Virtual dimmer for pixel bar

[vixzy]

Hi!

 

The company i work for has just bought a LED bar with 20 pixels RGBW. 

One of the modes on the bar is 80 channels, wich is 4 channels rgbw for each pixels.

 

Instead of just having just RGBW controll it would be nice to have a virtual dimmer to controll them. Either for the entire fixture or for each pixel.

 

I have tried to add a virtual dimmer to the main fixture and also per pixel but I can't get it to work.

What would be the correct way to add a virtual dimmer to controll the pixels?

Thanks! This was the part I had missed!

Was no fun to add it to a 80ch rgbw profile tho!

Great! If it was too much work, Geometry References might have been used, to define the section (geometry and it's properties) only once and then re-use it as many times as needed:

Or you can also use the Geometry Arrange/Multiply tool. It can multiply regular geometries and also geometry references...
