mgeasey@clearallvisualsllc.com Posted December 22, 2019 Share Posted December 22, 2019 Hey Y'all, Is it possible to create a linear fixture output from a single source without having to utilize numerous beam sources? Cheers! MattG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dmueller Posted January 3, 2020 Share Posted January 3, 2020 Hi Matt, I am not sure if I understand you right. Do you want to create a beam with a non-circular shape coming from a non-circular origin? Kind regards, Daniel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mgeasey@clearallvisualsllc.com Posted January 3, 2020 Author Share Posted January 3, 2020 Hey Man! Correct, an example that I was using would be the Solaris Flare LR, which in it's simple modes is only one beam output and it doesn't make sense to utilize 12x beams to accomplish this as it just adds unncessary processing onto the visualizer. Maybe some sort of asymetrical scaling for the beam? Thoughts? Cheers! MattG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dmueller Posted January 7, 2020 Share Posted January 7, 2020 The Geometry Type Beam can have every shape you want (with a custom 3ds file). For the beam itself: Currently, the GDTF specification does only have properties to describe a beam origin that is circular (Geometry Type "Beam" Property "BeamRadius" - Description: Beam radius on starting point. Default Value: 0.05; Unit: meter.). Properties to describe other shapes of beam origin are on the list. At the moment I would create a rectangular Geometry Type "Beam" to represent the combined surface of the LED output. Unfortunately, the beam origin and the beam itself would be circular.

mgeasey@clearallvisualsllc.com Posted January 7, 2020 Author Share Posted January 7, 2020 Hey Dan! Thanks for the info on this, are there any ideas in the pipeline to look into something like this? Cheers! MattG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dmueller Posted January 15, 2020 Share Posted January 15, 2020 Hey MattG, next will be the definition of a rectangle beam shape. Cheers, Daniel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tk11de Posted May 25, 2020 Share Posted May 25, 2020 when will the next update be? I guess many fixtures depends on that! For example if you try to create a strobe (like the Martin Atomic, Clay Paky Stormy or GLP JDC)...its impossible to create a fixture this way!
