Realtime 3d simulation

Realtime 3D simulation

Explore your design in real time by navigating around inside d3’s unique stage simulator. Drop video content onto the stage and immediately view it in 3D from different angles and positions. Create camera fly-throughs, render your simulation to movies and send them to your client, and to the rest of your team members around the world.

Raise client confidence with pixel-perfect simulations, avoid creative and technical mistakes early, and boost the overall result to new levels.

Create video screens

Import 3d models of any complex-shaped LED or projection screen or create them directly inside d3. Set resolutions, size, position, transparency and even simulate the shape and glow of individual pixels by applying pixel masks. Easily animate screen positions using d3’s unique mapping features and output all the content by configuring the outputs.

Simulate props

Import three-dimensional video screens, projection surfaces, venue models and scenic props. Individually choose their color, rendering styles and applied textures.

Simulate projectors

Create virtual projectors in your d3 stage, setting lens throw ratio, resolution, lens shift, position and orientation to plan your projector placement. Apply large-format video content (up to 8K pixels wide) directly to the projection surface without worrying about how many projectors you will have, or where they will be. When you get on site, match the virtual projectors to the real ones, and d3 will figure out what to send to the projectors to make everything appear in the right place.

Create DMX screens

Apply content as on any other video screen but choose your pixels to be DMX based instead. Choose DMX pixels to be standard, RGB, RGBW or monochromatic and choose from a range of different ways to automatically assign DMX channels to them.

DMX lights

Control and visualise moving heads, architectural fixtures, strobes or any other DMX-based product in your show. Just type in the DMX personality and map content as any other sceeen.
