Is there any way to program a light fade in and out for the dmx lights?

Not in F3D.

Also keep in mind, that most firing systems, if they do not have implemented a fade, might have an issue with the number of “cues” it would generate to create a fade without the firing system having a specific feature for…

is there anyway to create the DMX show file made in a visualizer program and then export that file on top of the timeline in finale?

No. Visualizer work completely differently. It is a virtual rig, you send DMX data to the the visualizer and renders what you do in real time. It is a replacement for testing on hardware,…Read More

The simulations for “Move-To” function do not work yet. The export works but for simulation in F3D we have to wait for a future update.

You have to export the script to your firing system of choice and test it either with an actual machine (in this case I assume a waveflamer) or use a pre-viz tool such as Depence 2…Read More

I would just search for the partnumber in the show and replace with the “new” effect. (Select new effect window, and select all of the old in the script window and press Y)

Could you please include a youtube link?

Since factories can have many different names for the same effect and the same name for different effects, a video makes it a bit easier to help.

I have for example used “Blue Peony w/ Rising Silver Tourbillion” (replace Blue peony with the effect you need) and “Silent Silver Fish” respectively.

It looks like you have entered a high effect height and a low PFT.

It is generally an improvement. I like the “hot dogs” for things that you filter on a few things.

My main issue with it (I think it is a bug), is if I clear the search field it also clears the quantity filter. See pictures.

The other is that it is a is you use it with position, a clear all would be helpful. But generally, for position, a…Read More

You can generate that with the instructions I linked.

Hi guys,

i am just designing a finale bigger show. A lot of effect in a small time and i have to pick up the positions manually . Building a huge number of groups is not an always an option because it takes space and you have to search. So i have to change to the top view and select the effects , but it is not a…

Personally I would use “virtual positions” in this scenario and also make sure the addresses are not overlapping.

Addresses automatically do not overlap in the procedure explained by Drew since it is done after addressing. But to not waste modules and get gaps of unused outputs within a module you also have to tell F3D to split the products bet…Read More

Hi Bruce,

My general tip for finding things in the f3d documentation is to ctrl+f(or cmd+f) when looking at the table of content. If you search for “multi” in the table of content menu, you get 5 hits and it is rather obvious which one is the one you were looking for.

The documentation is very comprehensive, and there are few “hidden”…Read More

Hi!

As a note, you can also always filter in the search window. I use this a lot for filtering on all kinds of columns all of the time.

search for:

notes = “equal to somthing”

notes != “not equal to something

Hi!

The picture is not very clear, is it a quarter Peony?

If it is, it is possible, I have a small python script for it. https://github.com/kses/F3D-Custom-Pattern-Helper

It is not super user friendly, what caliber do you need it for?
