So I'm making a model using acrylic craft paints and I found some "sugar metallics" that appear to have sugar in them for texture. Has anyone ever used sugar on scenic elements for texture? I really like the texture it's giving but I'm worried about attracting rodents/bugs if I use real sugar on...

Thank you all for your help yesterday. After some more random breaker flipping the lights mysteriously came back on. No one knows which breaker it was but we had light on stage for band rehearsal so thats all I really cared about (gotta keep other people happy for when I need favors). Spending...

Yeah.....for those of you who havent guessed yet. Lighting was not my first passion in theatre. I focused on Technical Direction at DePaul. My lighting knowledge stops at about hanging/focusing/cabling/basic networking/basic programing and board op. I've shadowed people working on a GrandMA and...

Update to the Update: So we updated the software but it keeps giving us an error message (see picture)Any advice on that one?

Update: Apparently we are not running the most updated software but we also cant update the system so thats something
