Set center position for Bezier shapes

Post by Misty69 »

Would be great if it was possible to select the center point in bezier shapes. For example - my moving heads typically are facing forward (hung on a portable truss). To mirror movements, when I swap the x-axis, I need to move the shape to the correct area on the graph. It's difficult to get the shape to exactly the correct position. It would be nice just to be able to select the center of the shape as the center of the movement and reverse it in-place. Would also be nice to have a keyboard shortcut to be able to nudge the shape, rather than having to move it with a mouse - it could be much more exact.

I hope this makes sense.

Thanks!

Hi,

I really like the idea of a center position dependent bezir shape mode. This would make my programming so much easier, because i would only have to programm the single shapes without postion and could select my center points just with the override buttons. This would really enlarge the options of programming.
I also would like to have the option to let the movinglights run in bezir shape mode out of phase, so that they would follow each other, not only do all the same movement or an inverted one.

If you could realize this, I would be very happy and willing to donate for your great work.


Thanks for all of your good work.

hi

its not ideal but this is how i do it.
first make your SEQ in the middle (127,127)
the between the freestylers setup you have a TAB CORRECTIONS.

here you can easyly change the Centre point where the mover will move..
hopefully this make sens.
