2.3 Opacity and Effects

The parameters described in this chapter are set for each Graphic Object you define. Parameters for composite image intensity and
effects are described in
2.3.1

Opacity

Adjusting an object's opacity allows one object to "show through" another. You can adjust the opacity of an individual 3-D object
from completely transparent to full opacity using this parameter. Increase opacity from not visible at a value of zero to full opacity
at a value of 255.
Default DMX Value: 0 = completely transparent
The Global Intensity parameter provides a similar adjustment to the combined image. This global control parameter controls
intensity levels on the overall image (see
the Global Intensity parameter is the best way to apply a fade to the composite image.
Graphic Object 1 Intensity DMX =255 (100%)
Graphic Object 2 Intensity DMX =255 (100%)
2.3.2

Visual Mode

Visual Mode options are defined using three parameters. The Visual Mode parameter has options for enhancing and adjusting the
black level and contrast of a 3-D object. Once you choose a visual mode, two Modifier parameters adjust the selected mode.
In most cases, you won't see a change in the content until you adjust the Modifier parameters for that mode.
Default DMX Value: 1 = Content Optimization
Default DMX values for Modifier 1 and Modifier 2 channels depend on the selected option.
The following table illustrates the interaction between the Visual Mode Parameter and the two associated Modifier parameters for
each option.
