Nutcracker tutorial Nov 7th. New major feature, filtering for random effect

[smeighan]

What: Nutcracker Tutorial:

When: Thursday, Nov 7th. 7pm MST (Denver Time) . 9pm EST, 6pm PST

 

 

Agenda:

We have a new developer added to Matt Brown, Frankr, Dave Pitts: Don Julien (djulien). Don has gone and did an extensive modification that will allow you to filter every slider and check box on the Nutcracker screen. This is going to change how you use the random effect generator. Now you can mark a block of your song, say 10 rows and have only those rows created with all spirals when random effects is clicked.

 

You can use this new feature to set every effect to teh same brightness level, say 66%.

 

You can use it to only select from a certain palette of colors and many more features.

 

Tune in this week if you want to see how this can help you create blocks of effects that are tied together.

 

I wanted to get Don's code out to all of you as i think it will help, i know i will be using it for my Christmas sequences.

I am now going back and continuing to work on the single strand effects.
