3D

3D is the premier drill design product on the market. We continue to listen to the suggestions and ideas of our customers and combine that with innovative technology to bring you the best drill design software in the world.

3D is the most widely used drill design software on the market. Used by high school, college, university and corps around the world. Following is a statement by one of the many corps using 3D.

"I began using Pyware for designing my band drills in 1994. Today, I am still using the Pyware 3D Interactive for the Cavaliers Drum and Bugle Corps, as well as numerous High School marching bands across the country. There is nothing you can do by hand that you cannot do with Pyware! The amount of time saved is incredible, the results are excellent, and we highly recommend this tool for people designing any kind of drill!"
Michael Gaines, Designer -- Cavaliers Drum and Bugle Corp

3D version 5 is now available

New Features:

Interactive and Professional Only:

  • Production Sheet: A brand new way to develop your drill. The Production Sheet allows you to map out your charts within 3D, before any drawing or design takes place. Any information inserted into the Production Sheet is available to import into text boxes on your charts for quick notes or instruction.
  • Revamped Text Tool: Create templates of text boxes from your Production Sheet that may be quickly added to any drill file. Text Boxes have the ability to import information from the Production Sheet for a cleaner, more efficient text box.
  • Performer ID Panel: With the Performer ID Panel, you are able to quickly adjust Performer label positioning without having to open any tools.
  • Touch Screen Compatibility: Version 5 introduces a new, resizable interface that encourages use on touch screen monitors or interactive white boards. Windows and panels are able to "detach" from the software, giving you more screen real estate for design.
  • Perspective View: Perspective View now has the ability to define "Camera angles" which you may switch between during design or animated playback.
  • Ability to save out files with a "v.4 compatibility" this save function will allow you to create a file type that would be able to be opened on any version of 3D Java 1-4.

All Versions:
  • New Block Tool: Words really can't describe how easy to use the new Block tool is. This is just one of those things you'll have to see for yourself.
  • Perspective View: Perspective View now also shows editing and design in real time when developing charts.
  • Set Reference Tool: Notate on each chart which performer would be the reference point that all performers in the form would adjust to. Reference point performers are displayed on both charts and coordinates.

  • Redesigned Interface
  • New file format for file stability
