Lighting design software

Save time with a lighting design, documentation and visualization software that is both easy to learn and rewarding to use! Capture is a native macOS and Windows application that lets you work with lighting, video, laser, moving scenery and water effects. Where Capture truly excels is with its ease of use and seamless switching between design, documentation and visualization. This provides an unprecedented level of flexibility and ability to support different types of design processes. It encourages you to try out new workflows and find faster ways of working.

Designing with Capture

Whether you're looking to create a simple 2D sketch or a full-blown 3D plot, Capture has you covered. Try as many fixtures as you need, at different hanging positions and with different gels or gobos. Adapt easily to any set design changes or sudden new restrictions. Do even more with Capture's impressive 3D model import capabilities and excellent integration with other lighting control and design products.

	Innovative Design Tools The powerful control pane combined with fixture groups for easy fixture selection makes conceptualization a breeze. The specialized focus plane tool helps you plan an even coverage.
	Model Import and Export When the built-in parametric forms are not enough you can import models from a wide selection of 3D file formats such as glTF (with PGR materials), SketchUp, DWG, Cinema 4D and more.
	Floor Plan Import Save precious time by importing a vector-based PDF floor plan and building your design on top of it and know everything is in the right location.

Documentation comes easy

Great plots and reports are only a click away in Capture! Design changes instantly update plots and reports, which saves you from having to redo any paperwork. Filter, gobo, focus and patching information appears automatically for all fixture types. With a high readability and a wide range of configuration options you have total control of your paperwork. You can also add some personalization for that extra professional touch!
