CaviesFan17 Posted February 27, 2017 Share Posted February 27, 2017 I have always loved the art of drill and I have some ideas that I want to put into reality or better yet, virtual reality. I would love some recommendations for good drill writing software. Thanks guys! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buzz16 Posted February 27, 2017 Share Posted February 27, 2017 Pyware is probably the most used, but there are others like EnVision and Field Artist. For a cheaper version, micromarching.com is a flash-based version of a drill writing software that is more user-friendly. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ibexpercussion Posted February 27, 2017 Share Posted February 27, 2017 Pencil, paper, ruler, protractor, compass, eraser (yup, lots of erasers). That was our drill writing software BITD 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoaDci Posted February 27, 2017 Share Posted February 27, 2017 Micromarching is phenomenal. I am not very good at drill writing... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrumManTx Posted February 28, 2017 Share Posted February 28, 2017 (edited) Although I have been on Micromarching for almost a decade now (oh my God), I wouldn't call it a software. But it's fun, I still jump on there. Great to just spit out some ideas on for fun. Pyware is the most widely used, although I didn't find it very user friendly when trying to learn how to use it. I like the ability to just jump right in with Envision and be able to manipulate/click and drag individual MMs around and then set a form rather than having go through a whole process like in Pyware. But if you're used to Pyware it's probably easy and I'm just an idiot. Pyware/Envision/Field Artist are your best bets. I'd suggest getting the demos, messing around with them WHILE watching the tutorials, and seeing what works best for you.

I remember reading that first post on DCP and being obsessed with it for about a year after that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

frachel Posted February 28, 2017 Share Posted February 28, 2017 It doesn't answer your question, but this thread brings back memories - I wrote computer drill writing software for a college project back in 1990! For the time, it was pretty good (dont know if there were any others back then). I used my 87 garfield drill sheets as the show for my project, lol. Wish I would have continued with it and tried to sell it back then! Oh well. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
