¡Hola, Pirojor Fireworks Design!

Entiendo que puede ser algo complicado crear este tipo de efecto. Esto es lo que yo haría para este cake. Nota: El truco es usar algo como “Silver Go Getter Horsetail” con otros términos de ajuste para lograr algo parecido al efecto de flying fish.

Thanks for the report! We have reproduced the issue and expect to have it fixed in the next beta release. This bug was inadvertantly introduced when we made some improvements to other kinds of effects. We think it only applies to angles for effects that use motion paths (tourbillions, whirls, go-getters, whistles, etc.). A new beta release with…Read More

Hi UNICUS Pyro/FX, welcome to the Finale 3D community! I love the photos in your gallery, looks like you’re doing some awesome shows. The “Track” column in the Finale 3D script window is used to fill both the ‘Sequence’ and ‘Sequence Name’ columns in fireTEK script files. You can unhide the Track column in the script window…
