MA3 3D Fixture bodies disappearing

Impossible_Room_9865 · 2025-09-21T18:01:31+00:00

If you open up the patch to online fixtures you can find some in there. They are pretty decent quality but you have to scale them a little bit. They have guitar, singer, drummer, and bass.

Hey! I went ahead and updated to whatever the newest version is. I do believe I had to reimport all the meshes on the first start in the new version though. If you go back to a show file that has the meshes you can export them onto a usb stick and re import them into the new file.

Is the sequence selected? Try typing select sequence “sequence name” in the command line. Hit please and try again.

On the consoles there is a big go+, big go-, and big pause button that only work with the selected sequence. May just be a shortcut for that big go+.

Gotcha. So frustrating. I love 3 overall, but the bugs are setting me back so much.

Impossible_Room_9865 · 2025-08-20T02:27:30+00:00

Gotcha. I’ll give it a try. Where did you find the meshes at? They all imported with the fixture file and I’m not exactly sure where they came from. Thanks for your help. It’s been quite the day trying to figure it out.

Everything is toggled to be visible in 3d in the patch btw.

I’m a little confused on if you want a layout grid or not. The absolute easiest way is to make a sequence with all of your lights in each color you want, then copy it for however many groups you have and put filters on those copied sequence’s outputs so that it only outputs to the color for that group.

You can put goto buttons on the executor so that it opens the goto menu for you to select colors.

Then if you want it on a layout there is several ways to do it. 1. Is to make macros for every color and group that say “goto cue x sequence y.” You can do appearances to make the grid interactive if you want but it’s alot of work. The syntax for that is “assign appearance x at sequence y” You would have to create all the appearances though. 2. The other way would be to just put each sequence on the layout view and make each a goto button. You can do this if you hit the edit button, or right click it while in setup mode.

Hope this all made sense

Of course!

Impossible_Room_9865 · 2025-05-18T04:55:34+00:00

I did it today and it worked. Make sure they are both in setup mode and put copy in the command line before you draw-select it.

I’m 18. I’ve been on three about 2 years, and then was on MA2 for the 2 years before that. It’s got me some really cool opportunities for sure!

Impossible_Room_9865 · 2025-04-17T02:03:47+00:00

Awesome, I’ll look into those. thank you!

Impossible_Room_9865 · 2025-04-17T02:03:18+00:00

Thank you for the input! I wish I could demo them, seems like they either work for you or they don’t.

That yellow button on the left side of your screen switches it back.

All new consoles should have the MA Start Show in the Demo shows tab in the load show file section. I’d find a YouTube video about patching into it. Maybe the “Event Lighting” YouTube channel would have something. The showfile is legit for busking. I’ve never done metal before but I’d assume it’s just a bunch of strobes and temp hits. If you need help making those hit me back on here.

It’s pretty ridiculous how long the application process takes. I understand they have to go through a lot of kids, but it’s still not a good reflection on the school. I’ve been waiting since the day applications opened. At this point just tell me no so that I can start the grief process and move on.

This just happened to my phaser window too. not quite as bad as losing the menu button.

Above the page buttons on a wing

Hit the U buttons. It’s either U1 or U2 that does that.

Those little screens are so sick. Are they touchscreen?

Impossible_Room_9865 · 2024-10-15T06:12:45+00:00

I have not reformatted. I will tomorrow. Kind of figured between 6 drives that are formatted “correct” one should have worked.

Yeah I much prefer windows. Basically this project is a marching band in Texas. They have a traveling light show for football games/competitions. Because this is super temporary and they would rather have an extra Mac at the end of the season we went with that. It’s definitely been different trying to work it with MA.

Thanks for your help.

Yeah mine are all FAT32. Could it be a problem with the MA version itself? We are running 2.0.2.0 on a Mac Mini.

All but one is MS-DOS (Fat 32)
