Thank you everyone!I apologize for being absent for a long time as I was transitioning back into my academic term.I will be finishing my degree in mechanical engineering and start looking at automated scenery afterwards. For anyone that is wondering, my modeling experience is NX, SolidWorks...

I've definitely considered this option, but I'm not entirely sure if I want to stay in mechanical design, I'll have to kinda feel it out a bit over the last two years of my education to see where I want to go.Thank you for sharing your thoughts :)

Hello Controlbooth!It's been some time since I've last posted here, but I'm looking for some guidance on how to go about this.I am currently a mechanical engineering student and work as a mechanical designer for a company that manufactures automated industrial manufacturing machinery. I am...

I've personally used just low-lying fog fluid in fog machines that take ice, but that fog does eventually warm up and starts to rise after some time. You'd have to keep the pit cooler than the rest of the auditorium to keep the fog low.

No change after rebuilding the sub. It seems to be an issue with the physical slider module because when the selector knob is set to channels it still does the slow climb thing. I even pulled up an old show file and it still does it. Looks like it'll probably have to be sent in, luckily that...

The 1 fader is controlling 1 channel or 1 submaster based on the selector knob. The output of the fader seems to be heavily delayed so if I were to push it to max then the value in EOS will slowly climb up on value but then stop. I checked the about page for the submaster and it matches all the...

Hey guys, wondering if anyone has any insight on what would cause a fader's value to change slowly over time. I move the physical slider to the maximum but then the value of what it's controlling (also affecting channel values) is changing slowly over time and seems to max out at about 11%. The...

I've personally done 1/2" plywood ribs, chicken wire stapled to them, then spray foamed. It works alright as long as you're willing to go through a good number of cans of expanding foam and carve afterwards. In all honesty it isn't the prettiest of methods however it does work, you will need to...

I generally try to get 2 fixtures at opposing angles, LED lights help as far as color goes so I dont usually worry about gels (my inventory is quite literally 75% LED). I sometimes get a 3rd fixture straight on to help control color when using the two opposing fixtures to light each side of the...

Now has: 24x ColorSource SPOTs 24x ColorSource PARs 24x S4 ERSs 24x S4 PARs 12x generic 3-cell cyc 3x (40 foot) 4 color border strips (one for each electric)

As the person that I am, I personally would make the blade slide up and down and have it connected to a servo. As far as materials go, pie tins work well for handmade gobos, wouldn't use soda cans because the metal is too thin for my liking (accidentally deformed one before when I needed a last...

Just leaving a note that the phenomenon you're talking about is indeed called "racking" and the plywood sheathing is common practice in the construction industry when a house is sheathed with foam board rather than strictly plywood. The corners are composed with half the thickness being plywood...

All I can think of is flicking your mouse (or other controlling device) and then having to wait for the fixture to accelerate and decelerate. Of course this depends on the fixture's motors, motor controllers, weight, etc. I've learned that using the mouse control on the ETC Element with an...

If IEMs weren't a requirement, I'd recommend Earasers. I used them in marching band and even their basic model cut a lot of the volume and kept the sound even. (Not sponsored by the company, just a user of their product.)

I'll ask the questions that everyone else will have in mind: - What's your budget? - Have you considered future users? - Have you considered what future upgrades may include?Best of luck!
