Hi PyroWalker, when you say all the angles are wrong, could it be visual distortion, like a “fish-eye” lens effect? It’s normal for effects that are the far left and right side of the Design window to angle inward somewhat on account of the perspective in the 3D environment. If you don’t think this is what you’re seeing, take a screenshot and post it here so we can see exactly what you’re seeing on your end.

I have a template with 9 front positions and I am attempting to put in comets. However, the angles are all wrong. When they should be at Zero, they are clearly angled by 5 degrees, thus throwing everything off. I have tried re-creating the positions and nothing is working to make this correct. Before I drive myself crazy, what am I doing wrong? Also, this seems only to be my front positions, as my other positions are centered fine. Any help?  

Hi Noé,   Dirk is exactly right, press Ctrl+G on your keyboard to create a new effect, then enter “Popcorn Crackle”.

Please try popcorn crackle as vdl term   Dirk

Hello Drew,   Thank you for your help ! Sorry I forgot to upload the video,   here it is:     Thank you, Noé.    

Hi Noé,   Happy to help! Do you have a video of the effect you are trying to create? For example, if you have a YouTube link, you can paste it right here in the forums.

Hi,     I ask for your help because I can’t create this effect, do you know what name it has on finale? Or what settings should I make?         Thanks very much !     Noé

Hi Moisesmle, great question! We streamlined and added new options to the ‘Make into fan’ dialog. This makes it possible to make fans that weren’t possible before and it also changed the process for making some firing patterns. To make asymmetrical fans, use fan dialog to make a normal or an inward fan, then drag the trajectory dots in the design window to get the desired final results. Here’s a quick video:
