Building an Auditorium
Posted: November 16th, 2011, 9:47 pm
I am trying to build an Auditorium in Magic 3D Easy View. I've gotten very good results with building the stage, however there are a few issues I've run into that I was wondering if I could get some help with.
First and foremost, I haven't been able to build custom objects. I go to the Simple Objects Editor, then click the "custom" radio button, which brings up the custom object editor. However, no matter what I design in there, when I click "Build" nothing happens. I can click build to my hearts content, yet nothing. Any ideas about this?
Secondly, I am tying to build the "house" section of our auditorium, as our trackspots can hit areas where the audience sits. Now, it's not a huge deal, but when I build a wall that extends past the plane where the edge of my stage is (say past the stage right side) the wall simply disappears at that intersection. I can see the wall if I rotate the camera past that plane, but I can't see the entire wall ever. Is there a way to overcome this issue?
Third, when I change colors or gobos on my trackspot, it does not change in Magic 3D easy View. Is this a limitation of Limited Mode, or have I done something wrong in the setup? The light beam moves flawlessly when I move it in Freestyler...just no colors or gobos.
Other than that, I'm really enjoying freestylers ease of use, as well as Magic 3D easy view! I'm excited to learn more so I can start contributing to the community!
