Effect Mode Parameters
Three Effect Mode parameters are available for each individual 3-D object, each with three
Modifier parameters. Both Effect parameters have an identical list of color and visual effect
options. This lets you apply a dual-effect combination to the selected 3-D object.
NOTE: Not all modes combine effectively. For example, you cannot glow a
wobbulating object very well.
The table below describes the interaction between an Effect Mode parameter and its three
associated Modifier parameters. You can find a detailed description and example of each option
in Chapter 13: Effect Mode Options
Descriptions on page 147.
NOTE: Modifier channels for Effect Mode 1 are labeled as CMY in the
Wholehog system so you can also make use of the color picker, HSI,
and other Wholehog functions. Use the CMY parameter controls to
adjust the three Effect Mode 1 Modifier parameters for both the Global
and Graphic fixture types. The default for Effect Mode 1 is set to CMY1
as well. Effect Mode 2 and 3 Modifier channels are labeled Mod 1, Mod
2, and Mod 3.
