Picture Size for Mega Tree

[lightfreak]

I have a mega tree that is 15 universes at 50 nodes per strand and I would like to place some pics on the tree for different effects during a selected sequence, what should I size the pic for this display. Any help with this would be great, first year doing smart pixels by the way so I am what you guys call a NOOB.

Thank you in advance

Also to all the members in the USA Happy 4th of July on Tuesday, here in Canada we just celebrated our 150th on the 1st of July.

If you have 15 strings of 50 nodes then you have a 15 x 50 pixel matrix and that is the size of images that will look the best.

Now over in free images I have put some Pixs at 16 x 50 give them a try  if I recall there are 6 of them in two replies.

If you have 15 universes,  how many strands per universe? Mr of strands by number of pixels per strand for tree resolution.

You can also "cheat" a little by make your pictures wider and having them scroll across your tree (as opposed to a static image that must fit within the tree dimensions)

Is that a trick question ?   In Xlights and falcon universes really mean nothing.  My tree has 24 strands with 150 nodes per.  Strand 1 uses 450 channels out of the first universe the second string uses the last 62 channels in universes 1 then starts into universe 2  and so on.... It's not 1 universe per string  but that's xlights and falcon. Can't speak for LOR stuff.

Let's do the math
24 strands 150 nodes per strand 3 channels per node 512 channels universe. So that makes just over 21 universes used on my tree.
