Description

Never draw a lighting setup on a scrap of paper again.

Lighting Designer is a quick and intuitive way to create overhead lighting plots for film, theater, television, concerts, and anything else you can light. The wide selection of equipment and simple yet powerful interface makes it easier than ever to illustrate and communicate your lighting setups, from most Apple devices. Your Silicon Mac is powerful and gives you the most screen to work with; your iPad is large and versatile; your iPhone will go with you anywhere. And if you like, your work can sync among all your Apple devices using iCloud, so you can start plotting on one and finish on another.

LD is perfect for tech scouts, working while traveling, or just choosing the couch over your desk chair. While expensive drafting programs can take hours to use and years to master, Lighting Designer is an accessible way to plan your next show!

Features:
• Organize your setups into Shows, with details like shooting dates and crew members
• Choose from over 2000 built-in types of lights, grip equipment, camera gear, actors, and objects like furniture and musical instruments
• With a Crescit Premium account, you can have access to an additional 25,000+ pieces of lighting equipment, gels, and gobo templates
• Use your own images to create custom fixtures on your Plots (read the User Guide for image specs)
• For each light, specify wattage, beam spread, light output, DMX address, color, and many other details
• Certain fixtures include info for exposure approximation; all can be user-configured and have their exposure reverse-calculated from real-world readings
• Use Groups to create flexible collections of lights
• Notes allow you to describe every detail of your setup
• Pack your Truck to share gear among multiple Plots
• Draw a Floor Plan using basic shapes, and images from your device
• Lights can target other objects, and objects can rig onto each other for easy adjustments
• Email editable Plots to the crew, with images, equipment, and crew lists
• Undo/Redo functionality
• Optional iCloud sync
• Dark Mode presents a dark workspace to reduce eyestrain and minimize your device's light in a dark environment

Update?

I love what this app is trying to do. Needs an update for iOS 10. Some of the functionality has gone away since the new iOS.

Developer Response ,

I've released two major versions since this review, optimizing for iOS 10 and adding a ton of new features. Enjoy, and thanks for the review!

Easy to use "Cad" alternative.

I am a professional Film Electrician with IATSE local 873 in Toronto Canada. This LD App is almost the perfect solution to drawing lighting plots, with ease of use and a ready made fixture libraries of Truss, Motors, Lights and many other items such as stage gear and furniture. With a little more development, time and App updates this will be the go to App for drawing lighting plots.
Keep up the good work and look forward to any new App updates.
Thanks.

Great for on the go LD's

Great app! Price is high but you get what you pay for and then some. Lots of features and I'm still finding more. The days of grid paper for me on the go are gone and now soley rely on my iPad. Every LD should have this app. Look forward to seeing what comes next for this app!
