NEWTOUR Posted January 18, 2018 Share Posted January 18, 2018 Ok so i have been tasked by my church to fabricate an RGB Cross for Easter. I have attached a pic of what they are looking for. I am looking for some experience pointers and suggestions on this as I just used pixel nodes for the first time this year, so still a complete rookie on this front. 1) I was thinking of using strips(maybe nodes) 2) Pex to be able to give the color fade effect 3) should I use SS or Pixel Editor to Sequence? Which is easier to create that effect. They would like it ti pulse in and out from center, up/down, & left to right. ( no idea how to do this yet, or if possible) Thank you for any support and or recommendations here. Thanks again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NEWTOUR Posted January 18, 2018 Author Share Posted January 18, 2018 Thought I would add that I was thinking of going 3-4 strips wide each way Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

k6ccc Posted January 19, 2018 Share Posted January 19, 2018 You did say how large, although the missing photo may have answered that one. As for #3, either SS or PE could do what you’re talking about. Personally I would use SuperStar, but that’s primarily because that’s what I’m comfortable with.

wt1924 Posted January 19, 2018 Share Posted January 19, 2018 I copied his design. You can put smart pixels instead of dumb ones. With this design you have an inside cross and an outside cross. Or maybe make one cross and do the inside /outside effect with smart pixels. His pictures explain. Made from coro. http://teamg4.org/gallery/rgb-cross/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let me look into this. I thought I had attached it the first time? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NEWTOUR Posted January 19, 2018 Author Share Posted January 19, 2018 Dimensions are 10" X 4.5' and 3 strips wide for each length Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheDucks Posted January 19, 2018 Share Posted January 19, 2018 3 hours ago, NEWTOUR said: This looks like it is cylindrical. I see 5 stripes on the cross bar alone (i assume there are 3 more on the back side), and over a foot in dia. Did I mis-read your goal as 4.5" wide? I would say Strips not pushed to full bright for color line definition. Do others agree with my guess? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NEWTOUR Posted January 19, 2018 Author Share Posted January 19, 2018 Well we will actually just be attaching to our cross in the sanctuary, but that is all dependent on cost. I am hoping to get the same look from just three vertical and three horizontal as the cross is recessed between support beams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NEWTOUR Posted January 19, 2018 Author Share Posted January 19, 2018 Oh yeah and correction it will be 5" wide beams and 4.5' across Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
