How Can I Get A Spinning Clock Effect?
« on: December 17, 2016, 01:57:28 PM »
I'm using a spinner model and trying to get the effect of a clock with hour and minute hands moving very quickly around. I can't even seem to get just a minute hand to spin around clockwise. I've tried using the pinwheel, spirals, and spirograph effects. I've set it up with # strings = 12, arms/string = 1, lights/arm =10. Any suggestions?

Not sure on spinner model, but I know it's possible when using custom model.

On my spinner I also have it setup as 12 strings  I do a clock effect in the song Lets build a snowman.  Just use the on effect for each arm.  just keep turning one off and the next on to simulate the hands moving.

I tried that but it looked kind of jerky. What time increment did you use for each arm?

The movements went in time with the song 1/2 second each.
