the client sees the walk-in, the keynote and the reveal before anyone focuses a light.

Free plan, no credit card. Nothing to install.

Fixtures and beams

  • Spot, point, area and directional lights with live shadows.
  • The Light Shop builds a fixture from an archetype such as a moving head, with a real beam at its lens, ready to drop onto a truss.
  • A focus tool aims each fixture at the spot you want the pool to land.

Washes on scenery

Paint uplight and downlight pools onto drape, walls, tension fabric and cycs — cans washing up from the floor or a batten washing down from the top — with control over color, spread and falloff.

Truss and rigging

Lay straight truss with two clicks or drop circle truss from a center and radius, then add corner blocks and chain hoists in Rigging Mode, so the overhead plan is drawn deliberately instead of eyeballed later.

Looks for every moment

A Look saves the state of the scene, lighting included. Build one for walk-in, one for the keynote and one for the awards, and flip between them in the studio or in the client's share link.

Where it sits next to lighting software

Lighting previsualization tools such as WYSIWYG and Capture connect to consoles for programming. EVT3D doesn't do DMX or programming. It shows lighting intent in the full event design, for the conversation that comes before the plot.

Questions we get

Can I preview event lighting in 3D without a console?

Yes. Lights, washes and Looks are set in the browser. There is no console or DMX connection; EVT3D shows the design intent.

Does EVT3D include truss and chain hoists?

Yes. Straight and circle truss, corner blocks and chain hoists, laid out in a dedicated Rigging Mode.

Can the client switch lighting states?

Yes. Looks you save appear in the share link, so the client can flip between moments of the show.
