Brothers Posted March 23, 2023 Share Posted March 23, 2023 Hi GDTF We are struggling with the GTDF system. How to correctly connect the DMX to the Geometry. And why do we have to connect the DMX mapping/mode to the top level geometry, instead of the diffuser?

Petr Vanek - Robe Posted March 23, 2023 Share Posted March 23, 2023 Hello, you do this by linking a DMX Mode to a geometry tree root: Hope this helps, Kind regards Petr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David "Rex" Whalen Posted March 23, 2023 Share Posted March 23, 2023 A lot of modes on the fixture, and only a quick glance, but the only thing that seems a bit off is some of the Default DMX values for ColorsRGB. Some colors have a full 255 DMX as a default[green for example], seems this would leave green color attribute at FULL as default, causing physical output of Green as default. Also, polyon numbers seem a bit large on the source 3D model for such a simple 'shoebox' type fixture with a square source. The Body of the object with the heat sink fins looks like an enormous amount of polys/verts...and most likely doesn't need the level of detail the numbers generate. No ouput may be the type of geometry the 'Beam' 3D object is. Not 'normal' needs to be a 'Beam' for output. Good luck! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David "Rex" Whalen Posted March 23, 2023 Share Posted March 23, 2023 (edited) Try this as well for 'beam' output in visualizer...there shouldn't be any output until you parse the Geometry Type as a 'special' type, not just 'normal' 3D object.

Brothers Posted March 27, 2023 Author Share Posted March 27, 2023 Thanx David, I ran through all the defaults value, and yes they where all wrong, thanx for noticing 🙂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David "Rex" Whalen Posted March 27, 2023 Share Posted March 27, 2023 My pleasure, Brothers...enjoy 'programming' since I learnt Basic, so many summer fields ago in Computer Science class; the first such curriculum in my high school in `81, that's right; last century... I also have a very quick and detailed eye, gets things done, as they say...and under budget, ;). Stay healthy!! Rexy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
