Slider for Zoom Fixtures beam size


Anthony Neary

Question

This is something I would love to see, which would make my life insanely easier and hopefully others.

 

Right now Spotlight fixture objects can only handle a single set of beam/field and candlepower figures, but why can't we put the beam, field, and candlepower values in for a low and high end of a zoom range and then have a slider to move along between them in the OIP?  Practically every moving light has a zoom parameter, and conventional zooms and fresnels all have posted values for the narrow and wide extremes.  As it is, if I adjust the zoom factor of a fixture but want to take advantage of the light calculators I need to manually do the inverse square math on the candlepower values to find the correct number.  Surely the object info pallete can handle this level of math and make dealing with zoom fixtures much easier.

 

Thoughts?
