THE WORKSHOP
Below are some images of plug-ins being worked on. Some of these might get released one day. Some might never get released. If there are any you are particularly interested in, let us know on the Support page. More will be added to this page soon, so keep checking back.
Lighting Stand
A collection of stands used in lighting/grip. Options for type of stand, height, wheels, and some arms.
Lighting Stand LARGE
Similar to above, a collection of larger stands used in lighting/grip. Options for type of stand, height, and some arms.
CRANE TRUCK
This plug-in draws a large crane truck for lifting large elements. The model is based off of a Tadano AC 5.220L-1 crane. I have old code for a Liebherr LTM 1220-5.2 crane I might incorporate. This plug-in has controls for arm angle, arm extension and rotation, jib extensions, jib angle, and hook height. The 2D shows the radius of the hook at the current location, and the estimated max radius based on selected options.
GRIP FRAME
Grip Frame is a simple plug-in for creating different types of frames used by grips in film/tv. Gel frames, diffusion frames, bounces, blacks, floppies, etc. Numerous size options for small frames. The small frames have rigging hardware for placing on stands. There are also large frame settings for 8’-30’ size frames with several size options. All the options can use object colors or textures, and have control over angle and roll. As of now, this plug-in is not hybrid, as the angles are difficult to replicate in 2D. Might add hybrid for straight rolls.
LightBOX
Lightbox builds diffused soft boxes used frequently in film and television lighting. The boxes are customizable for size, structure type (square or round tubing, flat truss, 12” or 20.5” truss with either truss or pipe bottoms, and SpeedGrid), diffusion, skirts, control grids, and whether the box has a top or not. Textures can be applied to all of the parts through either classes or through the menus. Basic rigging is also available (this will hopefully be improved).
HANGPOINT SIMPLE
Similar to the built-in hoist tool, but without all the fluff. No symbols. No classes. No Braceworks. No complex records. Just some very basic hybrid hang points. Options for pipe, truss, or just chain. Pipes have options for ropes, clamps, and chains to spansets. Trusses are all chains to spansets. Trusses have type and size options with square, triangle and flat for types, and 12”, 16”, 20.5” and 30” for size. Points with chains can add simple motors top or bottom. Several detail settings from just a line to more detailed 3D. Several 2D shapes for plan views with size and color options. Plans to add labels.
