Hi Gil, Thank You. I'll try and d/l to check everything out.
As I mentioned, this is a learning curve for me. I had tried the data layer, after rendering I didn't get anything.
As to my naming. I use BoBo's vegomatic tool to set up my channels for the mega tree. That way I could do all 16 strands on a universe each. That was the seq. I sent you. The original Wowlights seq. had everything consecutively and only used 6 or 7 universes.
Being that nothing was coming up in NC with the original WL seq. I thought I needed to redo my DMX channels to have them each on a universe. The naming is from BobO's vegomatic. I did not name anything.
You are correct, I don't need to edit on the node level. Since the new WL seq. now contained DMX RGB stuff, I thought it would simplify my sequencing issues.....I was wrong. Just trying to not make "Easy...Hard!" LOL
Would I do the same for Rock Ye? Is there a way I could use the globe effects on my roofline CCB's instead with import or data file. That is what I have been trying to do with that song.
I can export the sup into LOR, then either delete the globe channels or the tree channels to make a separate seq. Could I then use that as a data layer? AS I said, I'm learning. Trying to go back and watch Sean's old tutorial, but would it even be beneficial with all the latest changes.
One last thing. I remember we used to have a setting that would allow us to take a seq. from a smaller element and make it work for our element (model), were by changing the x/y cords or something like that.
I don't see that anymore. I tried it on the Joy to the world sup sequence and the 12 CCR, it adjusted to my 24x150 tree perfectly. Been trying to do that with the 24x25 Rock Ye sup sequence, doesn't work like the Joy did. Am I missing something here? I sent you that seq. as well. Did it work for you as a data layer?
Gil, I agree, the seq. are fine w/out having to edit nodes or anything for me. I just want to bring them into NC/XL, then edit other elements (mini trees) etc; using the NC effects along with stuff that is already done.
I seem to be failing miserably. I know I have a lot of support from folks as yourself. But, I also know I'm trying patience as well. I know the light bulb will click, but right now, flying the 737 is a lot easier. LOL
Thanks again to everyone. I know we'll get this, then my seq. will be a breeze, as half will already be done.
Best,
David
PS heading to your link to dl. Perhaps with the change, all the WL seq will import as data layyer with no issues.
Will let ya know.
