ACT Lighting MA Lighting: grandMA 3D MA Lighting Product grandMA 3D grandMA 3D is a free state of the art visualization program for PC’s running Windows 2000 or X/P. Connection to any grandMA console is via Ethernet and allows lighting designers and console operators to visualize their programming in a highly realistic virtual environment. GrandMA 3D uses Direct X technology from the computer gaming industry and requires no external devices, such as dongles or interfaces. Singer Manuals. Since the grandMA 3D acts as an integral part of a grandMA console, information only has to be input once as opposed to twice as with other visualization systems. Once fixtures are specified in the console they automatically appear on the grandMA 3D software ready to be positioned in the virtual environment. This 3D positional information is then stored in the grandMA console show file. The 3 dimensional environments can be built inside of the grandMA 3D software and any bitmap file can be placed on any surface allowing for the complete customization of the virtual environment.
GrandMA 3D also connects directly to the free grandMA Offline software, either on the same PC or another PC on the same network. This means that, completely free of charge, users can preprogram their shows at home, hotel room or in transit on their personal computer and then upload their show data via floppy disk or directly via Ethernet to any grandMA console. Animation files can be created directly in the grandMA 3D software that will show camera movements and series of cues from the grandMA console. These can then be used as client presentations. The complete offline creation of show lighting, for free!
Open topic as PDF Version 3.3 3D Modeling and Import MA 3D is created for the visualization of three-dimensional stage layouts to be utilized together with lighting control desks of MA. It comes with a library of common types of light fixtures e.g., par cans, moving mirror, moving heads and LED fixtures. With this large number of different fixtures, it is not possible to cover all models. MA 3D offers the opportunity to import 3D models created via a 3D CAD program. Most of the 3D CAD programs offer the export into the.3ds format. Hint: This tutorial requires the knowledge of handling a 3D construction program. 3D models are created with 3D design programs such as ‘Cinema 4D’, 3Ds Max, etc.

After creation, the model is imported in.3ds format via the MA 3D import function. The import tool can be found using the menu entry: ‘File – Import – Import 3D Model’. Single files as well as complete directories can be imported.
It is possible to apply parameters to objects inside a 3D model. These parameters influence the behavior of the object within MA 3D. The parameters are defined using the name of the object.
They are organized in a hierarchic order. A parameter block begins with '_X'. The sub-parameter follows without separators, e.g., 'Test_XAP' identifies the object as an axis of the pan movement. For more information see and.
Import 3D Model dialog The imported model can be viewed in the ‘Model Test Area’ window that can be operated similarly to the 3D ‘Stage View’. Properties such as ‘Name’, ‘Category’, etc. Can also be edited. After the editing, the model can be stored in the media database and is ready to be used in MA 3D.
