TJ Hvasta Posted November 3, 2011 Share Posted November 3, 2011 We've all seen videos of MegaTrees chasing up and down as well as around, JB had posted a vid from SeaWorld that had MT's vertically wrapped..(CCR's and LED matrix' notwithstanding) I'm wondering how the wrapping actually goes, as the tree gets smaller, how would you keep the light density the same (or close). Use shorter light counts going up, 100's then 70's then 50's? I can see the wraps at the base would have to involve many more strings to get the band thickness the same as you go around the wider base.. say.. 1'-2' layers. Then use a lesser amount of strings going up.. just wondering.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JBullard Posted November 3, 2011 Share Posted November 3, 2011 No, Those trees use full length (top to bottom only) pixel strings from Stellascapes.10,000 RGB pixels, 30,000 channels. Each RGB pixel is individually controlled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
james campbell Posted November 3, 2011 Share Posted November 3, 2011 what do you think one of those trees would go for? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am sure Sea World got a good deal with Stellascapes being the quantity of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everything is a custom quote.I have seen prices for their consumer products. (pixel strings and controllers) I will try to find them.Found it:85 node pixel string $129Node Controller (4 strings) $199Pwr supply per controller $ 24Note these are the consumer grade products and the prices listed may not be currentEDIT: Found commercial prices:85 node pixel string $185Node controller (4 strings) $319Of course, installation and prigramming is extra. 74 trees are in the video.

No "official" word that Stellascapes did this project.I shouldn't have used their name in my first post or on the pricing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
