Includes default set of presets for professional production. Full support for user defined presets for all commonly used fields. App-wide built in help screens to explain every feature.

Built in drawing feature to create diagrams or annotate pictures. Print or email a comprehensive shooting report to your VFX artists after the shoot. Track general scenes or individual takes.
#Shotbot tools full#
A full list of fields is at the bottom of this page. ShotBOT has all the fields you would expect.

For more detailed information on ShotBOT, please check out our web site for demo screencasts and a comprehensive FAQ page. All advanced features are sold via in-app purchases so you only need to buy what you need. This app is designed by someone who has spent 20 years shooting visual effects. It tracks all the VFX needs for film, TV, documentaries, music videos and commercial production. It would have been previously inaccessible to a private practice physician even a few years earlier.ShotBOT is designed for professional visual effects supervisors, to use during production, to take all the necessary production notes when shooting visual effects scenes.
#Shotbot tools software#
The price of this computer controlled milling machine and modeling software is best of all. ShopBot has a very strong user community and were always very responsive with tech support. We reduced machining time to about 15 minutes. We eventually upgraded to a much smaller benchtop ShopBot and installed it in his practice. I modeled insoles in CAD (using Solidworks) and we purchased a 4'x8' ShopBot PRS Alpha to cut 20-30 pairs of insoles out of 4'x8' foam sheets. Because of my experience at Stanford I realized that the high spindle speed of a wood router could effectively cut the medical grade foam he used in his orthotics. The folks in his practice spent a lot of time hand-crafting custom orthotics and insoles, which was very inefficient. I have also used a Shop Bot while working with a podiatrist who practices as a foot surgeon. ShopBot + Sketchup allowed us to do many cycles of design/build/test, which ultimately yielded some very refined artifacts. The process was very fast, and relatively cheap. We designed and made much of the furniture we used in our new building space in Google's Sketchup and machined the material using a 4' x 8' ShopBot owned and operated by Rob Bell. I work at Stanford's design school - called the d.school. They are getting cheaper every year, but if you only need one occasionally, you can buy time on one at shared workshops like Techshop. The cheapest Shopbot is the small Shop Bot Desktop for $5,000. Hey, you can even equip it with a pen or the like, which permits very intricate drawings. On a big boat, each plate of the hull is different shape, but the ShopBot just follows its orders and spits them out ready to install. It can cut anything programmable like the hull plates for a full scale sailboat. We have one at the design school I teach at. ShopBots (and their kin) can also fabricate extremely detailed 3D contour maps (whole cities!), and other intricate 3D surfaces. A friend of mine used his ShopBot to cut the gears and mechanism (other than the chime) for a full-scale replica of a grandfather's Clock. It is great for small-scale production runs of machine parts in wood or metal. Think of it as a large-scale milling machine. The ShopBot is a low-cost CNC, or computer controlled router.
