Congratulations to all three finalists. Looking forward to seeing them in August!   Out of curiosity, how many entries used the wheel, how many used the towers, how many used the LFMs, and how many did none?

I would also like to be able to make separate catalogues for the effects I create!

Hi Madness Fireworks, I'm sorry, the reflective water doesn't currently work very well with 3D Google Maps.   When using a 2D Google Map, adding water cuts away the map image. Unfortunately, it doesn't currently work this way for 3D Google Maps models.   To get the water to appear when using a 3D map, you'll need to lower the model height using the '3D map height offset' setting in the Google Maps dialog. However, when you do this, you will find that water will be shown on all the 3D map surfaces that are below the ground level. There's a chance you may be able to get it to look good if the body of water in your show location is lower than the other terrain. If not, you may end up with water being shown on land where you don't want it. You can give it a try, just know that the water doesn't work well with 3D Google Maps at the moment.

Hi Richard, sorry to hear about the trajectory dots issue. We haven't made any changes in this area, and we don't currently have any similar reports from other users. The setting NEC mentioned is a good starting point. Another thing to try would be starting a new blank show and adding an effect to see if the problem persists. That will tell us if the problem is specific to a particular show or applies to every show on your machine. Hopefully the problem only applies to a particular show because machine specific issues are often the hardest to troubleshoot.

Hi everyone, I'm Martin from the West Midlands, England.   So a little about me and my world of pyro, I lit my first firework at the age of 4, then fascination just grew over many, many years, from small backyard shows "a box of fireworks and the occasional sparkler" to ever increasing scales of madness.... Back in 1993 I was given the chance to be part of a professional show at my local football ground and from there on I was totally hooked.   From that first moment until now I have had the privilege to work on and be part of over 1600 professional shows and from 2017 I have had the incredible opportunity to move into the international world of pyro, working in places such as, Germany, Poland, Italy, Spain, Vietnam, Philippines, South Korea, Saudi Arabia, Dubai, Abu Dhabi.   I first started using Finale 3d way back in it's infancy when I ran my own fireworks company, sadly that ended back in 2020 due to "you know what" but now a new opportunity has arisen so I find my interests turning more to the inner workings of shows such as pyromusical design but I still love getting my hands dirty, that will always be my main pyro love.   It certainly is a massive learning curve from the first baby fountain so many years ago to working in Dubai for NYE but what an exciting journey it is and hope there will be many more years of excitement to come.   Thank you to the Finale team and all they do and wishing everyone on here all the very best on their pyro adventures.

Congratulations to the winners, all three shows are stunning and wishing each design all the very best when they become a reality in August and shoot it out to become the 2025 PyroJam champions. Sadly mine wasn't up to the levels I had hoped but what a brilliant experience for me and all the creative designers that took part. Thank you Tim and Drew and everyone that made this unique competition possible.
