I’m a programmer/designer that has always had a love for the industry. I’ve built home haunts for years and have gone on to work for my local haunts.
I have an idea for a haunt layout tool, but I want to see if there’s any interest in the community first.
It’s a 3D layout tool that allows you to quickly drag and drop wall panels, doorways, windows, etc. to create your haunts’ layout. Once you’re happy with the layout you can fill it with props, lighting, sound, fog, etc.. All of this gives you a big advantage over designing the layout on paper since you can visualize what the haunt will actually look like in 3D. To expand on this you can even change your view to walk through the haunt to experience it from the perspective of a customer. When you’re all set with the layout you can export it as traditional building plans to reference during construction.
There is a lot more to it but that is the core concept. I think it is a neat idea, but I want to get as much feedback as possible to decide if I should pursue it.
