PyroDad started the topic Shells with “arms”
Hi,
Every now and then I run into shell descriptions such as’ ‘4″ Golden 8 arms w/ red crossette’ or ‘4″ Six Angle Gold Wave to Red’. How can I translate the “arms” or “angle” to VDL?
Thanks

PyroDad replied to the topic Bug in calculating cost?
Hi Drew,
Thanks for the answer. If I remember correctly, the wrong cost was shown at the lower right corner of the main simulation window. It looked to me that the subroutine displaying the cost interpreted the dot as a thousand separator or something like that.
If you cannot replicate this issue with the info above, I’ll try to generate…Read More

PyroDad started the topic Bug in calculating cost?
Hi,
I discovered a possible bug.
I have a show where I entered only the prices of the effects in the effects file, not the cost. I wanted to add also the cost which is 25% lower. So, what I did is that I exported the table to excel, created a formula to multiply the price by .75, and re-imported the output csv into the same effects file.…Read More

PyroDad started the topic Export .fdb from Shopify
Hi,
How could I export items from a Shopify webshop platform directly to a .fdb file? To my understanding it is possible to add custom functionality to Shopify platform by using JavaScript.
Thanks,

What about using AI to create VDL descriptions of complex cakes. finale3d.com web site would have a page where to upload or paste a link to a video of the cake or other effect. An AI engine would then be used to create the VDL.

PyroDad replied to the topic Racks & Filters & Angles
Hi,
Hmm. So, basically this means that not only the Hobby version lacks the graphical rack features, which is understandable , it also lacks the information about what effect is loaded into what tube and rack, which is disappointing and surprising. Would it be possible to add this feature to the Hobby version too? It is very difficult to…Read More

PyroDad started the topic Racks & Filters & Angles
Hi,
I would like to assign racks manually by selecting events from the Script windows and then selecting “Add racks for selected events”. That works. However, I cannot see what effects have already been assigned a rack in the Script window. Also, I would like to be able to use the assigned rack as a filter. Can this be fixed?
Additionally,…Read More

PyroDad replied to the topic VDL for a 44mm Ricasa single-shot “Lightning” effect
Thanks Drew. I enabled the Ricasa catalog. However, I found an error in one of their effects. That is part number 044020294 44 MM WHITE W/RED TIP MOTORS MINE. The effects flies to 80m but should fly to 40m. What would be the best process to report this to Ricasa? Also, if you have any tips on how to do a quick fix for this effect, that would be…Read More

PyroDad started the topic VDL for a 44mm Ricasa single-shot “Lightning” effect
Hi fellow addicts,
How would you simulate the Ricasa 44mm “Red|Green|Yellow|White Lightning” single-shot effect with VDL? I’ve been trying all kind of options without getting close.
Starting at 1:04 or so.
Thanks.

PyroDad replied to the topic Single-shot rack, fixed tube angles bug?
Hi,
Ok. Let’s share a few more details.
As can be seen from the picture included, I have tried to create three different single shot racks. One with -30 angle, other with 30 angle and third with 0 angle. Looking at the VDL column, the 0 angle does not show up. When Finale3d assigns effects in the show to racks, it assign effects with -30…Read More

PyroDad replied to the topic Introductions – introduce yourself!
Hi all,
Greetings from Finland. It’s so dark and cold here up north that I felt an urge to light up the sky some ten years ago or so. I needed a new hobby. I started by reading a ton of books and online material, then moved to making black powder, fountains, shells, roman candles, waterfalls etc. After 4-5 years of doing that I felt like…Read More

Pyro_38170000 started the topic Single-shot rack, fixed tube angles bug?
Hi all,
I hope you had a great X-Mas.
I run into some strange behavior while trying to add a “Single-shot rack, fixed tube angles” with Number of rows=1, Number of tubes=9, Row tilt=0. I’m able to add the rack but it does not work as expected. If I set Row tilt=30 (as an example) it works just fine. Thus, I suspect that we might have a bug…Read More
