Need direction change for 'Butterfly, circles and others
« on: April 28, 2014, 07:53:35 PM »
Some of the effects in nutcracker have 'direction change' such as bars, spirals, curtain and meteors. However other effects such as butterfly, circles and garland do not have a 'direction change' and only operate in one direction. 

I made a 'parallel' tree topper that uses rigid pixel strips and made a beautiful tree topper star. It uses two separate models or 'parallel universes'. While one 'star or 'model' is moving in one direction, I would like the other 'star' to move in the opposite direction. I have this with spirals, bars and meteors but it would look so cool if the 'direction' of these other effects could  could be reversed also.

Also, if one 'direction' of butterfly was operating in effect 1, the other 'direction' could be operating in effect 2. Infinate possibilities when the two effects interact.
