Software > Nutcracker: RGB Effects Builder

Nutcracker: What effects would you like to see?

<< < (2/20) > >>

jnealand:
My window frames are one continuous string and I have 4 of them across the house all identical in size.  I'm thinking I could create a "tree"  with 4 strings and use effects like meteors, snowfall, etc.  This config would not do much with spirals or butterfly type stuff though.

Can effects be created for RGB window frames?

I would assume the end user would need to enter the number of nodes for two sides (like top and one side). To allow for a square or rectangle window.

Thanks

Register or LoginAs I prepare to build additional Coroflakes, I have wondered about how effects would be applied to my target model.  Since a tree is basically a grid laid over a conical surface, would I just use the tree's (or ray's) target model as a starting point until I import the geometries that describe my coroflake pixels?

Even then, I think the effects mighy be missing...  the effects that I think would be well-suited to a circular arrangement of pixels are more along the line of spirals, moving concentric circles the emit from a center point, or moving 'spokes' that rotate around that center point.

...just planting seeds to see if any take root.

question:  are there similar effects already available for the matrix model?

Hi Steve;

As u know the nutcracker effects all are created two different ways
1: I model rgb device and use a math equation to findthe nearest pixel.
Spirals
2: develop a math function that returns a value based on x,y parameters
Butterfly
3: just base effect off of strand and pixel.
Meteors, snowstorm,animated gifs,garlands

I am trying to create more effects using methods 2  and 3 because they don't care about the physical dimensions.

So.  ...
Meteors, for example, just needs strands and pixels to work. No x,y,z locations are used. Build a target model that takes your device and maps it into nutcracker strands and pixels and the effects work.

Having said all that, I do plan on building effects specifically ozone web targets

A) if I get the budget, I want to build a coro from holiday coro. If I do get one of those, I will creeate a whole effect class that will optimize effects just for the star
B) I want to build rgb arches. If I do ( time and money) I will createanothereffect class just for arches. I am thinking of linking multiple arches together and sequencing them as on unit.
C) i want to build frames around my windows, if I do I will add another effect class for them.

Others I was thinking of adding to was a Marty fan, poles, snowfall tubes

Thanks

Wow, all those things would be great!

I like to see CANADA flag   Thank

A couple of effects that would be nice to see.

- a standard spin by color with or without a background or second color
- a random effect that would just make some percentage of the bulbs turn on and off randomly for a period of time  probably could include a percentage of bulbs lit at any given instant and maybe a background color.  Picture a green tree with random twinkling colors in it.
