smeighan Posted August 8, 2012 Share Posted August 8, 2012 (edited) You may think i dont read the "What would you like to see in Nutcracker?". Steve gase requested the ability to fade in and out the nutcracker effects last April 19th. Well Steve, you got it.Two new prompts on every effect (below the seq_duration) isFade In (in seconds)Fade Out (In seconds)0 seconds disables the fades. You will see when i add new values onto an effect your current effects will have these prompts, but they will be blank. A blank also disables fades so your effects will work as they did before.Note the animated gif does NOT reflect your fades. To save disk space, i only show one rotation of an effect and let it repeat in the gif. Your sequences might have 5-10 of these rotations pasted together. In summary: Fades will not show on the animated gif's even though they are present.Try pasting the effect into your sequencer (I am using lsp), the fades appear there as expected.This required a change to every effect class and to the large library of code. i have tested lms, vixen and lsp.. let me know if you see any issues.thanks Edited August 16, 2012 by LORAdmin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WilliamS Posted August 8, 2012 Share Posted August 8, 2012 Very cool, saves me the time of trimming them for the fades, so now we have fades, layers, reveresed layers, and text. What next? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What next?next is single string rgb effects.eaves, windows, arches and poles will get effect class to setup many different kinds of chases.pick the color of the on and off for the chase, choose the speed, choose whether it cyles once, bounces back, looks like a cyborg eyes .etc.i am doing this for my display but others might have use for it.Also i started coding Nutcracker 2.0 that will allow nutcracker effects to be synced to the exact frame of the music.

I haven't tried out Nutcracker yet, I don't have a mega tree this year (hopefully next year) but I am going to line my eaves and windows with pixels, and have some arches with CCR's. So these new effects will be super awesome! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WilliamS Posted August 9, 2012 Share Posted August 9, 2012 will it have a variable in speed, such as the chase starts slow and speeds up at the end or opposite? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
