Title: Any solutions or work arounds to define "Lights/Node" for custom models?
Post by: ndonnelly81 on November 25, 2021, 06:03:43 AM

Anyone have a solution or work around for the fact that there isn't a spot to define "Lights/Node" for custom models?

I have a lot of custom models using pixel strips which have 3 lights per node. My non-custom models/models that Im able to define this for, look better in real world playback.

lmk, thx!

Lights / node doesnt effect the sequence .. it is purely visual in the house preview. No harm not having it set to 3.

For custom models, it's not needed.   Just put the same node number in the model grid multiple times.  That way you can get them oriented and positioned as you need them.

Copy that, thanks for the reply.

Not sure why I thought it looked better in real life. Could have sworn the meteor,  twinkle and similar effects looked smaller and more spread out but maybe it was just wishful thinking... If I could go back in time, I never would have bought a single pixel strip!  :-\

thanks again guys!
