Just a quick question. I see that the ground salutes are labeled as 3″ in the Pyrojam product inventory, What position would I put these in? Close proximity?   (DISREGARD, I JUST READ THROUGH THE FORUM AND FOUND THE ANSWER.)

Dirk is exactly right. the visual rack layouts and diagrams are a key feature of the Pro version, they aren’t available in Lite or Hobbyist.   – Lite has no concept or racks – Hobbyist lets you calculate the quantity of racks needed – Pro lets you calculate rack quantities, visually drag & drop racks, and print rack layout and site layout diagrams. In the future, Pro will also have 3D rack diagrams.

At the moment, there are no VDL terms for making white/grey smoke effects. Using the custom effect editor is the only way to adjust smoke.

Okay, then for now is there a VDL nomenclature for creating just white smoke? or do you have to go in and edit the parameters of the effect?

Hello everyone,   I’d like to show you my PyroJam entry.   https://youtu.be/RXwUoWsC7b8   I hope you’ll enjoy it!   Darrin Wolfs,   WP-FX Pyrodesign.

Hi Pyro_Gweedo,   the visual presentaion and layout of racks is oly available in the Pro Version. The Hobbyist version provides a list with the needed racks ! Dirk

Is this rack simulation also possible at the Hobbyist level ?  

Hey Curtis, great question. Finale 3D doesn’t have colored smoke at the moment, but we definitely plan to add it in the future.

In making smoke effects, is there specific syntax that can be used? I am thinking of 2 different smoke effects…   1) Colored Smoke “Palm” shells 2) Consumer colored smoke tubes (using them as a special effect in a show and want to know how to actually get a visual on what it will somewhat look like).

Hi Nico.LightB, thanks for letting us know. We are hoping that a future Nvidia driver update will resolve this issue. If not, we will explore ways to resolve it from our end. In the meantime, our best recommendation is to run a version of the driver that works properly.
