3D Performer's Practice Tools
One of the most exciting features of 3D Interactive and 3D Professional is the downloadable Performer’s Practice Tools for performers (or students). The Performer’s Practice Tools is a suite of tools used at home by a performer for viewing, practicing, and printing their drills. Your performers pick up the drills at home effortlessly! No personal email account, no downloading of email attachments, no handling of data files. Everything is done automatically within the Performer’s Practice Tools. In minutes the most current copy of a drill is loaded directly into the program on the performer’s computer, ready to use. The suite of tools include: The Drill Explorer, The 3D Performance Simulator, The Drill Book printout, The Coordinate List printout, and The Thumbnail Charts printout.
"The marching pad is a really helpful tool. It helps you with pulse, direction changes, and memorization. Pyware gives marching band students many advantages other than the drill. Being able to watch the drill with your spot highlighted helps you to learn, and if you lose your coordinates, being able to print off another set is a great advantage."

The Drill Explorer
The Drill Explorer displays and animates a drill to music. The performer’s place in the drill is brightly spot lit continuously as their position moves from set to set. For a very accurate analysis of a performer’s placement and movement in the drill, the performer can zoom closer to their place. The zoomed display automatically pans the field to keep the performer’s place in view as the drill animates. The performer’s stride is continuously displayed. Animation controls make the performance loop animation between sets, as well as start, stop, and backup at any count of drill.
"Being able to view the animated drill at home helped make the drill and music more personal. I felt like it was my show."

Personalized Coordinate Printout
Prints a list of the performer’s coordinates at each set in a drill. Coordinates can be printed in a variety of sizes; from full page, to small enough to fit in a wallet. With 3D Production, coordinates for an entire production (multiple drills) can be printed in a single list.
The list includes the performer’s location at each set with a resolution up to an eighth step. Also shown are set counts and number of counts from the previous set. The Director or Drill Designer no longer has to print hundreds of pages of Coordinate sheets. Now performers can print their own personal Coordinate sheets at home.
"The simulator made our sets more accurate and helped us to visualize the sets on the field. It was also very advantageous to be able to print our own coordinates quickly."

Personalized Printed Drill Book
Prints a powerful personalized drill book containing an overhead printout of each set printed from the performer’s perspective. On the same page, a chart zoomed near the performer’s area of the field is printed with the performer’s path showing from the previous set and to the next set. At the bottom of each page the coordinates of the previous set, current set, and next set are printed. The printed pages can be folded in half and stapled to make a handy 5.5” by 8.5” drill book for use on the field during rehearsals.

Thumbnail Printouts
Prints a report consisting of multiple sets per page of a drill. The charts are personalized with the performers place highlighted. Use for quick reference during rehearsals.
3D Performance Simulator
The patent pending 3D Performance Simulator simulates the drill centering on the performers place in the drill. Interactive marching truly comes to life. As a drill is performed, the performer (student) marches their individual part and the performer is scored according to the accuracy
