thanks!

On the LOR forum, someone asked if i could do his avatar, it worked better than mine. I think fewer colors and simpler design probably convert.

Here was his


which became



so, if you want to post an image ( isuggest something less than 200x200), ill convert them and add them on to the web page.

The tool accepts jpg,png and gif
it auto sizes and projects on to the tree.

thanks

I have a feeling this may not convert well, but worth a try...

Thank you so much!  Now, if only I could afford the smart strings required to do this!

I agree with Steve Gase (from the other thread), you need to come up with a cool name for this tool!

I agree, my name sucks.

 I have signed up for the Academy, I may speak about rgbsb (or whatever) we call it by then. I expect i should have all three sequencers working. I hope  movies are done. I expect i will get the physics effects (snowstorms, fireworks, waves) finished.

I have an idea of how to sequence multiple effects one to the next. This sort of gets this to be more like a sequencer.

I'll let you in on a secret, it has always been my plan,for myself, to pass in a timeline with beats and create most of the rgb sequencing and then bring back the whole thing and use Vixen or LSP to sequence the rest of the front yard for the non rgb stuff.

In other words, i haven't envisioned this as one effect, one import. Another effect, another import. This vision is probably going to be done by end of summer or fall.

But who knows, sometimes things go faster than i expected.

I am open to any name.

So what would be a good name to replace rgbsb (A clunky name, i admit)?  Programmers are not marketing

As far as moving to my own group, that would be easier. Here is what i originally tried
1) i started working with vixen first so i start a thread.
2) Since tool is generic i post a link in the LSP group pointing over there. I say "My tool is generic"

Result, i get very little input from LSP folks.

Now this last week, i decide i will post in BOTH LSP and Vixen. The result? There are more views from LSP folks.

Being that my tool spans all the sequencers , i currently am posting the same message in 6 threads

Since i started the tool , there have been approx 3700 views on the threads.
Half of these view hits have occurred since releasing the new effects (I started Feb 21?, seems longer ago than that). Over the last 3 days, these are views per thread

PlanetChristmas: 129
DLA LSP Group:  371
DLA Vixen Group: 335
DoitYourselfChristmas: 634
LOR:   467
AusChristmas: 167


Here are the 6 threads i post to

If we could get our own group here on DLA i could get down to 5 threads from 6.

thanks

Well, since it would have some meaning to your family... Nutcracker.

Christmas-y name.  Kinda fits in with Vixen, Grinch, etc.

Your work is truly amazing.  I look forward to talking to you about your program at the academy in a few months.
Excellent and inspirational.  It will make RGB that much more amazing this christmas season

I look forward to buying you a beer in Texas

Four little words sum up what has lifted most successful individuals over the crowd: a little bit more. They did all that was expected of them and a little bit more.

Why not add another S to make it "4S" for SeanSmartStringSequencer
