Using Vivien's tools the user can create a virtual model of an event and instead of simply using a floor plan, sell the vision from all angles of the room, and produce colourful images that everyone can see and understand - before their event happens, says the company.
Using Vivien, with the new mouse from 3Dconnexion, you can 'Start here' and produce a walking tour and commentary as you move inside the Virtual View of your event for your client. Make it easy for your client to picture themselves in the event you designed for them. Point out your customizing to the client's specs. Show them the benefit of upgrading. Make notes for the project team. They can download it like you do a video via the Internet.
Vivien certifies all additions to its library are "completely accurate and fully reliable". The library, which grows with every new release, comprises several thousand tables & chairs, place settings, linens & drapery, people, musical instruments, lights, gobos, etc. from all regions of the world.
Vivien's library also contains an extensive electronic catalogue of the new manufacturer items from brands like CORT Event Furnishings, Fantastic Backdrops, and Rose Brand fabrics. Demonstrations will be available at Prolight+Sound in Frankfurt next month.
