Creating a Fixure in GDTF

[Brothers]

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?

Hello,

you do this by linking a DMX Mode to a geometry tree root:

 

Hope this helps,

Kind regards

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!

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.

Thanx David, I ran through all the defaults value, and yes they where all wrong, thanx for noticing 🙂

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!!
