[@YOGESHKUMAR-ry1fz]

woww this look amazing man

[@darkelectronicmusic]

This is cool

[@adamwaters831]

amazing!!!!!!! do you have a tutorial on this?

[@samgielen]

I don’t, sadly. Is that something you’d be interested in? What would you like to learn from a tutorial like that?

[@Tiryk]

How did you make custom fixtures? or better question set them up as DMX Fixtures?

[@samgielen]

If you know how the existing dmx fixtures in unreal work, it’s fairly easy to script something yourself! Just look at the blueprints withing the dmx fixtures provided by unreal, and then you can reserse engineer them

[@Tiryk]

@@samgielen So far all i've been able to do successfully is duplicate the original fixtures system and use that to then rebuild and keyframe my own sets, I haven't looked much into the blueprints or anything.. I'll try that though!

[@GilliamFlebus]

F'ing cool!

Looks awesome! I am trying to set up Pre-vis for some Astera AX1 PixelTubes. Having a hard time finding any tutorials on it. Not even really sure where to start with getting fixtures into unreal. Especially LED PixelTubes. Any help?

I'm hoping some bright bod' will come up with Blueprints for doing 'DMX Show Design' natively within Unreal. I need it for water features but Depence is literally about 9,000 Euros.

Did you work on the Magnetic Flow expo ? :D I recognize that first pattern :p

[@samgielen]

No I didn’t but it was the inspiration! I saw a video from someone who saw it in Brussels but only learned the name of the expo yesterday!

[@stargazestudios]

@@samgielen I didn’t go but I wished, looked amazing. Great work btw ! Feels great to see other unreal enthousiasts from Belgium !

This looks awesome, can you recommend any tutorial on how to set up the lights like in your scenes?

[@samgielen]

I learned it back in the 4.26 version and got some inspiration from the Aiden Wilson tutorials on DMX, as well as just people I worked with IRL. But I think this guy does a very good job explaining everything as well, and it's for 5.1, which is good, because a lot of these things changed place and got simplified over the years. www.youtube.com/@RajashekarTechy
