hey,

I bought a RGBA LED Bar from Eurolite.
And As I wanted to create a fixture I saw the tutorial for LED bars.
Now I wanted to have my LED Bar in one Icon, but it didn't work.

Could you , most improtant implement a RGBA Color-Picker ?
(until now there is a bar for the Amber Channel but it don't changes)

And the Segement control is a good thing but with an option for RGBA Segments it would be even better.

This is my idea and i think also others could profit of these changes.

thx a lot,
garyee

I would like to expand on this suggestion somewhat. Modern lights like bars from Chavet, ADJ, Microh, etc have outgrown the RGB settings of Fixture Creator. For example, look at the Chauvet Colorpallette. The RGB settings only allow for 3 channels, yet the ColorPallette actually has 2 rows of 4 segments that can be controlled individually in 27ch mode. I know I can create several fixtures separately to have that control, but I think the solution is simply to merge the new RGB segment section in v3.4, back to the RGB options, with an option of how many segments are in the array, just like with the gobo options. For example, where FC currently asks for Red RGB channel, it could ask how many segments are in the array. Using the Colorpallette as an example, the answer would be 8 (2 rows of 4 blocks, in 27ch mode). This would create a new Channels Tab, with 24 input boxes, the RGB channels for each of the 8 segments in the Colorpallette. Amber and white could also be added as a tick box below the number of segments, so they could be added to the Channels Tab accordingly. This should allow total control over fixtures like the Megabar, Megapixel, Colorbar, ColorPallette, ST4000, 4-Bar, and the OP's Eurolite, all on one icon, yet allowing the color picker to function across the entire fixture or just an RGB segment in the array. I could create some screenshots to better explain this, just let me know.

Your idea sounds nice But what you explain is allready there.
only you are saying it a little bit differnt
you allready can make RGB sigments in Fixture creator 6.0 (comes with FS3.4.0)
look at: http://www.freestylersupport.com/fsforu ... =86&t=3631 this fixture also uses rgb Sigments

Only at the moment you can not Add White and amber to the sigments, but it wil come.

You are correct, I just tried 3.4.0 and he has added the segment feature for RGB. Not real user friendly yet, but it does work! I'm still trying to figure out the new formulas feature, but thanks for the heads up /spirit!
