Full Show Preview

Overview

The Full Show Preview is a web-based tool for quickly visualizing the complete drone show — including takeoff, animation figures, and landing — in a single interactive 3D view.

Core Benefits

• Fast iteration — see the entire show without waiting for renders.
• Pipeline integration — easily prepared from Houdini using a configuration file exported from the Site Configuration Tool.
• Client-ready output — share a single link that shows the full show from takeoff to landing.
• Comprehensive view — includes all figures, transitions, timing, and spatial layout.

How It Works

1. Configure your site layout and show parameters in the Site Configuration Tool.
2. Export the configuration file and load it into Houdini.
3. Use the preview tool to generate a web visualization of the full show.
4. Review timing, transitions, and spatial positioning before final export.

Key Features

• Full timeline playback with speed controls.
• 3D scene navigation.
• Visual feedback for takeoff, animation, and landing phases.
• Displays formation accuracy, and timing information.
