# Drone Show Engine

> Drone light show design software. It turns a venue, a fleet size and a creative brief into a computed, safety-checked show: per-drone trajectories and colours, flight files (Skybrush .skyc, per-drone CSV, VVIZ), a report for the flight authorisation and a video of the simulation. Sold either as ready-to-use software or as the complete engine with all its source code.

## Who it is for

- Drone show operators who want their own tool instead of a per-drone yearly licence.
- Fireworks companies and event producers moving into drone shows, who need to show clients a simulation over their own venue.
- Fleet manufacturers and distributors who want to ship a designer with their drones under their brand.
- Animation studios that design shows for third parties.

## How to buy

- **The software**: the application installed and running under the buyer's brand. Options: usage licence on the buyer's server, or hosted for a yearly fee.
- **The complete engine**: all the source code (designer, trajectory computation, server, exporters, automated tests, technical documentation) with the right to modify it and offer it under the buyer's name. Options: non-exclusive source licence, or exclusive purchase.
- There is no public price list: pricing is quoted after a demo, according to the option and scope. A 30-minute demo on a venue chosen by the buyer can be requested at https://droneshowengine.com/en/#contact

## Specifications

- Runs in the browser (Chrome, Edge, Firefox) on the buyer's own server.
- Fleet: 10 to 5,000 drones per show.
- Scene objects: text, logos and images, a library of 3D shapes, GLB / glTF / OBJ / PLY / STL models, point clouds, photos turned into volume, animated stroke figures, bone animation, pixel animations.
- Export: Skybrush (.skyc), per-drone CSV in a ZIP, VVIZ; report in HTML and PDF; MP4 video.
- Safety: ten plan checks (speed, acceleration, separation, ceiling, obstacles, terrain, endurance with reserve, distance to the audience) plus a simulated flight with wind, gusts and positioning error.
- Venue data: buildings and streets from OpenStreetMap (worldwide); fine terrain and aerial imagery from Spain's National Geographic Institute; optional Google 3D map with the buyer's own key.
- Weather: forecast from MET Norway and history from NASA POWER.
- Optional AI for scripts and drawings: Gemini, OpenAI, Anthropic, OpenRouter and OpenAI-compatible services. Optional AI music: a score composed by the text model and played by the built-in synthesiser, Google Lyria, or ElevenLabs. Everything works without AI.
- Nine sample scenarios on real Spanish venues are included; three of them use AI-drawn figures, and all nine videos carry AI-composed music.
- Technology: TypeScript, React and three.js in the browser; Node server. No paid dependencies.
- Interface language: Spanish today; the engine is delivered ready to be translated.

## Verification status (stated plainly)

- 461 automated tests of the engine and server, all passing; 332 on-screen checks driving the application in a browser.
- Mutation testing: 216 of 216 deliberately introduced faults detected by the tests.
- The exported .skyc file has been read with Skybrush's own code (130 drones, trajectory within 3 cm), opened in Skybrush Viewer and imported into Blender with Skybrush Studio.
- **No show has been flown yet with a file produced by this software.** The first real flight is done with the buyer and their fleet.
- It does not replace ground control software: it designs, checks and exports; the fleet's own ground control software runs the flight.

## Frequently asked questions

### What is Drone Show Engine?
It is software to design, simulate and export drone light shows. It starts from the real venue on the map, builds the scenes with text, logos, 3D models and animated figures, checks safety and delivers the flight files and the report.

### How much does it cost?
It depends on what you buy. The software is offered with a usage licence or hosted for a yearly fee; the complete engine, with a non-exclusive source licence or as an exclusive purchase. Pricing is given after a demo, according to the option and scope.

### What is the difference between the software and the engine?
The software is the application, ready to use under your brand. The engine is all the source code —designer, trajectory computation, server and exporters— with the right to modify it and offer it under your name.

### Do I need to know Blender or 3D animation?
No. It runs in the browser and scenes are built from objects. If you already work with Blender, you can import the result with Skybrush Studio.

### Which file formats does it export?
Skybrush (.skyc), one CSV per drone inside a ZIP (time, position and colour) and VVIZ. It also produces the report in HTML and PDF and the simulation video in MP4.

### How many drones does it support?
From 10 to 5,000 per show. The fleet is set at the start and the software shares the drones among the objects of each scene without exceeding that number.

### Does it help with the flight authorisation?
It produces the report that goes with the request: venue, heights, limits, distances to the audience and safety results. It does not replace the procedure or the operator's own assessment before the aviation authority.

