Perspective View Figurines

New in version 4.2 - Three dimensional Figurines in true perspective.

3D is the premier drill design product on the market. We continue to listen to the suggestions and ideas of our customers and combine that with innovative technology to bring you the best drill design software in the world.

3D is the most widely used drill design software on the market. Used by high school, college, university and corps around the world. Following is a statement by one of the many corps using 3D.

"I began using Pyware for designing my band drills in 1994. Today, I am still using the Pyware 3D Interactive for the Cavaliers Drum and Bugle Corps, as well as numerous High School marching bands across the country. There is nothing you can do by hand that you cannot do with Pyware! The amount of time saved is incredible, the results are excellent, and we highly recommend this tool for people designing any kind of drill!"
Michael Gaines, Designer -- Cavaliers Drum and Bugle Corp

3D is the only drill program that uses a patented count to count technology. This process allows you to view, edit or print any count of the drill at any time. With 3D's unique Morph feature you can create transitions by morphing existing formation instead of tediously recreating formations from scratch. Our patented Time Track process removes the limitation that requires all transitions to begin and end at the same time. 3D employs True Automatic animation handled by your computer behind the scenes as you design. 3D actually records your every move and then uses that information to automatically create animation in the background. 3D is the fastest drawing and animating drill program on the market. Our patented Rewrite technology allows you to rewrite your drill in seconds.
