Nutcracker Help
« on: December 15, 2013, »
New to nutcracker since I did not think I would be added any RGB this year.  We cane across 16 strings of 50 nodes that I am putting on my Mega Tree.  What I would like to know first so I can turn the tree on is how to make a sequence with the tree all random colors to look like a Christmas tree.  Then add a twinkle effect of white.  This would allow me to get the tree on and then I could start learning nutcracker to add more things.


Thank You

Todd

Use the twinkle effect and then add sparkles - one of the sliders on the bottom left.  You have to play with the two sliders to see what looks best.

In playing around tonight I did find the twinkle effect and figured it out.  The one thing I have not found yet is how to turn all the lights on with random colors.

we dont have an effect that will create a random color , twinkle it and then on the same node create the next twinkle to be a different color.

we can add this for next year

Can you combine twinkle and butterfly mask to get multi twinkle?

That somewhat works but what I am actually looking for is a static Christmas tree with the strobe effect added.


Thanks

Todd
