From drawing to show

See the show
before you build it.

CADANZ shows your BricsCAD drawing in 3D with real light: beams in the haze, colours and gobos, moving heads, LED walls, lasers, an audience, pyro and fireworks. Show a client the event, make pictures and videos, and program the light show before you are on site.

Request a demo How it works

A stage in CADANZ at night: coloured moving-head beams in the haze over an LED wall, with the audience in the dark.

Four steps, left to right.

  1. 1

    Design

    Run SCRENDER in BricsCAD and the drawing opens in 3D with your lights where you drew them. Dress the scene with materials, a sky, decor and an audience. Run it again after a change: everything you did in CADANZ stays.

  2. 2

    Patch

    Every light with its DMX mode, universe and address. Filters show problems, unpatched lights and overlaps; auto-patch, and a CSV for the crew.

  3. 3

    Program

    A programmer with Dim, Pos, Color, Beam, Gobo, Focus, FX and Pyro. Ready-made moves, looks, presets, cue lists and a timeline against the music.

  4. 4

    Playback

    Play the cue lists like a desk, by hand or on timecode. Or let a real desk drive CADANZ, and send the show out to real lights.

The demo show

A light show in one click.

Start demo show builds a light show for the lights in your drawing and plays it with music. CADANZ reads the stage, the audience side, the LED walls, lasers, pyro and moving trusses by itself. Nothing is sent to real lights.

Pick your own song and the show follows its beats, builds and drops. The Song map lets you tune every part: energy, colours, style, what plays and where the heads point.

  • Spotlight

Everything a show needs.

Lights and effects

Every GDTF fixture with a picture and a 3D preview. Room lights with IES or LDT profiles, and effects: flame, CO2, confetti, sparks, gerbs, comets and more.

Audience and performers

Draw an audience area or fill the floor in front of the stage in one click. A dancer, a DJ, a singer. With phone lights and the wave.

Cues, pyro and fireworks

Store cues, play them with GO and lay them on the timeline. Fire pyro in a row, or draw a firing zone and let CADANZ build a whole display. For the picture only, not a firing plan.

Pictures and videos

Save views, save pictures up to 4K, and render a fly-through or turntable as a film with the show in it. Raster for live work, path traced for the most real picture.

Patch and real lights

Universes, addresses and modes in one list. Let a real lighting desk drive CADANZ over Art-Net or sACN, or send the show to the lights themselves.

Day, night and the real sun

Outdoor, night or indoor. The sun where it really stands at your place, date and time, with clouds, stars and the moon. Then walk through it yourself, at eye height or in VR.

Show it before it's there.

CADANZ works with SCAD Re-Event in BricsCAD. Ask for a demo and we'll show it on a drawing of your own.
