PYWARE 3D Interactive (Version 6)
Description
 

For nearly 30 years Pygraphics has continued to provide the music educator with unique and innovative programs. High schools, colleges and universities as well as drum corps worldwide depend on 3D for their designing needs. 3D offers the most highly advanced design features as well as the interactive Performer's Practice Tools, the software hundreds of marching ensembles depend on to get their show on the field as quickly as possible.

Pyware is the recognized leader of drill design software worldwide. 3D has not only been a staple item for High School and College Bands, but it has been used in special events such as Super Bowl half time shows, the Olympics Opening and Closing Ceremonies, over 90% of all college bowl games, major parades, movies such as "Drumline," and even on Broadway. In 2010, we entered the video game world thanks to the wonderful folks at EA Sports. Look for halftime performances in EA Sports NCAA Football 10.

"Pyware 3D was an essential tool for me while writing the 2008 show for the Phantom Regiment Drum and Bugle Corps. Pyware offers great flexibility and ease to drill writing, and has enhanced the creative process with its 3D application. Pyware is a must have for everyone from the novice drill writer to the experienced professional."

New for version 6

  • New Fixed Interval Float Tool: This new tool allows you to float a transition while taking curved pathways. The Fixed Interval Float Tool also has an option to lock intervals, so performers that are transitioning on a curved pathway will maintain the same distance between themselves throughout the maneuver.

  • Print, Import & Export Production Sheet: The Popular 3D Production Sheet has been improved to help you communicate your show ideas quicker and easier than before! Now you can print and export your Production Sheet to ship out for approval, or import your production sheet from your favorite spreadsheet application! Also included with the Production Sheet are two additional Notes columns, and the Production Sheet will now stay hidden when in a tool.
  • Virtual Clinic: It’s back! The new and improved Virtual Clinic is back to make sure the transition from computer screen to football field goes as smoothly as possible.
