Exposimeter, a Virtual Light Meter App, has been updated to Version 2. If you are not familiar with the app, it works like a virtual light meter, and it was made by cinematographer and member of the Association of Czech Cinematographers, Ondřej Kymla.
The app was designed for cinematographers and gaffers, and it allows you to take real lights, set them up inside the app, and then very accurately measure the exposure of your scene before you even turn on a camera.
The main new feature of Version 2 is the Monitor function, which takes your Floor Plan diagram and gives you a fairly precise idea of how the lighting is going to look. It shows this on a male or female model in two versions: Hero and 3D.
Another big update is project management. Exposimeter now has its own Project Manager, so you can work on your computer and finish the work on your tablet. You can have up to 200 projects, and you can also archive your old projects for future reference.
There’s also a big update, especially for the Floor Plan Walls & Holes system. You can now create basic floor plans with walls and holes for more precise layouts. You can also change the Reflectance (Y) value of the walls, and Exposimeter will calculate the bounce of light off the walls.
Another update to the Floor Plan is that it now has a Top view and a new Front view, so you can change the height of lights or other items and get precise metering of the scene.
The update also includes more than 140 new lights, bringing the light library up to 370 lights in total. There are also several smaller updates and improvements, such as Mirrors and better handling of multiple items, among others.
Pricing
Exposimeter is available for a one-time price of $99.90 USD, which gives you lifetime (as long as the app is around!) access and updates. You can also choose an annual plan for $29.90 USD that you can cancel anytime.
There is also a free 7-day trial, so you can check it out before purchasing.
