New Plug-Ins from Illumination Visuals - Boom Lift, Scissor Lift, & Telehandler

[SamIWas]

I have finally finished some plug-ins that I use heavily in my own work, and thought they might be useful to other people.  The plug-ins are a Boom Lift, a Scissor Lift, and a Telehandler.    Most of my work is in film and episodic television, and we use these constantly.  They are designed with Film and TV production in mind, but could be used for pretty much anything.

 

They are all fully customizable for size, arm heights and angles, platform height and extension, etc, along with either color presets or custom colors.  Each one also has several "presets" to quickly select different models.  There is a Film/TV version of the Boom Lift which has numerous standard rigging options available with customization of each one.

 

They are also fully hybrid with separate 2D display options, so that the 2D plans are clean.

 

If these interest you, head on over to illumiviz.com.  Also be sure to check out "The Workshop" which shows other things I'm toying with.  Please pass along to anyone you think might find these useful.  Cross-posting this in General as well.

 

One note...sending license keys is a manual process and may take me up to 24 hours to get them out between sleep and work.

Cool stuff, Sam!

 

I love when the lighting dept is based in Vectorworks. 😁 

 

Congrats on the last season of ST by the way 🙌

Thanks, man!   These plug-ins were used extensively in the production of ST.  The telehandler was largely developed for ST.

A few people have commented about that one.  I'll make that the next priority.
