You are free to modify Skybrush, subject to the terms of the GNU GPL v3.

Get an online demo of Skybrush #

We provide online demos for some modules without the need to download anything to your machine.

Download and use Skybrush #

We provide precompiled community versions of almost all Skybrush modules:

  • You can download and use the Skybrush Studio for Blender plugin for free. Community version lacks various professional features and is limited in the usage of our public Skybrush Studio Server that is accessed by the plugin online. If you work as a for-profit drone show artist, we ask you to license Skybrush Studio Professional for yourself to get a local copy of the server and to offload the community server.

  • You can download and use the full-featured version of Skybrush Viewer. It is free and completely open-source software.

  • You can download and use the precompiled community version of Skybrush Live for free, together with the precompiled community version of Skybrush Server. The community edition is limited to 10 drones and lacks some of the professional features. If a full-featured version is required, get a license for Skybrush Live Professional.

  • Skybrush Sidekick is not available for community users. You can get it as part of the Skybrush Live Professional bundle.

Get documentation #

  • A brief description of all Skybrush modules is available under the modules page on this website.
