    Lights and Roads

    in Shot Designer

    I'm new to all this and curious if there are more lights to choose somewhere? Can't see/find HMI's, Sky Panels/Vortex's, etc. Also, would be great to have tracking vehicle options, motorbike, process trailer, etc and simple structures i.e, house, building, bridge, etc in Props. In Sets, some simple road options would be handy i.e. straight road, t-intersection, cross roads, bend left/right. Are some of these things there and I'm just missing them?

    Indeed, the app is sparse in this regard. We've had an open call for prop suggestions, but have only received few. What we know instead is that people are building what they need from boxes, circles and lines, and many people use Google Maps screenshots for blocking on top of.


    We're working on a new bigger version, which has a vastly larger prop library, also operates in 3D, and has locations to shoot on. This is what gets the most energy. There's also a technical problem, that Adobe required us to use a specific format for vector props, and then since removed the format everywhere including from Illustrator, making it very hard for us to make vector graphics. But any expanded prop library as purely bitmaps would make the app huge. So we're trying to do these kinds of things in the new app that has native SVG support.
