Fixture Creator Download

Hopefully this tutorial will enable new users of the FreeStyler Fixture Creator to gain enough information to be able to create their own fixtures and maybe give some other users some extra information on the Fixture Creator. I am not claiming this is the best way or the easiest way to create fixtures but it works for the purpose of this tutorial.

Here I have told the Fixture Creator that it has its colour channel on 7 and that we have 18 colours. If you look at the manual you might be a bit confused by this as it only mentions 8 colours and a rainbow effect. Well what I have done here is allowed for split colours and 3 rotation speeds for the rainbow effect. Not all fixtures allow for split colours as their colour wheels are indexed, what that means is if you select any of the values allowed for that colour it will always show the whole colour. This colour wheel is not indexed so selecting values near the beginning or the end of its range will allow the previous or next colour to appear as well. Check your manual or do a simple test of moving the slider from value to value and see what happens on the real fixture.

Right now onto the gobo wheels, this fixture has 2 gobo wheels and one of them has rotating gobos. The first gobo wheel is the static gobo wheel, static in the sense that the gobos do not rotate but obviously the wheel that the gobos are on does, otherwise you would not be able to select the gobos. So that uses channel 8 and has 7 gobos on it.

The second gobo wheel is on channel 11 has 9 gobos and the gobo rotation channel is 12 as can be seen in the above picture. You might be wondering why I have entered 9 as the number of gobos on this channel when it has only six physical gobos and a wheel rotation speed. Well the others are for differing gobo wheel rotation speed of slow, medium and fast. All will be revealed soon.

As I do not have the actual fixture and the manual does not define what the gobos look like I have used numbers 1, 2 and 3 and the colours it mentions in the manual. Yes I know this is a gobo wheel so what are colours doing on there. They are most probably some sort of filter which when used with gobo wheel 2 and the colour wheel gives some sort of other effect the same goes for the gobos 1, 2 and 3.

Multi RGB element fixtures (LED Bars) along with lasers seem to give the majority of people real problems when trying to create a fixture for them. I am not going to talk about lasers in this tutorial only multi RGB element fixtures and specifically the American DJ Mega Bar LED.

The main reason I see for this problem is because they can have a lot of channels, have lots of different operating mode with differing number of channels per mode and when in the higher channel modes a lot of RGB elements, and you cannot find where to place certain channels.

Another reason is that the current Fixture Creator only supports 1 RGB element so creating a fixture with multiple RGB elements would be a real problem.

Hopefully with this tutorial I can show you my way of creating these type of fixtures.

I am not saying this is the best or the easiest way but it is a way that works and hopefully you will understand how it works.

Disclaimer:-I do not physically have this fixture so it is untested, it may not cover every aspect of the fixtures capabilities but hopefully it will cover the most used. If it does not cover what you want then you can have a look at the fixtures in Fixture Creator and try and add that functionality yourself.

This tutorial does not show you how to create the fixture for use in 3D Magic Easy View, to do that you need to run the ScanLibrary program, it is not the same as Fixture Creator but the same method would need to be performed as shown for the Fixture Creator. In the future I will create a tutorial(s) for the ScanLibrary program as well.

I have only used a part of the image for the Mega Bar LED as it makes it easier here and in FreeStyler.

As you can see I have filled in some basic comments in the comment field as well, this is optional but would recommend use it to put anything you want people to know about this fixture.

Lets carry on, as I mentioned we are doing what I call the simplest fixture for all the modes that the Mega Bar LED has and this is the 3 channel fixture.

Yep you guessed it we need to enter 3 in the Total channels input box as can be seen in the image below.

OK so now our fixture knows how many channels, so how do we tell it what channels control what?

As we know this is and RGB fixture and RGB stands for Red, Green and Blue. They are colours. So let us find the colour section of the Fixture Creator.

As you can see the fields have now changed to Red Channel, Green Channel and Blue Channel which is what our fixture is.As this fixture is 3 channel and the manual tells us that the red is on 1 and green is on 2 on blue is on 3 we need to put those numbers in those fields. See image below for how it looks completed.

That is it we have entered all the data we need for this fixture.No we need to save it and export it. I always export any fixture I create and keep them separate from FreeStyler to ensure that I always can re-install them if I ever need to do a complete/clean re-install of FreeStyler.

Now to export our fixture.

Exported fixtures are the ones you would upload to the FreeStyler Support Forum or transfer onto another computer for FreeStyler to use. It contains all the information needed in the one file, images, gobos, colours etc.

Go to the File menu and select Export as shown in the image below.

The filename has the same filename as what was entered for the normal save, so you can just press the Save button and that is our fixture exported and you can now exit from the Fixture Creator program and start FreeStyler and add the number of these 3 channel fixtures you want to control.

Open Fixture Creator and fill in all the information as per the 3 channel fixture described above.

Obviously the Fixture name will be Mega Bar LED 4ch and any comments need to be changed as well and the Total channels will have to be changed to 4.

We are now going to create the 11 channel version of the American DJ Mega Bar LED, so how are we going to do this as the Fixture Creator only allows 1 RGB element and the American DJ Mega Bar LED has 3 of these RGB elements.

Well the simple answer is you cannot do it but what would be the point of this tutorial if you cannot do it.

What you have to do is to not think of it as one fixture but in this case as 4 fixtures, 3 fixtures for the RGB elements and 1 fixture for the control part (strobe and dimmer).

Now strangely enough did we not create a 3 channel RGB fixture in the first part of this tutorial? Yes we did, so now all we have to do is create the control part of this fixture the bit that controls the strobe and the dimmer. It should be easy enough.

I have filled out all the information for this part of the fixture as can be seen in the image above. Remember this part of the fixture is only for controlling the strobe and dimmer. You might be asking why I have set the channel values of the strobe and dimmer (intensity) to 1 and 2 respectively as this is meant to be an 11 channel fixture. Well this part of the fixture only has 2 channels so it has to be set at 1 and 2. The correct addressing of the channels comes when we patch them into FreeStyler.Enter the data as shown above and Save and Export the fixture as before.

Please note - I was using a beta version for these screen shots, so the addressing of the fixtures looks screwed up and slightly different to what you will see if you are using FreeStyler 3.2.8. It will work as described and your addressing will be correct if using teh auto-address feature.

Now we have to enter all the values from channel 1 of the manual for the 2 channel fixture, phew that is going to take a bit of time. Luckily in a recent version there was added an Auto generate values option which can fill out this information for us.

The Sports Fixtures Calculator creates a fixture list for up to 30 teams and allows you to email the Fixtures for later use. You can also use the Sports Fixtures Calculator to create a football league, rugby league, netball league or any others sports league where two or more teams (or individuals) compete.

The Sports Fixture Calculator is great for people who quickly want to create a set of fixtures, maybe for a group of friends to play snooker together, for a school sports day, a pub football team league and so on. If you need more than a simple fixtures list, you can use our Advanced League Table Creator, an excellent, all encompassing sports league tool that allows you to create fixtures, record results, assign win/draw points and more. Most importantly, the Advanced League Table Creator allows you to save and edit your results, share the league with friends, competitors and more. Just like the Fixtures Creator, the Advanced League Table Creator is a free online calculator so you can keep track of your league games with no out of pocket loses.

But I can't find a way to query a physics object of the current state of its fixtures. I probably could save a copy of the coordinates of all the points making up my fixtures, for each and every object, but then I would have to do all the math too, rotating them and translating them. Essentially doing the same work as physics_world_draw_debug. be457b7860
