Hi all. I have searched a lot but with no success on any decent free design programs. What seems to keep coming up is control programs which is not what I need. Just something that I can put a plot together in would be nice. Thanks.
There is no free design software out there that I know of. However it's not a problem if you are student because (as Ishboo said) you can use the industry standard Vectorworks for free. Just contact Nemetschek. No reason to mess around with some substandard software when you can legally use what the pros use for free. It's rapidly being adopted by scene shops too. They can design the set and then pass the file onto the LD who can design the lights in the same file. VERY COOL.
Did anyone ever find a copy of this? The page has disappeared from the net and, while the web.archive has a copy, it didn't cache the software as well. His AudioCue software is available on a couple of shareware sites, but I can't find this one, which sounded interesting.
