Capture is one of the most popular visualization tools for theatrical lighting designers; however, it lacks a much-needed user’s manual. This book aims to meet this need.Capture for Lighting Design is intended for anyone wanting to learn to use this software. It assumes the reader has no experience with the software, walking readers, step-by-step, through exercises that teach them how to create visual images of their lighting designs using the free Student Edition of Capture 2018. It also teaches readers how to use ETC’s EOSnomad and Lightwright 6 with Capture, and how to download SketchUp models of a theatre and a set into Capture.
