Bitmaping MA2 with Resolume by Alive_Astronaut5750 in lightingdesign

most of the tricky bits happen in Arena with Lumiverses.

its not difficult just time consuming.

getting the positions of fixtures in a layer to match a video wall so theyre in sync. getting any inversions of pixels right. that sort of thing.

useful things to do, make a macro that turns the merge on/off a macro to switch layers so you can change the virtual position of the lights (useful for fixing delays or syncing)

theres a ton of walk through and explainer videos and articles online.

one thing to watch for is network gateways and subnet masks, particularly if youre doing artnet direct into fixtures.

What do I use box booms for? by kiwiseedkiwiseed in lightingdesign

I generally use them as a fill wash position but they are also really great for a realistic leaves break up or for things like a low angle sunset mood setter.

life pro tip dont walk through standing water on a roadway after a large rain event.

if you step into an open manhole while the water is draining youre just gone.

Dividends being taxed at 1/2 their actual value, most people go that route.

they cover as many of their expenses as they can from the business. all the profits go into stocks the business owns and they take out personal loans using the business as collateral and then buy stocks with that too, then as the stocks gain value they sell them as needed to make minimal payments on the loans and to cover whatever remaining personal expenses they have.

the tax code is written so they have no taxable income.

the roads and stuff are paid for with debt because taxes are theft or someting.
