Matt; mkeeps getting better and better.
A couple of things.
When I create layers, your effect 2 is not the same as effect 1
Bars, Butterfly, Garlands and spirals are not animated, they are static. I set layers to effect 2, they are not moving. If i layer them or average them, the second effect is not moving.
The same settings for effect 1 and effect 2 produce different animations on meteors, text , snowflakes
In my Text effect, line1 uses color 1 and line2 uses color2, you use color1 for both.
In my single strand effect, i do not require the strings you use to be the same size.
You could have a 30 pixel, 50 pixel and a 70 pixel string giving 200 total pixels. You then can divide that 200 pixel mega string into multiple segments , say 50 pixels each, for four segments. I allow you to put a different effect on each segment. This flexibility allows things like wrapping a firestick, building a snowman, animating the tack on a horse.
Is there a way to see the channel assignments in the model? I only see string and node number. My 20x120 megatree starts on channel 857. I wanted to see that that has been done.
Maybe another button to show
channel# String# Node#
I would use this when i am laying out my hardware. I would not think that i would care about nodes 1 to 2400 but instead nodes 1 to 120 for each string. If a person is wrapping a string into 3 strands, probably easier to count the nodes and know where the folds are if it is a count of 1 to max nodes on a string. Maybe others would perfer the 1 to 2400 count instead of 1 to 120 (in my case)
so for my setup
857 1 1
858 1 2
..
977 2 1
978 2 2
.etc.
looks great!
thanks
