ShowRiderShowRider is a timeline-based show creation program similar to Showtime, but specific for LAStudio-created frames. ShowRider provides friendly interface, true visual show development and wide range of features. ShowRider has 3 parts:
Designer
Show structureShow can include up to 64 tracks and can control up to 4 scanners. Each track contains image-line and optional effect lines. Geometric effects: Rotation, Size, Position, Perspective,
Keystone. Also included new line type (Link) for navigation inside the track. This allows to mark a track segment and use a link to it in any place at the same track. With ShowRider, you can use a variety of methods of show
programming. The simplest and fastest way is where effects are placed
directly on the timeline. You don't need to make effect
-- just click on the timeline and effect event automatically appear. Later you can select
the events and place them into an event-block. An
event block is an object
that contains events. Later, you can work with these event blocks if desired. ShowRider includes a new concept called Key Effects. Key Effects have over 60 effect types.
The Key Effect editor is a true 3D editor which has 4 freely
adjustable projections. Also the Key Effect editor has its own timeline
where you can define key states of effects. In contrast to other
solutions you don't need to create events on timeline - you just
change effect state and key-state (event) will be created
automatically. Each key-state has parameters like rate of change the
defines a speed of passing (acceleration) to it.
It is also possible
to define a custom acceleration trajectory for each key-state. Show Room (new)
In the new version ShowRider, there is a real-time laser visualization system called "Show Room". Show Room has a user-defined scanner that has its own location and orientation, beam parameters, and special parameter that defines how scanner will be used - for beams or for graphics. Each scanner of "ShowRider" may be connected to one or more scanners of show room. Example you can see on screenshot - two "beam" scanners are connected to one "scanner of ShowRider", and third scanner is used for graphics and has its own screen. Show synchronizationThere are 4 main types of synchronization.
