Helios Pro

Any time. Any place. Anywhere.

Pinpoint the sun, moon, and stars at any location, on any date, past or future. Visualize light and shadow before you scout.

Matthew "Matti" Libatique, ASC

“Helios is a game-changer for me. It translates complex lighting setups into intuitive, precise blueprints that let me sculpt with light before arriving at a location.”

Cinematographer — Maestro, A Star Is Born, Black Swan, Requiem for a Dream

3D light simulation

See how the light will fall, before you arrive.

Through 3D reconstruction, Helios simulates how sunlight will fall on a location throughout the day, both at terrain and building level. Know which side of the street is lit at 4pm before you've packed the van.
