Quick Tip Tuesday: Adding Color to your Conventionals
We’re not talking cutting color and then getting out the china marker. Rather, if your apt to be using grandMA3D to pre-render your programming and you’re using conventional fixtures (lekos, pars, fresnels, etc) – your rendering will look more complete if you add color to your fixtures.
This process can actually be completed from within your showfile on the console. Enter LIVE ACCESS or FULL ACCESS and locate your conventional fixtures in their respective layers. If you scroll to the right, you’ll find a column labeled “Color.” Select any cell(s) in this column and click to open the Change Color window. At the top of this new window, you’ll notice a button with an arrow pointing up. If you click this arrow, you’ll be presented with various gel manufacturers. Here, pick the manufacturer of the color you’re using, then you can type in the Gel number, or scroll through the list to find the color you’re looking for. No cutting required.
Quick Tips are exactly what the name should imply. We’re adding these to our blog in an effort to help programmers and operators of all levels. If you’d like to suggest a Quick Tip, drop us a message on this blog, or on our Facebook page, or even via Twitter.
