Everest 3D was designed and developed for theatrical designers. It contains all of SoftPlot™ as a data base, so all the shapes, symbols and data for lighting instruments are readily available, as are all the SoftPlot reports and schedules. In addition, Everest 3D’s data base includes all the widely used stagecraft components, such as trussing, rigging, tables, walls¸ screens, etc.

Any stage picture or design you create on Everest 3D can be saved as a BMP or similar file. Imagine the convenience of showing the director or other members of the team a number of design choices in a scene. You can solicit feedback and make adjustments, even if other members of the design team are in a different city or a different time zone.

Everest 3D is easily integrated with the Horizon™ lighting control program. You can create your plots, drawings, visualizations and paperwork on Everest 3D — and then run the show cues on Horizon. The design process with Rosco’s Everest 3D and Horizon becomes “create it, draw it, visualize it, save it—and run it.”

System Requirements
Everest 3D system requirements are Windows™ 98, 2000, ME or XP; 1 GHz Pentium or compatible processor; 256 MB RAM, 100 MB freedisk space; 800x600 or better screen resolution; open GL compatible display adapter with minimum 16MB video memory. Note: These are minimum requirements. Faster processor and additional memory will enhance the performance of Everest 3D. A high-end compatible display adapter card will improve graphic rendering performance.

Here's a typical screen picture from the Everest 3D program. Beam shapes and spreads of the spotlights are correct and adjusted as you change height, equipment, gels, direction or focussing. All the scenic forms shown here come from Everest 3D's data base, but you can add to the data base customized equipment or scenic elements in your facility.		Because Horizon can be integrated with Everest 3D, you can assign channels and run the lighting cues for your show as soon as you and your associates have agreed to the plot. Using separate monitors—or a split screen as shown here—you can see the stage pictures developing as the show progresses.
Everest 3D is a theatre design program, so the built-in data base contains data for hundreds of scenic and lighting elements. Virtually every lighting instrument, with its associated photometrics, is included in the data base as are all the gel colors, gobos, and other accessories. In addition to the lighting equipment, the data base includes over 400 different types of stage equipment.		Assigning attributes to your lines, such as purpose and height, allows you to view them in 3D. Create a ramp by making one height different than the other. Create a cone by making the top radius smaller than the bottom radius.