### Can an AI write the music and draw the figures?
Yes, if one is connected. Music is requested by describing the mood: the text model composes it as a score and the software plays it, or Google Lyria or ElevenLabs generate the audio. Figures that are in no library are requested by name and the AI draws them ready to be turned into drones.

### Which drones does it work with?
Those that read Skybrush files or a per-drone CSV with time, position and colour. Other formats can be added as part of the agreement.

### Does it replace the ground control software?
No. It designs, checks and exports the show. The flight is run by each fleet's ground control software, which loads the files.

### Does it work outside Spain?
Yes for buildings and design, which use worldwide data. Fine terrain and aerial imagery come today from Spain's National Geographic Institute; for other countries the equivalent service is plugged in.

### Who owns the figures and the data?
The figures are original designs. Maps, terrain and weather are open data, credited in the report. The licence inventory is delivered with the engine.

### What support is included?
With the software, set-up and training. With the engine, a hand-over session and a period for questions. Ongoing maintenance is contracted separately or included in the hosted fee.

### Can I see it first?
Yes: a 30-minute demo by video call, with a scene built on the venue you tell us.

## Preguntas frecuentes

### ¿Qué es Drone Show Engine?
Es un software para diseñar, simular y exportar espectáculos de luces con drones. Parte del lugar real en el mapa, monta las escenas con texto, logotipos, modelos 3D y figuras animadas, comprueba la seguridad y entrega los ficheros de vuelo y el dosier.

### ¿Cuánto cuesta?
Depende de lo que compres. El programa se ofrece con licencia de uso o alojado con cuota anual; el motor completo, con licencia de código no exclusiva o en exclusiva. El precio se da tras una demostración, según modalidad y alcance.

### ¿Qué diferencia hay entre el programa y el motor?
El programa es la aplicación lista para usar con tu marca. El motor es todo el código fuente —diseñador, cálculo de trayectorias, servidor y exportaciones— con derecho a modificarlo y a ofrecerlo con tu nombre.

### ¿Hace falta saber Blender o animación 3D?
No. Funciona en el navegador y las escenas se montan con objetos. Quien ya trabaje con Blender puede importar el resultado con Skybrush Studio.

### ¿Qué formatos de fichero exporta?
Skybrush (.skyc), un CSV por dron dentro de un ZIP (tiempo, posición y color) y VVIZ. Además genera el dosier en HTML y PDF y el vídeo de la simulación en MP4.

### ¿Cuántos drones admite?
De 10 a 5.000 por espectáculo. La flota se fija al empezar y el programa reparte los drones entre los objetos de cada escena sin pasar de esa cifra.

### ¿Sirve para pedir la autorización del vuelo?
Genera el dosier que acompaña a la solicitud: lugar, alturas, límites, distancias al público e informe de seguridad. No sustituye al trámite ni a la evaluación del operador ante la autoridad aeronáutica.

### ¿Puede una IA poner la música y dibujar las figuras?
Sí, si se conecta una. La música se pide describiendo el ambiente: la compone el modelo de texto como partitura y la toca el programa, o la generan Google Lyria o ElevenLabs. Las figuras que no están en ninguna biblioteca se piden por su nombre y la IA las dibuja listas para convertirlas en drones.

### ¿Con qué drones funciona?
Con los que leen Skybrush o un CSV por dron con tiempo, posición y color. Otros formatos se pueden añadir como parte del acuerdo.

### ¿Sustituye al programa de control en tierra?
No. Diseña, comprueba y exporta el espectáculo. El vuelo lo gobierna el programa de control de cada flota, que es quien carga los ficheros.

### ¿Sirve fuera de España?
Sí para los edificios y el diseño, que usan datos mundiales. El relieve fino y la ortofoto vienen hoy del Instituto Geográfico Nacional; para otros países se conecta su servicio equivalente.

### ¿De quién son las figuras y los datos?
Las figuras son de diseño propio. Los mapas, el relieve y el tiempo son datos abiertos que se citan en el dosier. El inventario de licencias se entrega con el motor.

### ¿Qué soporte hay?
Con el programa, puesta en marcha y formación. Con el motor, una sesión de traspaso y un periodo de dudas. El mantenimiento continuo se contrata aparte o va en la cuota del alojado.

### ¿Puedo verlo antes?
Sí: una demostración de media hora por videollamada, con un escenario montado sobre el lugar que nos indiques.
