New stuff from creator of SuperStar sequencer

[Steve Gase]

The following videos were very interesting.


There are some cool effects in the videos, and one video covers the assembly of his mega pixel tree with a smart pixel sphere as a topper for the tree, and also an alternative to the pvc tubing that we've discussed.

Really Nice. And i thought i finally decided on how to construct my future RGB Mega Tree.

Looks very nice!

It shows how you can get really good sequencing without the need for large string counts.

If enough people plan on building a sphere, ill add it into the targets of Nutcracker.

Also, many effects i saw in the video i would like to add the the current effect library.

[size=78%]I'm seriously considering the sphere.  I like that it takes on multiple personalities during the full sequence... extending the tree effects with vertical effects, then doing horizontal effects at other times.[/size]

[size=78%]This could make "stitching" tree and and sphere effects more challenging... but your project-based approach in nutcracker might be just the ticket.[/size]

[MrChristmas2000]

I'd consider the sphere if I could find where that plastic sphere came from.

That's a cool idea and fairly easy to implement.

Even if you didn't use it in a three. I'd probably add all four pixels on the top and bottom thought.

I like the text effects on his tree.

The second link shows
0136-WH   White    18.00"    36.00"    $295.00

$295 for a half hemisphere. $600 for a 3' sphere. I think i would make a frame out of wire or out of 1/2" irrigation pipe. It is 100' for $10. I made my 12' Halloween spider from pvc pipe and irrigation pipe.

There would be some incentive to engineer a sphere at a lower cost.

Sphere does look cool.

Here, I was thinking of using a salad bowl from the dollar store.

how much would a tree like this cost for the pixels and hardware without the spear

I was thinking of the dome off of R2D2 
Guess two R2D2s

But I like your idea also

He said there are 24 strings each with 25 pixels. This  probably means he is using 12x50 CCR's. Those are $250 each. So $3000 for the tree, another $500-700 for the sphere.

If you did it DIY

128 nodes string

$50 each, fold into two strands of 64.
$600 and about $200 in shipping = $800

1 Lynx etherdongle $100
1 active 16 port hub $100

You should be able to build about the same tree for $1000

I thought he said Cosmic Color Pixels.

Nice effects! I like the sphere a lot. With a half tree, would a half sphere (facing forward) suffice, or would it look weird?

you are right, but price is still about the same $240 for 50 pixels
