Harman's Martin Professional Announces the Immediate Availability of the ShowDesigner 6 Harman's Martin Professional and Lighthouse Holland announce the launch of the Martin ShowDesigner 6 (MSD), a real-time 3D visualizer with a newly designed 3-D engine to provide photorealistic rendering in real-time using the latest DirectX technology. The MSD 6's timeline control allows users to create complex presentations including lighting, video, animated scenery, camera motion, and animated smoke effects. The user interface has been completely redesigned with a modern look, offering a rapid workflow to quickly drag and drop fixtures, objects, and textures as well as instant access to any object's properties. MSD 6 is Vectorworks-friendly and through a Windows-based plug-in, Vectorworks files can be exported and imported into MSD 6. The intelligent system learns from previous conversions to choose the right MSD fixture type to replace Vectorworks fixtures. MSD 6 also comes with its own 3-D modeling app to quickly build objects and materials or import DXF and native SketchUp formats along with all textures and UV maps. MSD 6 is available in two versions: MSD 6 Pro and MSD 6 Lite. Whilst the Pro version has every possible feature to pre-visualize lighting and video in 3-D, integrate moving scenery, create video animation and paper presentation, the MSD 6 Lite version offers essential features to do 3-D pre-visualization, the company says. MSD 6 Pro and MSD Lite are available as a one-year plan and a five-year plan with a 20% savings. Current MSD 5 users with a One-Key and active membership are eligible for upgrade to MSD 6 with no extra charge. Visit martinshowdesigner.com for more information.
