openStages

The software that I am developing is a 3-D computer model of any theatre or performance space into which are placed the systems usually associated with performance. Lights, sound, fly bars, revolves and trucks etc. From a library it is possible to pull in generic or custom made pieces of scenery, attach them to these systems and then light and manipulate them in real time just as it would be possible with real scenery in a real theatrical space.  Link to openStages.
openStages is the latest version of the above idea based on the OpenGL 3D library. It is a development from the earlier project called virtual_Stages.
