Multibeam device from single LED source?
Posted: Sat Jun 18, 2011 1:20 pm
Hi all,
I have evaluated Sunlite Suite 2 but got stuck on modelling a Beglec Mystery LED II (http://en.beglec.com/product/4156/MYSTERY-LED-II) in a way that it would also show up in 3D-Simulation (the included default model doesn't show properly).
Is there a way to model a fixture that has a single (in this case actually 2 rotateable) LED source(s) but where the light rays ultimatively are split into 24 single rays by means of 24 lenses but with only 3 channels? (1=dim, 2=color, 3=rotation) so that it shows up correctly in 3D-Sim with 24 rays of light?
I have tried modelling it in the Scan Library Editor, but as soon as I only have 3 DMX channels, it complains that I should have 24 (!), even though I have made sure all 24 light beams are assigned to channel 1 (=dim).
Any clues on how to model this so it works in simulation would be greatly appreciated :)
Thanks,
Steffen
