Nemetschek North America Awards VectorWorks Spotlight to ESP Vision 2.0 Lighting Design Contest Winners
Columbia, Maryland (March 29, 2006)--Nemetschek North America congratulates
the winners of the ESP Vision 2.0 Lighting Design Contest and awarded them
complimentary copies of VectorWorks Spotlight 12 with RenderWorks.
Each entry was judged on these factors: complexity of cueing, cueing
complimenting the song, use of truss moves, use of fixtures, and overall
look.
Lighting designer Scott Riley, who is based in Miami, Florida, took the
grand prize, which included free copies of VectorWorks Spotlight with
RenderWorks, an unlimited license of ESP Vision 2.0, a High End Systems USB
DMX Super Widget, and an NVIDIA® GeForce 7800 GTX video card.
"VectorWorks Spotlight provides a great environment to draw in 3D
effortlessly, and-with the refinements that have been made in version 12-the
export to ESP Vision has become even better with improved performance," said
Riley. I have always felt that VectorWorks Spotlight is a great tool for
lighting design, and, since I have been using it to export to ESP Vision, it
has become much more efficient to move from the design stage to the
pre-programming visualization. All in all, it is a great combination and a
powerful tool that I'm fortunate to have as a part of my production
experience."
"Our developers have been working hard with ZZYZX, Inc., makers of ESP
Vision, to make VectorWorks Spotlight the primary method of creating
geometry and plots to use with ESP Vision pre-visualization software," says
Kevin Linzey, VectorWorks Spotlight product manager. "VectorWorks Spotlight,
which has long been regarded as the industry standard in entertainment
design, now offers designers an end-to-end solution, thanks to the plug-in
ESP Vision developed."

Runners up Matthew Cochran, an independent lighting professional from
Henderson, NV, and Daniel Chapman, an MFA candidate at Carnegie Melon School
of Drama, in Pittsburgh, PA, received VectorWorks Spotlight 12 with
RenderWorks, as well as two universes of ESP Vision.
The partnership between Nemetschek North America and ESP Vision provides a
complete design, visualization, and simulation solution to lighting
designers worldwide. The VectorWorks Spotlight/ESP Vision plug-in teams the
powerful 2D drafting, 3D modeling, and rendering capabilities of VectorWorks
Spotlight with the advanced rendering and real-time lighting simulation
capabilities of ESP Vision. Lighting designers can now easily conceptualize
their design, generate the necessary drawings and paperwork, and create 3D
models in VectorWorks Spotlight, then move their models directly into ESP
Vision to simulate and cue their work.
