Martin Professional is running a spring promotion on Martin ShowDesigner 5^TM (MSD 5), the new version of the popular lighting and set design software package.

During the promotion, Martin is offering a 10% discount on MSD 5 until June 30th. Visit http://www.martinshowdesigner.com/ and go to the Online store for details.

Also, for Martin LightJockey users, MSD 5 Live LJ is now priced at a low 249 Euros (approx. 340 USD) - that's more than 50% off the standard price. MSD 5 Live LJ features a new Visualiser, modeler, model libraries, new sketch-up import and more to easily create your own scenes.

As a reminder, MSD 5 users can obtain points when they refer other end-users to the MSD software. Reward points can then be applied to the purchase of an annual MSD membership or towards the purchase of another MSD license.

Brilliant for developing realistic 3D lighting simulations, MSD 5 includes a host of improvements, most notably a new state-of-the-art 3D graphic engine that delivers near rendering quality in real-time.
