LarryDrumAZ Posted December 12, 2010 Share Posted December 12, 2010 Anyone dabbled with this yet? Just trying to figure out if there is a way, other than the standard "Fan" to draw a spiral tree, to get a sense of what it will look like, rather than setting it up and having to change sequences because it doesn't look right. Thanks all!Larry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jerryb721 Posted December 12, 2010 Share Posted December 12, 2010 I haven't quite figured it out yet myself, but you can draw a top view of spirals to see how they spin. I would like to see a side view in the visualizer as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zman Posted December 13, 2010 Share Posted December 13, 2010 I just use this picture below. My spiral is only 11' tall and uses 16 channels. The inner squares you are seeing are balls and strobes I have on the inside.Each purple block has 2 channels represented. This works for me.

jimswinder Posted December 13, 2010 Share Posted December 13, 2010 I drew something in the animation...but until I saw it "live" on my actual tree, I had NOOOO idea what it would look like or how to sequence it to make it look good.Make yourself a "small" spiral tree in your backyard and hook your controllers up to it...no sense taking all the time to sequence a lot of songs based on an animation then realize it looked nothing like you thought it would...

basis21b Posted December 13, 2010 Share Posted December 13, 2010 I used this as an example for my visualizer. I wish I could recall if I captured this image from this forum or not. My apologies to the original designer/poster for using this and not providing credit. Attached files Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Showalter Posted March 21, 2011 Share Posted March 21, 2011 I really had to visualize the 20 ft. Weber tree I made last year in my mind as I sequenced. After it was built and in the front yard I was completely amazed at how well the sequencing went. I traced a photo of that tree to give you an idea of what a side view of a 16 channel Weber tree would look like. Now I have to figure out how the visualizer software works so I can start using it for this year. Going from 32 to 128 channels presents a bit of a learning curve.

jimswinder Posted March 21, 2011 Share Posted March 21, 2011 Nice!!!Will have to try and add this to my visualizer!!Unless of course the NEW LOR visualizer will have an option that automatically makes a Weber tree for you!!!*hint hint**Brian...Dan says to get to work on this RIGHT away...right after you have finished the new SUPER STAR software for the CCB's!!!

My apologies to the original designer/poster for using this and not providing credit.I'll have to take credit for the visualizer pic that was originally seen in another forum. Since then, I added a vertical component. So I've included a partial view of what my animation screen looks like for a spiral, the left shows the side view and the right is the top view.For purposes of this pic only, I used purple for channel 2, and yellow for channel 3 (these colors used only to show the two different channels for this example; they're really white). The pixels follow the same lines shown in Mark's drawing above. When a song is running in the editor, I can tell pretty much tell what the final result will look like, much better than the top view only.Richard Attached files 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jerryb721 Posted March 22, 2011 Share Posted March 22, 2011 Here is a sequence file I made to help me do spirals.It's 16 channels and has animation that show the spiral movements.The tree is similar to the picture Mark S. posted above, but a not as tall since I made my spiral trees 7ft tall.I think I posted one similar a while ago, but give it a look if you are interested.

Mwhite7097 Posted April 4, 2011 Share Posted April 4, 2011 A simple visualizer of a 32 channel spiral. 16 channels for the single color spiral and 16 channels for the mega spinning tree. Attached files conegraphic2.las Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Showalter Posted April 18, 2011 Share Posted April 18, 2011 I took the line drawing I posted earlier and put it in the visualizer. This 16 channel Weber tree gives you a pretty good look at what the side view would look like with various standard animations. Hope this helps.Realize each of the 16 channels are a different shade of white to grey. The darker the channel the harder it is to see in the animation.
