Sean,
Sorry, I missed the video. I usually watch all of them usually a few days late late but I eventually watch 95% of them. I'll watch this video tonight. Thank you.
But to ask as to why you would want to have a starting channel number to be lower than the ending channel number, suppose you have a single strand and want to have both ends of that strand come toward each other and meet in the middle. This works great for the star model as the star model is basically 5 different 'single strands'.
The only way I know how to do this is to divide that strand in half and make two models out of it. Unless there is a 'reverse' command on the effect, I don't know how to make both ends of a 'strand' come toward each other. (If anybody else knows an easier way let me know please)
Having a model with a starting channel higher than the ending channel would allow much more versatility in programming. Thus the single strand could have both ends coming toward each other without the need for a reverse option in the effect. Since many of the effects now have a reverse or direction option my star (which is basically 5 separate single strands) can appear to have both ends coming toward each other and meeting in the middle. This effect looks so cool as it looks like an 'explosion' of light when both ends meet. It's an easy work around with the direction option.
Circle effect, fireworks, do not have a direction option so I cannot experiment to see how it might work with a star model making the effect culminate in the middle of the star.
Thanks for all your work!! --Greg-- down the street in Highlands Ranch!!--
