xLights - Metallic Snowflakes - Getting More from Standard Effects

[@Christmaslightshow2422]

Learning Xlights for my first show this year and this was very helpful for a sequence I am putting together. The way you explained it was easy to follow and I made the changes on my sequence at each step you did. Well done. Thanks for sharing.

incredible - I had no idea you could do this. Thank you for showing this!!

[@Maxspeed996]

I'm just getting started with Xlights, and this tutorial really shows how much you can actually do with this utility. I'm blown away and can't wait to actually attempt a show this year.

[@xlightstrainingnuggets9736]

[@diyadventures1622]

Great effect. Thanks for this tip and for talking a little about the way these layer blending rules work. I'm using this font and trick in my show now.

In my xlights when I open the color palette, I don't have the same thing you have. It doesn't look anything like yours. I don't have a RGB slider, and I don't have a box to manually enter the color hex? Not sure why. I have the latest version of xlights installed.

I have my IMac on Share Mac Analytics settings to on Share with App Developers but X Lights keeps crashing as soon as I touch a setting telling me to turn on (it’s already on)I’m getting ready to throw this out the Window 11,get it a joke!!Whats wrong please help!

[@husky24tn]

what are the settings for your mega tree if you dont mind sharing...apparently my tree doesnt have enough strands ...it looks very different from yours

[@xlightstrainingnuggets9736]

I don't have a megatree. But all trees should look fundamentally the same. But more dense trees with render effects more clearly.

[@benboutwood9132]

Tried restarting xlights with no luck

[@jyddentz]

I have followed your video step by step. I get the fonts to save and I show DH Snowflakes in the window. When I press a letter, the letter show, not the snowflake. Can you possibly tell me what I am doing wrong? Thank you.

[@jyddentz]

sorry, I just saw the same kind of post.

[@buckerbulbs4867]

I downloaded and unziped the file. It shows in my font selection as snowflakes and when select a letter the letter appears on the tree and not the snowflake. What did I do wrong?

[@xlightstrainingnuggets9736]

You may need to close xLights and reopen.

I too am totally new to Xlights and I was wondering how I could get the Maple Leaf (CND) on a matrix for Remembrance Day. All is good except when I go to dafont, and downloaded it, it came into XL but rather than just being titled DH... it shows all the snowflakes. Then as I followed to type in sjsjsj I was getting actual letters on my tree. ????? any advice?

[@boblarocque68]

Dang should have read all the comments first. off and on fixed it ... sorry

[@xlightstrainingnuggets9736]

No worries :)
