timmy Posted June 22, 2011 Share Posted June 22, 2011 I would love if someone would be willing to share any sequences they have completed that have a spiral tree in them. I am attempting to add a spiral tree this year and am having a hard time grasping the concept of timings with this tree. Any help is GREATLY appreciated.Thanks in advance, Timmy.

George Simmons Posted June 22, 2011 Share Posted June 22, 2011 Another good idea is to download yourself a good Weber tree visualization to use while sequencing. There have been a few good ones posted on these pages. (Jim will provide the link shortly) You'll find they're actually easier to sequence than they might appear.

timmy Posted June 22, 2011 Author Share Posted June 22, 2011 Thanks for the quick help. I used your drawing idea to get it in my animator Jim. I am trying to have the three colors on the tree. This will use 48 channels? I want to be able to match the rest of my display as it changes from blue, white, and multi. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EARLE W. TALLEY Posted June 22, 2011 Share Posted June 22, 2011 Many have ask, how do you program a spiral tree? My answer, is the same as a regular mega tree with the same number of points, mine have 16 each. This can be seen in a video that I have on VIMEO that shows a mega tree and a spiral tree that has the same programming, it was a copy and paste from one to the other without any changes. Here is that link:http://vimeo.com/18111061Earle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(ie...all colors together vs Quad 1 r, g, b, w; Quad 2, r g, b, w, etc)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
