Hi Tristan, all versions of Finale 3D (Lite, Hobbyist and Pro) will display both Cost and Price values on the Product Totals rep…

Thanks, it worked perfectly here.

Hi Enzo – Vision Show, welcome to the Finale 3D forum!

At the moment, creating a five-pointed star requires making a custom 2D break pattern using the effect editor. To create the shell, you start with another effect, such as a peony, and then you draw the break pattern, as shown in the screenshot below.

Here is the custom simulation text…Read More

thank you!

Hey Pyro_344290000, girandolas and other “moving effects” are a somewhat clunky and handled in a special way compared to other effects.

Moving effects are animated using parameters that are stored in the “Effect Data” column in the script widow. The effects window doesn’t include this column, which is why the girandola breaks when you try to…Read More

Hi Walker Pyrotechnics, I feel your pain! Unfortunately, there’s currently no way to control the sort order of the effect collections/catalogs in the effects window drop-down list. However, I’ve added it to our roadmap as a future improvement. Thanks for posting!

You can use a “break” node in the effect editor to create this kind of motion when the stars transition from one phase to another. Here’s a screenshot of the tree structure in the effect editor:

Below is the custom simulation. To use the effect, copy the text including the curly braces { } at each end. Then, in Finale 3D, go to Effects…Read More

I think this is interesting. Apart from standardizing the behavior (with a pattern that is familiar), I think the reduction in the number of effects to scroll through is a win (everything adds up). I wouldn’t expect the range of values to be wide (not sure my flame machines would run for 10 seconds 😀), but I can definitely see the benefit of being…Read More

I tried creating this effect. I works great in my test show where I made and copied it to My effects. When I then insert it in my show it just becomes a flame shoot up. If I directly create it in the show it will works fine, but it seems to want a que for each of the sperate items that make up the effect. So how do I address this. Just address one…Read More

Hi,

Sorry late reply…

All good now! Installed the latest full release.
