    I am creating a database of my effects and want to get everything into the database that I can.

     

    The item I want to create is a Gerb that last for 40.00 seconds, starts as a gold gerb and at about the 20.00 second mark, changes to a silver gerb. I think the gerbs are like 30mm and would need a 0.2 pft for sure to get the sparks rolling.

     

    I’ve tried using a single VDL, and I’ve tried creating 2 gerbs, overlapping them, and turning them into a “cake” but that doesn’t seem to work either.

    I did try the “make into a cake effect” like you did, but that doesn’t really work.

    OK, try this — made in effect editor, you could tweak it from there

    NEC, nicely done!

     

    Curtis B, to use this custom sim in Finale 3D, copy the text including the curly braces { } at each end, then go to ‘Effects > Create effect’ and paste in the text by pressing Ctrl+V on your keyboard.
