How to simply fill a window wrap with alternating colors?
« on: December 17, 2021, 04:09:14 PM »
This seems like it should be fairly easy, but I cannot figure out how to accomplish it.  I have a window wrapped in LED's. Let's say each side is 50 pixels.  What effect can I use to fill this 200 pixel window frame with alternating colors RED and WHITE? I want something that lets me just say here are the 2 colors I want...and give me a way to set how wide each color strip, lets say 5 pixels wide. Single Strand and Spirals almost get me there, but they seem to be direction based, so they cannot wrap a windows both up and across at the same time. what I want is every 5 pixels red then next 5 pixels white all the way around the length of my window wrap.

I'm not completely sure, buy have you tried Marquee?

Yes I tried Marquee and the videos I saw make it looks like the right effect, but it just seemed busted to me. maybe because my windows are not perfectly square, but it would only fill the left and right sides of my window. If I increased the thickness it would sort of work, but the bands would not be the correct side. Playing with it more it looks like Marquee does not work with groups. I tested it on a round wreath group that's made up of 3 models and it just did nothing :(

Use Marquee with a single line render Style.
