Create Drills Like the Pros!
High schools, colleges and universities, as well as corps worldwide, depend on Pyware 3D for their designing and teaching needs. Designed for the marching band director who designs their own shows, 3D Basic offers all the powerful core features of 3D Interactive and 3D Professional at a reduced price point. Plug-ins such as the Personal Drill Book Printer, Floor Covers, Spiral Tool, Traditional Tools, and the Splice tool can be purchased separately on 3D Basic. The following 3D programs seamlessly communicate with each other: 3D Interactive, 3D Professional, 3D Designer's Viewer, and 3D Performer's Practice Tools.

Leading drill design software
Pyware 3D is the leading drill design software out there — a staple item for high school and college bands, but also used in special events such as Super Bowl halftime shows, Olympics Opening and Closing Ceremonies, over 90% of all college bowl games, major parades, movies such as Drumline, and even on Broadway.
Fast and flexible
The secret behind 3D's success is its speed and flexibility. With patented count to count technology, you can view, edit, or print any count of the drill at any time. Its special Morph feature lets you create transitions by morphing an existing formation instead of tediously recreating formations from scratch. Marching enthusiasts at Sweetwater especially appreciate 3D's ability to rewrite drills in mere seconds, which can be a tremendous help in the event that your ensemble's numbers change.
New in 3D:
- Z Axis explores vertical space, allowing performers on props, props on props, pass-overs, pass-unders, and pass-throughs

- Props Entered/Edited As Performers lets you design and maneuver props just like you would performers
- Simplified Audio Sync allows you to tap the beginning and end count for audio and evenly apply counts in the drill file to the audio file
- New User Interface provides a new look and feel, plus UI scaling for high-res displays and combined tools for greater productivity
- Face To/Away From Point for setting a focal point for performers to face to and/or away from
- Annotation lets you draw direction arrows with drawing tools
