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

Fairly useful

This has helped me plan projects fairly swiftly, and distribute to crew. The rendering of plans can sometimes confuse and overlap vital info like lamps which makes it hard to read. It can crash randomly, but never really lost anything I had done. So pretty good, all in all. Would love to see improvements for it to become more useful. Please add underwater lamps!

Great to hear! If you’re looking for more fixtures, check out the Crescit LightShop Library subscription, which will give you access to over 13,000 fixtures plus more thousands of gels and gobo patterns. You can also exercise more control over your objects stacking order by using the Z position feature. Send me an email if you have any questions!

Continuous crashing and overpriced

This IS a great app and app idea. There is some intuitiveness to it although without a user guide accessible on iPhone (it’s there just a blank screen though) within the app you already have to have some familiarity with draft and design. The price tag is not justifiable due to crashes as I can’t even generate a test plot without losing my mind! Maybe it’s better on iPad but if I had an Ipad out I may as well have had a computer out and plotted that way.

Developer Response ,

It’s certainly better on iPad, but it seemed wrong to not make it available for iPhone as well. I highly recommend iPad Pro with an Apple Pencil, and I built in keyboard shortcuts as well!

The User Guide requires an internet connection to use, so just make sure that’s available.

Crashes

This App could really be fantastic, there’s a lot of useful features and I found it reasonably simple to work out. The crashing gets ridiculous though. Once I’d reached a certain point in putting together quite a simple plan, it started closing itself down literally every five minutes. The result is that it’s really too slow to be of much use, even on an ipad pro with pencil.

Developer Response ,

Sorry to hear that! Please email lightingdesigner.app@gmail.com, or email through the app, and we’ll get the problem worked out.
