Kevin Beacham Posted December 12, 2005 Share Posted December 12, 2005 Has something changed in version 12? Previously you could use the gobo projector tool to get pretty accurate RGB values of gel colours (I only ever tried it with Lee). Simply place a gobo projector. Select the gobo (rectangle icon) and enter the color value on the Object Info i.e. L132, then select the light and the RGB value shows up in the color area of the Object Info window for the light (and the arrow on the light icon would change too) R0 G46 B197. Fantastic. Perfect if you want to simulate the gel colour in another application. It worked in version 11.5 and as far back as 8.5 from memory, now it seems to be broken. Am I missing something? Does anyone know another way of getting simulated colors in RGB? Quote Link to comment
Vectorworks, Inc Employee klinzey Posted December 15, 2005 Vectorworks, Inc Employee Share Posted December 15, 2005 The Gobo Projector is a Legacy object and no longer supported. The functionality of the gobo projector has been integrated into the lighting device. Quote Link to comment
grant_PD Posted December 15, 2005 Share Posted December 15, 2005 Is it possible then with the new lighting device to: drop in a light specify color and then change the lights intensity? I could do that with the old gobo projector tool Quote Link to comment
Kevin Beacham Posted December 15, 2005 Author Share Posted December 15, 2005 Thanks for your reply Kevin. The new feature does not let you use gel colors to specify the light/lamp color. When I purchased my first copy of Spotlight and first realised this feature was available it made me fall off my seat, I thought it was so good. I would have thought that product upgrades would keep great features. Please ask for it to be re-instated in 12.5 Quote Link to comment

Kevin Beacham Posted December 20, 2005 Author Share Posted December 20, 2005 Thanks Kevin, Is there another way of seeing the RGB value of the light, without ungrouping the high level object? Quote Link to comment
