Fixture help - 400w UV Cannon

Wasnt sure if I should post here or the fixture request section, so posting in both, and hopefully someone will notice. I have one of those monsterous 400w UV Cannons. I want to add this to FS as well as 3D, so need to create 2 fixture profiles. The channel would actually control a DMX switch pack, to turn on the cannon. Would prefer to have a picture of the cannon, instead of using the Shadow LED panel that is included with FS. Also need this thing to blast out a big wide angle of purplish light in 3D, any way of doing that

Thanks
Neil

The freestyler part of the fixture creation is actually not that hard. Have you tried that already?

The Wiki has a nice and well explained section on the Fixture Creator:

I know how to create a fixture, both in FS as well as 3D. The issue is that I would like to define a larger size fixture, and one that is capable of projecting a wide angle wash of purple UV. Right now, I simply started with a PAR fixture, but no matter what beam angle I chose (maxed out at 110 degrees in this case), it sill shows up with a narrow PAR64 beam. I was able to force the purple color thru on the 3D side, but that is about it. I guess worst case, it does the job, and tells me when the light is on. I just need to find out how to get the beam wider now, just like its done on a Martin Atomic strobe.

Thanks
