Creating a Light Show with ColorPlay 3
1. Map Fixtures
Each ColorPlay 3 show begins as a virtual map of light fixtures. To start designing
your show, you must plot, or map, fixtures on a grid. The map represents your
installation and enables ColorPlay 3 to send instructions to the iPlayer 3 operating
your lights.
2. Arrange Groups
Next, you must arrange the mapped fixtures into groups. Groups coordinate
the show, enabling you to rapidly select and move multiple fixtures, change node
ordering to match your installation, and assign effects across multiple fixtures
simultaneously.
3. Create Effects
After arranging groups, you can begin assigning effects. Each effect possesses editable
properties, including color palettes, start time, timeline duration, and more. Note
that effects are applied to groups; to assign an effect to a fixture, that fixture must be
part of a group. Note also that you can assign more than one effect to each group.
4. Simulate and Test Your Light Show
Next, you simulate and refine your show with the timeline editor. The timeline
editor contains multiple tracks, or rows, which enable you to quickly adjust effect
properties, modify effect transitions, and manage multiple effects applied to the same
group. The timeline editor contains the playback controls used for previewing your
show on-screen or running your show live on installation fixtures.
5. Download Shows to the iPlayer 3 and Create Triggers
The final step in creating a ColorPlay 3 project has two stages: first you download
your show files to an iPlayer 3 and then you configure your show playback
instructions by creating triggers.
