focus tool

[Shac23]

Hello to you all,

I have a stage with a focus point and i have a light set to it but when i render it i get a black beam. how do i fix it so i will see a white beam?

Make sure you have the light turned on (visualization palette) and not Draw Beam (object info palette).

And you have to be in a render mode that will show light.

If you want to see the beam make sure that fog is turned on, (and Distance Falloff is NOT "None".)

Cool thanks. I got it to work with a Leko but when I try with a Color Blast it dosent work. Am I doing something wrong?

[michaelk]

Looks like there is a mistake in the stock Colorblast 12 Symbol.

This one should render a little better.

I dont know why but I cant get this one to work.

I opened the new color blast file and exported the symbol to the Color Kinetics library then I inserted it to the plot turned the fixture on and gave it a focus point but it still does not render.

Don't put the new symbol in the library. Bring it straight into your drawing. Make it active in the resource browser. Use the Replace with Active Symbol button in the OIP to replace the old symbols with the new ones.
