MA Lighting’s ‘free’ visualiser and pre-programming studio – the PC software grandMA 3D – is
a unique user interface for the visualisation as well as the design of three-dimensional stage
layouts in conjunction with any grandMA2/grandMA console or grandMA onPC.
grandMA 3D allows a straight forward design and set up of any custom stage or scenery layout
with its 2D drawing facilities and a library of basic graphical elements. Multiple windows both
in 2D or 3D view with any camera angle can be opened at the same time and will be updated
live. All the stage elements can be positioned in x/y/z directions and can also be rotated around
the various axes. Custom textures for the surface of these elements can be imported from any
bitmap le or may be chosen from the built in library. Also video les in AVI format can be used
as a texture and be controlled from any grandMA console. Via DMX controlled position and
rotational parameters for objects and cameras within 3D, any stage equipment can be moved
within the scenery by the connected grandMA.
The grandMA 3D application runs as an independent station on an external PC in any grandMA
multi-user network.
Most of the functions of the installed lights are remotely controlled by grandMA and can be
programmed in live and blind. The follow mode can be used in grandMA 3D or in the grandMA
stage view, a built in wireframe visualiser. This can save a lot of time and work within the pre-
programming of complex shows or even when using moving lights as real follow spots.
With grandMA 3D MA Lighting sets a new standard in pre-programming and visualisation and
adds another unmatched advantage to its complete system solutions. The software automatically
takes over all relevant showle information from the setup and displays what is needed. Even
better the 3D environment is stored in the same showle. It does not matter where you are
and what type of console you are using or what equipment is there – you always have the full
showle with you!
