New LED light sources and LED flare capability offer better representation in Shaded Views, LED Fixtures and LED Walls not only look better, but these new models allow for better efficiency and performance when dealing with all LEDs.
With R24, visualisation is brought to yet a higher level, making it so real that users don’t need to interrupt the creative process and go offline to render. R23 delivered enhanced footprint qualities of the beams with new footprints, accurate shadows, an optional hot spot display, and a new video-in-beam feature to display video content for digital lighting fixtures. In R22, wysiwyg introduced new enhanced beam simulation with soft-edge beams, accurate beam colour-mixing, lens flares, and animated smoke. The “trilogy” of the most recent three releases of wysiwyg have been deliberate, so that users could benefit immediately from improvements while the next release was in process. Simply, it’s more economic and these days that counts for a lot.
(There are other versions available at all price ranges that may better suit your need, visit for more information.) With wysiwyg, you don’t need two or more pieces of software to get the job done. Wysiwyg Design gives users all the tools they need to compete at $2499 – and all in one piece of software, saving you time and money. Quite amazing!” Martin Kuhn, Lighting Design – Berlin, Germany As you might have guessed, the better one is NOT the render. “…Same view, one is an “export to image file”, the other is a render with all options. Indeed, a lot of work has taken place “behind the scenes” to increase its speed, especially for the new visualisation. In addition to the new features and visualisation, its developmental accomplishments have not sacrificed wysiwyg’s robustness or performance. Its new visualisation raises the standard for the industry. R24 is built on the significant advances made in R22 + R23. With wysiwyg’s proprietary library of over 20,000 lights, gobos, trusses, etc., there is no “cheating” needed so Shaded View and Renderings are replicable on stage, in the venue, on the set or where ever – really virtually real. R24 delivers the actual results as visualized for the project – as opposed to a mock-up image not based on industry technology. What users will see in Shaded View visualisation is exactly what they can get on the set, in the venue or on the exterior of a building.
wysiwyg R24, with release due July 09 and download available around the end of the month, pre-visualisations and renders are “really virtually real”, according to the company.
CAST Software has announced the third and final instalment in the latest wysiwyg trilogy.
