Effect Mode Options Descriptions
Effects can be applied to the Media File content (texture) mapped onto
a 3-D object. Multiple Color and Geometric effects are available in Effect
Mode parameters for both individual Graphic object and Global control.
Most of the effect options you will find described in this ch
apter are available for Effects Mode
parameters at both the graphic control level for each Graphic Object and global control level for
the composite image. The following pages describe all the Effect Mode options available along
with a description of how each Modifier parameter functions with that mode selected. Options
are arranged alphabetically and grouped as Color or Geometric Effects.
Check boxes in the upper right hand corner indicate
whether this mode is available as a Graphic Object Effect,
a Global Effect or both.
Because the options for all Eff
ect Mode parameters are identical, you can apply up to three
effects at the graphic level and another five effects at the global level. This lets you choose, for
example, whether to apply a color effect to an individual object or to the composite image at the
global level.
After you select a mode using either a Gra
phic Object Effect Mode or a Global Effect Mode
parameter, you can use the three associated Modifier parameters to adjust the effect. The
behavior of the Modifier parameters depends upon the selected effect.
• For a general information on Gr
aphics Control features, see Graphics Engine Overview on
page 59.
• For a table of Graphic Effects, see Effect Mode Parameters on page 106.
• For a table of Global Effects, see Global Effect Mode Channels on page 116.
NOTE: Both Object and Global Effect parameters include effects for swapping colors
to provide quick color conversions. Use the following DMX Values in any of
the Effect parameters to make these color conversions.
