Thread: Angling the fixtures in Pixelmad

    Angling the fixtures in Pixelmad

    How do I do it? I wanna make an arc of LED but not Pixel by pixel, I have colorblazes and I need to do it by instrument.

    thanks

    you need to rotate them at a angle other than up down left or right?

    Ditto

    Same issue. would like to be able to do say a 16 ch RGB on a diagonal of varying degrees for custom setwork.

    For instance, I need to be able to make a 5 point star out of 16 pixel tubes, and later do a herringbone type pattern on a wall.

    interested to see where this goes.....

    Apparently its not going anywhere. Any ideas?

    can you not "break up" the fixtures into individual pixels with the appropriate fixture profile work?

    Guys, a very fast and quick way to speed this up is to put each type of pixel element in its own mix and rotate the mix. This is a quick and dirty way to avoid having to rewrite the xml.

    Todd, thanks for the workaround, I had not thought of that. Its not ideal, of course, and it's limited to 8 axis, but its a possible solution.

    As to individual pixels, sure its possible, but when I'm trying to sell catalyst as a solution and the client sees what's involved (48x16=768 pixels all radials out from a center point) that becomes a drawback.

    Let me know if you have any other issues. I have literally hundreds of workflows that speed up Catalyst solutions.

    As a solution you're selling the "magic" of it and any time eaten up reinventing the wheel reduce the magic.
