Little_b Posted January 10, 2017 Share Posted January 10, 2017 Thought I'd share a link to the entire show. It's always fun to see what others have done and what ideas you can steal, I mean, borrow, I mean learn from others. Enjoy 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dibblejr Posted January 10, 2017 Share Posted January 10, 2017 Yes, very nice. Is the huge matrix on the roof HC flexible/ roll up stuff or did you use other materials. I'm not gonna steal your idea, maybe learn from you! JR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How do you think they would look at 160' that's distance between my street and home? I was looking at their site and just couldn't determine. Is that a custom size or did you buy several of the larger ones and combine? All of my friends are trying to convert meLOL Thank you JR Edited January 11, 2017 by dibblejr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The definition looks a lot better than I would have thought 3" spacing would be? How many sheets is that? FYI an alternative to the HC net is Boscoyo matrix panels Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the future they will migrate to a P10 matrix and I will use video content. Using xLights for most of my stuff. The Boscoyo matrix panel will be used for my marquee.

brichi Posted August 17, 2017 Share Posted August 17, 2017 I'm still trying to figure out a way to get talking things onto my tree by drawing them in SS, its hard to get when your not an artist, lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caniac Posted August 18, 2017 Share Posted August 18, 2017 does SS allow you to snap in GIF's? On xLights I find a GIF that comes close then paste it and tell it to loop however long it needs to loop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure there's an easier way, esp. with SS, but here is how I did it. Using Paint.net I created a Picture file of the trees and mouths. I first adjust the canvas size to match my matrix so each square in Paint lines up with a pixel on my matrix. I then copied the pixel assignments of my matrix into excel so I could see exactly where the tree lights were lighting up and where I wanted to put the mouths. I then created some groups of channels in SE with specific DMX assignments to create the mouths and sequence them in SE. Normal Singing trees has one channel for the top lip, one channel for the bottom, one for the "oo",, etc. In mine the Top Lip is a group with 15 RGB channels, one for each Pixel. The same for each style of mouth. I just had to copy the sequence command for each pixel in each mouth. I used a technic I found from Bob-O https://vimeo.com/75183607 and adjusted it to fit how I could understand it. Then I migrated the SE sequence into PE which created a "movie" Effect of the mouth sequence, and I added the tree picture with no mouths using the picture effect to the Matrix Prop. This is a little wordy, but I hope it helps, if not let me know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TonyD Posted August 19, 2017 Share Posted August 19, 2017 Great job. I like how you have the drip tubes in different channels with horizontal layers. Allows for a very cool effect. Never thought of doing that I might have to *cough* borrow that one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
