DTLS, or dynamic theatre lighting system, is a lightweight, scripting free plugin for Unity which implements the functionality required to program a theatre show without access to the theatre. It takes all the difficulty out of programming before having access to the theatre or having the set constructed.

You can exactly replicate the lighting rig of any theatre, and then use the in-built command language to mass modify large numbers of lights. An alternative use for DTLS is to create theatre sets with accurate, modifiable lighting and dynamic effects to improve a game’s immersion.

Once the lights have been setup, DTLS can generate an image of a channel map showing the location, type, orientation, channel, and colour of every light like the one shown here. DTLS also supports programmable effects able to modify all aspects of the light, like direction, colour, and even position.

A written tutorial can be found in the README file.
