Hi Kevin,   Here's a custom sim for a 65' Gerb Mine / Sparkle Cannon:   {1KLUv/WBhAVUKANQMswQKFiU+37o/LZqZmUE9ZmaeQRKWBBLwAXACnkEVZmaeQTgHQroBKg4N8KfGPRWq8dIyDg0K1yM8OpcBEpRBCz8V9EELQDj4wjwVJeQDkELgK0VaRwpFCjgVJ6AJOi0AQJxFNQDAWkXNzMw9egBtqvHSPRKgAnACCgQwAkKHAioyQmDlOzoAIuIBWwoODZWKsz4VlYqzPgJqAEABYjkqMjoXCqBBHQsfGz8lCx+bAiJ5CgRqAGJhKj8Kj8L1PBWPwvU8AHoAbbgehT0aACYAOcsRgJ+NMqAV5pBxca1rVK84BDuCNbA+iBjm/zi6+3AVaubnFS24PvjTr0KhASNmU2r3cq0XbCtqcWWinqVGgGyHHbS9rgTUXvI0aOd5lpqDp2UIT2x9w9PaHCQfBKlkK6wQNjEy1i0XuQFYJr9viLYWUy2j5Mc8QA==}   Copy the text above including curly braces { }, then do Ctrl+G in Finale 3D to bring up the create new effect dialog, then do Ctrl+V to paste the text into the input description.

The break-world-flashes, ground lighting for launches, and water reflections are the only types of scenery lighting at the moment. It's not yet possible for a star or other effect to illuminate the scene. We plan to add more lighting capabilities in the future.

I see some nice lighting on breaks, and on ground flashes and muzzles, but is there a good way to edit VDL for a very bright comet to have the light move with the main star tip?

Edited because I found the file.....

Can anyone recommend a catalog that contains a Sparkle Cannon effect or share a custom-built one? Here are two examples. We will be using the Evolution Sparkle Cannon X-Wide. Although NEXTFX sells a Sparkle Cannon, I searched for one in their catalog but could not find one.   https://www.next-fx.com/pyrotechnics-products-28   https://evolution-pyrotechnics.com/evolution-sparkle-cannon-x-wide-35-2/   Thanks for the help.   Kevin

Rendering Video -SUBTITLES_ Wishing to have the possibility to define subtitles which will occur in the rendering. We want to need it for short description what a customer see in the rendering. For example: "12 Positions with Comets" or similar. In my imagination it see a feature like "Add subtitle at current position" which draws a line into the timeline and adds a row into scriptwindow. Then in scriptwindow we are able to define the string for the subtitle. Maybe with the description column. The Adress should be locked per default and should also be not unlockable to solve conflicts with the adressing procedure.  

In the fan creation tool, it would be very helpful to be able to either define a total range (as it works now) or start/end angles so asymmetric fans can be created more easily.

Thanks!  I guess I'm blind and missed the Safety Distance Meters option right where is should be!

Hi Marius, this question was answered here: https://finale3d.com/groups/english/forum/topic/pyrojam-2023-official-discussion-topic/page/5/#post-1490557   The only confirmation is the message displayed directly on the competition submission page. We will contact you if we have any trouble with the WeTransfer link or your show file. Given the number of show submissions and the show submission deadline of March 4, 2023, it's just not possible for us to check each show to provide individual feedback on whether the show meets all the competition requirements. We would hate to see an excellent show be disqualified because of a rules violation, but we have to rely on competitors to take responsibility for ensuring their shows meet the competition requirements. If you show is not in the top three and therefore doesn't make it to the live competition, you can reach out for feedback as described in this post: https://finale3d.com/groups/english/forum/topic/pyrojam-2023-official-discussion-topic/page/6/#post-1507551
