How best to layout single pixel items
« on: October 26, 2016, 09:13:38 AM »
I have spooky eyes and Pixelaria from Boscoyo.  What would be the best RGB model and way to add those items to the layout.  They are basically single light items or multiple  lights used as one the case of a Pixelaria (think luminary).  Each are 3 to 4 ft apart but with multiple in a string.

There are spooky eyes xmodel files on the Facebook forum.

Just make a custom model and enter 1 in every cell that needs data to draw the shape you need.

1 1 1 1 1 1
1             1
1             1
1 1 1 1 1 1

Example for a single node square shaped model.

Thanks Steve, I'll look for those.  Right now I have a single line with just 4 nodes and enlarged the pixel size.  That may work for now as I am not a stickler for exact models.  Besides I'm running out of time to put them in a sequence.  But then there is next year so I'll look for the models.

Sounds very reasonable Jim!  It will work, and the people watching the lights blink will never know you used a single pixel to sequence those shapes.

I drew eyeglasses for mine last year and had them blink on or off here and there, still have not gotten them out, but you can bet I grabbed Steve's models on the facebook group.

I think he only did 2, if you find more toss a reply in the thread to bubble it up please.

Someone else added a couple more of the spooky eye models in the FB group as well.
