Donny M. Carter Posted August 24, 2012 Share Posted August 24, 2012 Here's a peak at my 2012 Star. Using S3 to control 87 pixels (261 channels) from an E681. I also threw in a few Nutcracker effects in at the end! Enjoy!http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QcI65Ac02Nc&feature=share&list=UU2pvZt-cvqbRGB258-hVBjg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Donny M. Carter Posted August 25, 2012 Author Share Posted August 25, 2012 I'm using the E681 from SanDevices. A great pixel controller and it works really well with S3! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kelly jett Posted September 1, 2012 Share Posted September 1, 2012 great stari really like the layered effects that you were getting.i'm looking into some rgb this year. unfortunately i'm clueless about superstar. is it very time consuming..... what i mean should i try to learn dmx and superstar now or is it realistically too late in the year to get into it and do it any justice.i'm thinking about adding floods to do some whole house coloringany heads up would be appreciatedthanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arnoldc Posted September 1, 2012 Share Posted September 1, 2012 Donny-I got to say WOW! You did a great job taking in all the advantages of that one element and using the effects well! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donny M. Carter Posted September 1, 2012 Author Share Posted September 1, 2012 Kelly, it's never to late to learn SuperStar! I really like the software and the ease of creating great effects in seconds. RGB sequencing in S3 is just as easy, just a few extra channels!

Paul M Krupa Posted September 14, 2012 Share Posted September 14, 2012 Donny,I loved the star it is "super". I went to your web site to look at the construction it was great too. I got a little distracted by the C-7(opps stealing a thread) did you build all the base/bulb parts or just repurpose ?Keep up the great work I may want more info on the electronics of the star at some later date.Thanks,PMK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
