Snow Flake / StarBurst
« on: November 15, 2014, 04:51:35 AM »
I have a snowflake that I want to add pixels too.

Essentially six arms. How would you model this in Xlights/Nutcracker? want to make sure I hook up the pixels so it works well.

thanks

Mike

Make a vertical matrix 6 cells wide by however many elements you have on each arm.  Then you can play with the different effects to see what you like.  It will show up as a matrix in the nutcracker preview window and you will soon will be able to look at the matrix and get an idea of what it will look like on the snow flake  or spinner.
