Hey guys, A google search surprisingly yielded no results on this one. How do I fill in a lighting symbol in Vectorworks, to in effect, act as if I highlighted it with a marker? I have tried editing the color attributes of both a symbol as a fixture, and as just a symbol, no luck. Creating a...

That would be excellent to have the opinion of someone who is making the transition. If you can get me in contact with him at some point in the near future to figure out who is good to apply to and the process he is following, that would be fantastic.

First of all, I do apologize if I have posted this topic in the wrong forum.I am now completing my last year of university training in Lighting Design, and seek some advice. I have lived my current city for my entire life and am looking to move from here as soon as possible. I have begun to...

I guess the encoder wheels were on the wrong side... oops

Did anyone notice that they tried to pass off an EOS as the control system for the drones?

I'm looking at about $200 in parts. 185w in power consumption

Thank you for the input. I know I have suggested some crazy ideas before, but I have never taken any of them this far. In response to the question about whether or not it will work in any other fixtures, you would have to changer the design slightly for the particular manufacturer, but it should...

Hi all, I have been working on a project recently that has showed much promise. Without giving too much away it involves LED's and and a sharp edged beam. I am building a version that is much closer to how I envision an actual product taking shape, and have been talking to a lawyer about...

Perhaps a configuration like the ETC smart bar would be viable to eliminate some of the degradation? It would also eliminate some of the cost of the long fiber optic runs. All you would need would be a standard 20amp circuit and a DMX/Ethernet cable to connect? It would still require data to...

I have been reading a bit about the issues with LED ellipsoidals and I have been toying with a solution. I just want to throw this out there and get some feedback before I do anything like pay thousands of dollars for the patent. That being said, I have drawn up a brief and some descriptions and...

Our theatre isn't about to buy an EOS, we just got an ION which travels between our three spaces only if it's absolutely needed. Otherwise it lives in our dance space. We're not really going to upgrade because there is nothing we're going to buy in the foreseeable future that would really...

I've been doing some research on the history of lighting consoles recently, and I've come across something I'd like to know more about. I'm having lots of trouble finding in depth information (manuals, pics, existence of...) regarding the Obsession II Designers Remote Console. All I've managed...

Ion Console - 1024 Outputs Best deal I found so far. Bring your own screens, so it's not such a bad deal assuming you're like me and don't need fader wings. Shipping is cheap to. I'm rolling one into my student loans because I convinced my loan bank that it's a PC and that it's not fair that...

I didn't catch that, however I noticed that in one of the bedroom scenes towards the beginning there was a large studio fresnel clearly visible behind a set of white drapes. Ruined the whole movie for me....

Perhaps i should have specified more. I have two weeks with simply the software on a desktop. Yes, I understand the point about learning color mixing, and I don't really have any issues with it. But that being said, controlling desk channels looks quite aggravating on this system, so it's just a...
