modelbox do this all the time. I visualise a large number of West End s Industrials, and have had lighting designers such as David Hersey working in the office on show visualisations. We have a renderfarm and frame animate to CRV Laserdisc. I am shortly going to visualise all the scene changes for the new Cameron Mackintosh production of Oliver at the London Palladium. (Blah blah…) We have an extensive wishlist with regard to 3D Studio, to enable better reproduction of theatre and performance lighting, most of which centre around programming lighting cues, operating lights in groups, translating real colour filters to RGB values, allowing for colour temperature changes as lights dim, operating groups of lights, reproducing light effects in smoke and vapours and dealing with moving lights. We have work-arounds for most of these, and have just downloaded the IPAS Jonas mentioned, but we would love to talk to any enterprising IPAS programmers out there who feel they could help. We produce a lighting design add-on for AutoCAD at present – called AutoLight and may well be interested in backing a 3D Studio-based lighting design package if it had sufficient features. I look forward to hearing from you… Regards Peter
